Lager and Pilsner (also known as Pilsener, Pilsen or Pils) make up a large proportion of popular beers worldwide. But I don't know how many people, like me, once thought Pearson was a brand. In fact, Pilsen is also a kind of beer classification, it uses the lager process, but it is different from lager beer. So what's the difference between the two?
lager
The word "Lager" comes from the German Lagern, meaning cellar, so lager beer is also known as lager beer. Lager together with
ale
Together and called the world
The most mainstream
Unlike Ale, which has a long history, lager only began to appear in the 19th century. Lagers are matured at a low temperature and are fermented at the bottom of a barrel
yeast
It is fermented by bacteria (this process is called the underfermentation process) and is needed after fermentation is complete
cryopreservation
It can be drunk after a few months.
Because of the yeast sinking, so the lager is relatively clear, low temperature storage can extend the suitable drinking time. As a result, lagers are very popular all over the world, and 90% of the beer on the market is lagers. There are many branches of lager beer, including German Lager, Belgian Lager, American Lager and Chinese Lager. Based on color, lagers can be further subdivided into Pale lagers (Pale lagers)

The difference between a Lager and a Pilsen is this: All Pilsen beers are lagers, but not all Lagers are Pilsen.

Immigrants brought it to the United States, and Americans grew to love the beer. However, the United States has less barley, so it gradually replaced barley with corn to brew beer, and then it evolved to replace barley with rice or starch, so it gradually formed the common lager on the market today.
(3) Color and taste
In fact, because of the different ingredients, this American lager is far less tasty than the European beer, but as the United States grew, this cheap beer became popular everywhere. Lagers come in a wide variety of colors, including light, gold,

And dark colors. Due to the use of low temperature fermentation, so lagger

For a long time, the classic Pilsen has been the use of winery large

According to RateBeer.com, the vast majority of "bad" beers in the world are lagers. Despite this, people still love lagers, such as the world's best-selling beer
Budweiser
(Budweiser) and Miller and Coors, also from the United States.
The popularity of Pearson in the world is also needless to say, but the popularity of ordinary Lager brands should be higher in the eyes of the Chinese people, which may be related to the good market of these brands. Of course, a brand can produce either a Pearson or a Lager, such as Heineken.
