What's your Beer Style?


WOW, there are many different styles and varieties of beers that it is just simply amazing. If you want that one bar that houses cider and lager, then World of Beers is the place to be. But, I guess having over 500 beers who would expect anything different. I want to go through the main different types of beers and give some examples. I learned a lot when doing my research and hopefully you will too!

I want to start with my all time favorite type of beer. CIDER! If you have ever experienced the taste of cider you would sure know! Ciders have a distinguishing taste; they don’t have the harsh beer taste or the taste of light beer either. Instead, they have a unique taste of apple juice. That is right, cider is made with apple juice. I found this to be extremely interesting but it made sense why the taste is so enjoyable. Examples of ciders are: Strongbow, Blackthorn, Woodchuck, and Magners



Another style of beer is
lager. Lager however has many styles of its own. There are Pilsner, bocks, and marzen’s… just to name a few. The main thing with lager beers is that they are made from the yeast at the bottom of the vessel. Lagers are made in cooler climates as well and are lighter and drier in taste then ales. Light beer is also considered part of the lager family. Light beer can be looked at as the low- alcohol beer or the diet of beers. Some examples of lagers include; Yuengling, Fosters, Blue Ribbon and bud light.


Yeast is an important ingredient in beer and depending on which part of the vessel can determine the beer you are brewing. Ale beers get their yeast from the top of the vessels and are not made in such cool climates; the thermometer is usually raised a little bit. Since ale’s are made at a warmer temperature you are more likely to be served a warm beer when ordering ale. Sam Adams, Guinness extra stout, and Newcastle Brown ale, are all examples of ale beers. 


World of Beers my one stop spot for a great beers has a wide variety of each style and many more styles. You will never get bored with just one style of beer and they always have new beers coming in. So next time you want a beer, try something new. Try an Ale or a Cider.
