Many of us here on the pod are partial to a clean, crisp lager! On the surface, this style may seem simple, but these bottom-fermented beers make it very difficult to hide faults. They must be cellared at a cool temperature and take a considerable amount of time to produce. There is even a special verb for this process: “lagering”. Thandi, Katie, and Bean discuss the history of lagers, what makes them different from ales, and how to brew them. Gone are the days of the light, fizzy beer; roll-on, variety…from Pilsner to Bock, Märzen to Dunkel.
