Beer Styles

Beer can be divided into 2 different classes, LAGERS and ALES. ALES are Top- Fermented at higher temperatures for shorter periods of time. More fruity and wine-like than LAGERS. LAGERS are Bottom-Fermented at lower temperatures for longer periods of time, and then are Lagered (German for to Store) before consumption. Generally "crisper" flavor characteristics.

Lagers

Pilsner

- Light in color and body with a pronounced Hop Flavor, named after the town of Pilsen in the Czech Republic

Oktoberfest/Vienna

- Copper-colored, medium-bodied, with a sweet finish, originated in Vienna, but now found mostly in Southern Germany as Marzen beers, or as Oktoberfest beer.

Munchner

- Indigenous to Munich, this beer is heavier and finishes sweeter than Pilsners or Export styles. Both Light and Dark styles exist.

Export

- Light in color, these beers are drier than those found in more Southern regions of Germany.

Bock & Doppelbock

- Style originating in the German town of Einbeck, these beers are of higher than normal alcohol content (in Germany, but not in the so-called Bocks of the U.S.) generally much sweeter and heavier than other lagers. Dopplebocks all end in -ator in honor of the original Salvator from the Paulaner brewery of Munich. Extremely high in alcohol content.

Ales

Pale Ale

- Generally copper colored, with varying degrees of hops, indigenous style of Great Britain. Range of alcoholic strength from bitters, at the low end designed for all night consumption, to best bitters, of medium strength designed for just-a-few, to special, for when you only want one or two.

Brown Ales

- Light brown in color, slightly sweet, with much less hops than paler styles

Old Ales

- Rich, dark in color and of medium strength.

Barleywine

- Very high alcohol content, thick and sweet, designed to be drunk in small quantities as an after dinner drink or to finish the night.

Porter & Stout

- Very highly roasted grains give these beers their flavor and black color. Porters are of relatively lighter body than stouts. Stouts originated in Dublin with Guinness.

Abbey/Trappist

- Dark, rich, Belgian ales of monastic origins

Wheat Beer

- Beer containing malted wheat (35-65%) in addition to the Barley malt, giving it a slightly acidic and very effervescent nature. Hefe-Weizens are bottle conditioned, and cloudy, Kristall-Weizens have the Yeast filtered out and are not fermented in the bottle. Sometimes served with a slice of lemon to enhance their thirst quenching ability.

Cask Conditioned

- Second fermentation and maturation occur in the cask, creating natural carbonation
