"Lagers use a top fermenting yeast"???
Umm I dont think so, pretty sure its the exact opposite

[@ArthurCeballos]

Agreed

[@jonnymank]

Yep you’re right !

[@merlin.peters]

It is the exact opposite! You are right.

[@dagome_prime]

The channel HuffPost does not know what he is talking about and does not even care - SUBSCRIBE! 🤣🤣🤣

[@raizocrom4021]

wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. I like correct information, it makes the learning curve much easier.

[@hackeyjames1134]

Um. Aren't the fermentation processes incorrect???
The video states that, "Lager use a top fermenting yeast while ales use a bottom fermenting yeast."
Isn't it the EXACT OPPOSITE??

[@joclermont]

Cameron Bentley my thoughts exactly.

[@Moloch6666]

yep
Lager = Bottom-Fermenting Yeast
Ale = Top-Fermenting Yeast

[@stevenmqcueen7576]

It's Huffington Post. What did you expect?

[@icandleall]

this disinfo should start some bar fights

[@askalladventure8793]

hahaha i know im studying right now for my bartending interview lol

[@zixednatz]

lagers are brewed using bottom-fermenting strains of yeast held at colder temperatures (around 40-52°F), while ales are brewed with a top fermenting yeast that operates at warmer temperatures (around 55-77°F, usually).

[@alorikkoln]

You are right. That dude got his yeasts totally mixed up. Amongst the top yeasts are also Weizen Beer, Kölsch and Alt Beer in Germany and Blond Beer in Belgium. But they all taste very different than Irish and British Ale. Kölsch actually tastes more like a lager.

[@Spacegoat92]

Bro i've been doing home brew for only 2 months. I know 2/8 of bugger all about it. But even I know that ales have a top fermenting yeast, and lager uses a bottom fermenting yeast. I'm trying to learn how to do home brews properly! I don't need this kind of misinformation in my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@relikvia4]

Tell them space goat!

[@hectorguzman8435]

Im more than positive that the fermentation process is the opposite. lagers use bottom, ales use top...

[@josephsonners2743]

Did he say it the other away around? I always remember Ale on top ""A" and Lager is bottom, "L" forming the word AL.

[@hectorguzman8435]

Joseph Sonners he sure did. Min 1:03

[@nunyabizness9955]

Of course! Everything from Huffpost is an inversion of the truth, why would their educational videos on beer be any different! 🤦

[@kratomseeker5258]

yea someone needs to put a correction text in the video its the opposite the bottom fermenting yeast beers are lagers. please correct it or take the video down.

[@merlin.peters]

WRONG! Lager is bottom-fermented and Ale is top-fermented! Seriously! ??

[@fbnflaviusbroadcastingnetw6786]

That thumbnail looks delicious. 😋
Sierra Nevada’s Pale Ale and Guinness Draught Stout are my favorite drinks. 🇺🇸🇮🇪

[@iElimiinatezHD]

1:11 Who else got pissed off with the way they poured the drinks 👌🏻

[@mrcredator]

wasn't it the correct way? to get the C02 out so it ease your stomach and it's also nice to taste and smell the foam too

[@kmsharley75]

Only douchebags like you. Go visit these breweries websites and you will see that many of them recommend pouring down the center.

[@jazzed2b]

You guessed wrong. Ale is top fermenting and lager is bottom

[@jonathanwilder894]

Dude you got the type of yeast of fermentation backassword...Ale/Top Lager/ Bottom

[@redrb26dett]

IPA is a type of ale allowed to age the clue is in the name India pale ale made in Britain and transported by sailing ships to India for the soldiers daily ration of beer a rule changed to rum as most beers dont travel well until they discovered ipa

[@visharadrawat977]

Which one is warmer for the body - ale or Lager?

[@DrawbridgeMedia]

Nice beer

[@admiralgoodboy]

I like most lagers but prefer ale

[@NightOwlGames]

why is budwiser called beer? its nothing like beer its very much like a fizzy lagar thats not beer, beer is smooth and creamy.

[@bockety]

Incorrect...

[@sheenalee8247]

Yeah they got the fermentation backwards lol

[@90hotshot]

wrong information

[@rhodoliteproductions8344]

0:14 touching the tap straight to the glass, super cringe

[@ZionForman]

this is sort of accurate

[@kingjeremysircornwell7847]

lager is a cold brewed beer. hot yeast.

[@Srindal4657]

Lager is funking gross. Horrible taste. I love my ales and ciders. Although I'm slowly moving towards ales as being my favorite

[@sarojgrg47711983]

ale = hot temperature fermentation which means it boils = top fermenting yeast
lager = cold temperature fermentation which means its not hot = bottom fermenting yeast
Huff post = Duh !!!!

[@shahrokhabbasirad2223]

I liked your video. But lots of wrong info dude

[@georgiebungle2252]

All American beers are …..

[@heatherseliga7250]

Lagers are bottom fermenting and ales are top fermenting, innacurate video

[@alexanderjarvis2008]

For some reason I thought lager was spelled logger but logger beer is just GTA San Andreas beer

[@Eeeeeeee.eeeeeeee]

Wait.
States has beer?

[@BeerByTheNumbers]

not really but we try haha

[@MrClemmo13]

So what’s the difference between the two different yeasts?

[@lucyruggy9903]

Buckfast

[@alejandrorivas4585]

Different rates of metabolism, where they live in the fermentation, their tastes, etc. Its german shepherd's vs bloodhound, just different "breeds" but they are both yeast

[@MrDicast]

Wrong wrong wrong!!!!!
