The following article will cover the names of some leading beer brands that are enjoyed by drinkers around the world. Read this Tastessence post to know if your favorite brand features among the best.
For over a hundred centuries, drinkers around the world have enjoyed their chilled beer. There have been many brands of beer manufactured over the years. The styles of beer are largely classified as lager or ale.
Beer drinking is the favorite pastime for many, and a glass of ale is the most relaxing thing in the world. This drink is made from four ingredients―hops, malted barley, yeast, and water. Many brands also add spices, fruits, and vegetables to their recipes. Yeast that ferments at lower temperatures is used to make lager beer, whereas the one that ferments at higher temperatures is used to make ale. Let us understand the different types of beer.
Types of Beer
Types of Lager
Pale Lager
These are light-colored and light-bodied beers that are highly carbonated with a mild taste. The best brands of beer that produce pale lager are Budweiser and Coors.
Pilsner
The pale color beer that looks like a pale lager is a pilsner. It has a more bitter taste and the flavors of pilsner are more distinctive than a pale lager.
Light Lager
The American light lager contains less hops and barley that is used to produce low-calorie beers. The European light lagers are pale in color with light taste.
Dark Lager
The beer made from roasted hops and barley are dark lager beers. They have a rich flavor and are obviously dark in color. They are full-bodied beers.
Types of Ale
Brown Ale
Brown ale beer has a red to copper color with a mild flavor.
Porter
The porter is dark in color and full-bodied. It has barley as the dominating flavor. They are richly flavored and may even taste like chocolate.
Stout
Stout beer is like a porter, but is the darkest and the thickest of all beers. It has a strong barley and hop flavor.
