National Lager Day: A Toast to Tradition Lagers, the world's most popular beer type, have a rich history dating back to the 15th century. Originating in Bavaria, lagers revolutionized beer-making with their unique bottom-fermentation process. This method, using yeast that ferments at cooler temperatures, creates a crisp, clean flavor distinct from traditional ales. By the 19th century, lagers had spread globally, gaining immense popularity. Fron Wikipedia: ...The term "lager" comes from the German word for "storage", as the beer was stored before drinking, traditionally in the same cool caves in which it was fermented... Today, lagers represent over 40% of the world's beer consumption. This dominance is due to their refreshing taste and broad appeal, ranging from light pilsners to darker dunkels. Lagers have become synonymous with social gatherings, celebrations, and daily relaxation. On National Lager Day, we celebrate this brewing marvel. Whether you prefer a classic Pilsner, a hearty Bock, or a light American lager, raise a glass to the centuries-old tradition that continues to bring joy to millions worldwide. Cheers to Lager Day! 🍻 More in: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lager Text mostly by ChatGPT-4, Art by Dall-E 3.
