Here is my little daily lesson for you all. You drink them both, but do you know what the difference is?
The core differences:
1. Fermenting
Ale: This is made from what is known as top fermenting. So the yeast ferments at the top of the tank. This will typically happen towards the end of the process.
Lager: Yeasts that ferment at the bottom of the tank. Rather than the top.
2. Temperature
An Ale: Is fermented at warm temperatures. They mature faster than lagers for this reason.
Lager: Colder temperatures (46-59°F).
There you have it kids! It comes down to how they are made and their unique flavours are controlled by these core factors! (Yes, there are many more things which go into making a great brew - but these are the basics)
