Any craft brewery making a beer by one of these name is making craft lager. Today, many brewers call their craft lagers simply “a lager.” Other use more traditional names, including helles, pale lager, amber lager, Märzen, Munich dunkel, schwarzbier and Vienna lage. Many have taken that leap, and not just for pilsners. Ernie Watson will open the states first brewery to be located in East Providence. With so many modern breweries and dedicated equipment manufacturers today, that barrier no longer exists for anyone wanting to make the leap to lagers. There are enough other differences, too, that made it historically fairly common for a brewery to make ales or lagers, but not both. Ales can be brewed at relatively warm temperatures and are ready to drink in a few short weeks lagers require colder temperatures for the yeast to work and the process can take as long as a few months. The main differences are the yeast - ales use a top-cropping variety, lagers use a bottom-cropping yeast which sinks - and the brewing process itself. There are essentially two primary kinds of beers: ales and lagers. That’s why so many of the early successful craft beers were pale ales, brown ales, porters and yes, even IPAs. It was a sea change for the craft beer industry, which was built primarily on brewing ales, which take less time and are arguably more forgiving to make. They’re relatively inexpensive to make, especially in large quantities, with light flavors that allow most people to drink more of them than many heavier beers.Ī few years ago I wrote about how many smaller craft breweries were making pilsners now - fuller flavored versions of them that are closer to the original pilsners from what is now the Czech Republic.

It’s hard not to get caught up in IPA-mania, which seems to be always front and center in beer lovers’ minds, but since the mid-1800s when pilsners caught fire in Bohemia, their popularity has never really waned. 6 position as one of the 15 best new breweries in the world.Īlyssa Pereira is an SFGATE staff writer.Worldwide, pilsner is the most popular kind of beer - period.
