lager day...There are few things that are able to put a wonderful
cap at the end of a day like an ice-cold beer....it's the drink of
choice for many at sporting events and backyard barbecues. Lagers
were born in 19th century, Bavaria and was the result of brewers
who were experimenting with the benefits of storing beer for long
periods of time in very cold environments. The word lager itself is
derived from the German word lagern which means “to store”. Lagers
are distinguished from other beers by using a cold-conditioning
process. The types of yeast used are referred to as
"bottom-fermenting" yeast or yeast that can develop at colder
temperatures. Eventually, the refinement of the process led to the
beautiful golden beverage that many lager lovers drink today.
