Rattlesnake Mountain Brewing

Archive for December 3rd, 2007

Lager is perhaps something that people are very familiar with, since it is the most common form of beer that is consumed around the globe today. This was originally made in Germany by Gabriel Sedlmayr. He changed how pale ale was being produced and incorporated lager brewing techniques to produce a new kind of beer called pale lager in the 1800s.

This was perhaps one of the most stable beers ever produced and its technique was largely adapted by breweries around the globe. The brewing technique started using the method employed by Sedlmayr in Germany. Unlike beer ales, fermentation for lager beers is much slower and yeasts used settle at the bottom of the fermenting medium and are more active at low temperatures.

With the new procedure in place, it was found out that the resulting beer produced during that process is very neutral in the sense that there has been a little mark of bitterness and sweetness on the beer. Cool climates in Europe supported the success of lager breweries and its soothing taste has gained quick acceptance from the tastes buds of beer drinkers around the globe. Due to the cost associated with cool storage, small-time breweries cannot afford to stay in the market. This is why breweries with large capital are the only industries that are able to keep their place in lager brewery market.
