DESCRIPTION:

Lager Day celebrates the form of beer known as Lager.

Lager refers to a beer category characterized by its fermentation and conditioning method. Unlike top-fermenting ales, which stimulate yeast at warmer temperatures, lagers are made with bottom-fermenting yeast and are fermented and conditioned at colder temperatures.

The term "lager" derives from the German word "lagern," meaning "to store." Its name reflects the traditional method of brewing Lager, which involves storing the beer in cool cellars for extended conditioning periods.

Plzen, Bohemia created the forerunner to today's lager, Dunkel, in the 13th century and into the Middle Ages. During the 15th and 16th centuries, techniques became more refined and widespread.

The modern process originated in 1842 Bavaria with Josef Groll and is the secret to the Lager's crisp, clean taste. Before this, brewers relied on natural ice and cool caves to achieve the low temperatures necessary for lager fermentation and storage. The advent of mechanical refrigeration allowed for more consistent and controlled brewing conditions, facilitating the mass production and global spread of Lager.

Lager beer gained immense popularity in Europe and eventually went to the United States with German immigrants in the mid-19th century. It quickly became a favored style in America, further developed and popularized by brewers like Adolphus Busch, co-founder of Anheuser-Busch, who introduced Budweiser, one of the most famous lagers.

Today, Lager is the world's most widely consumed and commercially available type of beer. Its varieties range from pale lagers like Pilsners, which are light and refreshing, to darker versions like Dunkels and Bocks, known for their more decadent flavors. The evolution of lager brewing reflects a blend of tradition, technological advancement, and cultural exchange, making it a cornerstone of beer culture and history.
