Types of Beer

All beers are made from a basic combination of water, malts, hops and yeast. They break down into two main types –lagers and ales – and the main difference between them is the brewing process.

ALES

Ales are brewed quickly (sometimes in as little as one week) using top-fermenting yeast at mid-range room temperatures. The yeast and fermentation process tend to give them a fruitier and spicier flavor than lagers.

Ales are generally full-bodied, robust and complex. They are often darker than lagers, ranging from rich gold to reddish amber. In general, they have a higher alcohol content than lagers. Ales come in many varieties, including pale ale, India pale ale, amber ale, porters and stouts.

  • Blue Moon Belgian White is an unfiltered white wheat ale (a.k.a. Witbier) with a smooth, crisp taste and a zesty orange fruitiness. It is brewed by Coors Brewing Company in Golden, Colorado.
  • Twisted Thistle IPA is a medium bodied, golden India Pale Ale produced by Scotland’s Belhaven Brewery Company. It has a sweet, smooth and creamy finish and a great reddish color in the glass.

LAGERS

A lager is a beer that is made with a bottom-fermenting yeast — a yeast that, when done fermenting, drops to the bottom of the tank. Because they are slowly fermented in very cold temperatures, the beer is more stable and can be stored (or “lagered”) for longer than ales.

By appearance, mouth feel and taste, lagers are lighter in body and color and have a crisp flavor. They can range from sweet to bitter and pale to black, but most are a pale to medium color, have high carbonation, and an emphasis on the hops and malt flavors. In general, lagers have a lower alcohol content than ales. Lagers include pilsners, bocks and dunkels, and are the world’s most popular beers.

The most popular American beers— Bud Light, Coors Light, Budweiser and Miller Lite — are all lagers. We encourage you to expand your horizons and try these from the Cayman Islands:

  • Caybrew is a full-bodied premium pale lager from Cayman Islands Brewery. It has a clean, crisp character and is the brewery’s flagship product. It has been awarded an international gold medal for quality.
  • White Tip Lager, another favorite from Cayman Islands Brewery, is a smooth, moderate-bodied pilsner and the world’s first conservation beer. Part of the profits are donated to Cayman Marine Conservation.
