Raise a Glass to Alcoholic Beverages

There are a number of different types of beer. If you haven't expanded your beer drinking to give some different types a try, then you may not know what you could be missing out on. You might find that there are some other types of beer you would really enjoy. Here is some information on some different types of beer you might want to give a try in the near future:  

Lager

A lager is a type of beer that has gone through the fermentation process for a longer period of time and at a lower temperature than what's usually used. Lagers generally have a taste that's often described as a clean and crisp flavor. They are usually lighter and milder than many of the other types of beer that are on the market. Also, lagers tend to have a sweeter taste to them, whereas many other types of beer tend to be more on the bitter side. The mild flavor of this beer makes it a flexible one and allows it to be paired with many types of food. 

Sour ale

Sour ale beer is a type of beer that's recently started to gain more popularity. It is a beer that's been crafted using wild yeasts, like that of sourdough bread, for example. Sour ales can be described as having a tart and tangy taste, and are often served with sweet foods, like fruit, because it pairs well with these foods. 

Pale ale

Pale ale is a type of beer that is known for having a fruity scent to it. Although the name may make you think this beer is a light one, it is actually one that has a strong taste to it. This beer is often paired with spicy food because it has that strong taste that allows it to work well with spicier foods. 

Pilsner

A pilsner is a type of beer that's considered to be a subset of a lager. The pilsner is considered to be a beer that tends to taste more like hops than most others. It is also a beer that has a more bitter taste to it than some other kinds of beer. The bitterness of the pilsner also makes it a good option to pair with sweet and fruity foods. 

Conclusion

The beers described above are just a few of the many ones available. They offer you a good place to begin when you decide to start trying different types of beer.
