Title: reg Post by: Reg Smeeton on Wednesday, May 11, 2005, 22:51:08 Think the term lager can be used as a generic term for any beer brewed in a certain way, its probably only in Germany though where strict rules about name usage are applied....Stella here is described as a Belgian beer....but its brewed in the UK and distributed from Looton.
Similar kind of problems crop up with Budweiser Budvar, which has recently been introduced to my local and I would guess is lager.....but gets you severely pissed. I'll check the Budvar tomorrow for you scummer. Title: reg Post by: OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR on Thursday, May 12, 2005, 08:33:28 Quote from: "Reg Smeeton" I'll check the Budvar tomorrow for you scummer.

Title: reg Post by: ron dodgers on Thursday, May 12, 2005, 13:51:10 I thought 'lagering' was when they laid down the stuff to age in cold conditions as the yeast is different to ales - tis bottom fermenting I fink, and used to only work in the cold. It took a long time, hence 'all the sugar turns to alcohol' (woohoo).
Later saccharomyces carlsbergensis, the yeast that Carlsberg isolated, so they could 'lager' the beers in the warm weather as well. so dear scummer, lagers have been lagered for years that's why they should be nice and strong - not the weak, made from rice , piss tasting shite from chemical plants (can't call them breweries). Budvar is £3 a pint in the 'Hive - makes me really pissed for some reason. regards Ron (assistant Reg) Title: reg Post by: Reg Smeeton on Thursday, May 12, 2005, 16:48:25 Ron and Reg Piranha. Budvar Bros.
Title: reg Post by: migzy on Thursday, May 12, 2005, 17:45:42 Really geeky answer but as a result of EU law you can't have a requirement of alcohol level in order to name a product 'lager' - once it is in circulation in one Member State it has to be allowed in to any other member state, so even the Germans couldn't stop it anymore.
