beer varietals

Beer varietals refer to the different styles or types of beer, each with unique flavors, aromas, and brewing techniques. They are typically categorized into two main types: ales and lagers. Ales are brewed with top-fermenting yeast at warmer temperatures, resulting in rich, fruity flavors. Lagers use bottom-fermenting yeast at cooler temperatures, producing crisp, clean tastes. Within these categories, you’ll find sub-styles like IPAs (hoppy and bitter), stouts (dark and rich), and pilsners (light and refreshing). Each varietal reflects the ingredients, brewing process, and regional traditions, offering diverse experiences for beer enthusiasts.
