Sample a New Beer
All beers are made from a basic combination of water, malts, hops and yeast. They essentially break down into two main types – ales and lagers – and the main difference is the brewing process.
Ale
Ales are brewed quickly (sometimes in just one week) using top-fermenting yeast at mid-range room temperatures. The yeast and fermentation process give them a fruitier and spicier flavor than lagers.
Ales are generally full-bodied, robust and complex, darker, and have a higher alcohol content than lagers. They come in many varieties, such as pale ale, India pale ale, amber ale, porters and stouts.
Our recommendations include:
- 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.
- Newcastle Brown Ale is the biggest selling bottled ale in the UK, at more than 47 million bottles a year. The taste is sweet, hoppy and well balanced with a malty, nutty aroma.
- Mastic Pale Ale is a light bodied, golden Pale Ale from Cayman Islands Brewery that is burnt orange in color and features a nice citrus flavor with aromas of grapefruit skin, pine and tropical fruit.
Lager
Lagers are brewed at near-freezing temperatures using a more fragile yeast. Fermentation is slow and the beer is more stable, so it can be stored (or “lagered”) for longer than ales. The longer aging process gives lagers a lighter body and a smooth, crisp and refreshing finish.
Lagers range from sweet to bitter and pale to black, but most are a pale to medium color, have high carbonation, and emphasize the hops and malt flavors. They include pilsners, bocks and dunkels, and are the world’s most popular beers.
We recommend these lagers:
- 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.
- Samuel Adams Boston Lager from the Boston Beer Company is a deep amber lager that helped revive a passion for full-flavored, rich and robust brews more than 30 years ago.
- Ironshore Bock from Cayman Islands Brewery is an amber beer that is brewed with specialty hops from the Cascade Mountains to 7% ABV and aged in rum barrels.
