Pale lager
Pale lager is a very pale to
golden-coloured
beer with a well attenuated body and
noble hop bitterness. The brewing process for this beer developed in the mid 1800s when Gabriel Sedlmayr took
pale ale brewing techniques back to the
Spaten Brewery in
Germany and applied it to existing lagering brewing methods. This approach was picked up by other brewers, most notably
Josef Groll who produced
Pilsner Urquell. The resulting pale coloured, lean and stable beers were very successful and gradually spread around the globe to become the most common form of beer consumed in the world today.
