 The Lager Debate - Lager vs. Ale, which is better?
Lagers are made using the same basic ingredients as ale, but there are two major differences: yeast and fermentation temperature.

Ale and lagers share the benefit of a rich variety of flavors and aromas due to the yeast used, but ales tend to be more robust and fuller flavored than lagers because of the warmer fermentation.
