  Lager - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lager is the term used in English to describe bottom-fermented beers of German and sometimes of Czech styles, though in the latter case the term Pilsener is more common.
Lager yeast is a bottom-fermenting yeast, and typically undergoes primary fermentation at 7-12°C (45-55°F) (the "fermentation phase"), and then is given a long secondary fermentation at 0-4°C (30-40°F) (the "lagering phase").
Lagers are stored at a low temperature (as low as 0°C/32°F) for several weeks to several months, clearing, acquiring mellowness, and becoming charged with carbon dioxide.

 Chapter VII. The Rise of Lager Beer
Lager beer, as a product of American industry, although introduced, as has been intimated, about the year 1842, did not gain popular favor until the decade following its introduction; nevertheless, all authorities agree that it tended even at that time to impart a strong impetus to brewing.
We say real beer, for, although the use of a wine like beverage, extracted from barley, extends far into the pre-historic ages, real beer (that is, the drink known to us by that name) is of more recent origin; yet, as to the place and date of the latter, nothing definite can be known.
Frederick Lauer, who himself brewed lager beer in 1844, the honor of having first brewed the famous drink of today belongs to one Wagner, of whom it is said, that, shortly after his arrival in America, in 1842, he set up a lager beer brewery in a small building situated in the suburbs of Philadelphia.
