Lager Day

10 December

The 10th of December is Lager Day.

Today is a good day to learn a bit more about lager.

Lager is a subcategory of beer. Typically, it is a summer beer that is fizzy, and crisp, with less complex flavours and alcohol content than an ale, which is another subcategory of beer.

A lager is usually pale in colour but can also be dark (these lagers are known as Dunkel or Dunkles).

There are many different types of lager.

Lagers evolved from beer stored in cellars or caves to keep it cool in the summers.

To celebrate today, you could go to a bar and enjoy a frosted mug of lager, or go to a store, and pick up a bottle of imported lager you haven’t had before.

You could also find a recipe that calls for it, and cook with some lager!
