Best Answer

Lagers are beers using a bottom fermenting yeast which works at a lower temp than Ale yeast. The lower temp takes longer to work so they are "lagerd" [German for "stored"] Lagering makes them smoother but has nothing to do with the amount of hops they contain. FYI: The only Pilsners with few hops are the so called American pilsners made by the big boys [AB, Miller, Coors, etc.] these are actually American Style Lagers which are falsely called Pilsners.

Have vertigo not inner ear MRI says encephalomalacia left frontal lobe Could this be the cause of vertigo?

Lagers and ales are the two families of beer, distinguished by the type of yeast and the temperature of fermentation. Lagers are fermented at cooler temperatures by so-called "bottom fermenting" yeast. Beers in the lager family need to be conditioned-or "lagered"-somewhere cool for a number of weeks before they are ready to drink. Ales are fermented at warmer temperature by top-fermenting yeast strains, and are ready to drink sooner.There are many distinct styles of beer within the lager and ale families: for example, pilsner is one of the most popular lager styles; and porter and stout are examples of ale styles. And in both families, beers can run the gamut from light to dark-colored, and from weak to strong alcohol.
