White beer
These are top fermented and non filtered beers that contain non malted wheat. These specificities give them their slightly turbid and milky aspect .
Nowadays, they usually contain spices such as orange barks, coriander or pepper.
Very refreshing and thirst-quenching, they will be very appreciated during a warm afternoon.
Bottom fermentation
Fermented at a temperature between 39°F and 54°F, bottom fermented beers are usually less fruity and have a lower alcohol content than top fermented ones. Moreover, they often contain more carbon dioxide and should be drunk at a lower temperature.
This type of fermentation spread during the 19th century. It became famous because of a beer brewed in the city of Pilsen in Czech Republic. Since this time, the name of the city has been transmitted to bottom fermented beers that are usually called "Pils".
Not refermented in the bottle
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.
