Lager, which is the German word of storage, is a type of beer. The name originates from the practice of storing, or "lagering," beers in caves to keep them cold. As refrigeration methods improved, so did the popularity of lager.
Lagers are available as pale lagers, or dark. Pale lagers are the most widely consumed and available beers worldwide. These are golden coloured drinks at the high end of the alcohol scale for beers that were developed in the 19th century.
Dark lagers which, as their name implies, are darker than pale lagers and range from amber to a dark reddish brown, were more common prior to the emergence of pale lagers, as until that point lagers were predominately dark.
Lagers do not have to be just drink either. There are uses for them in cooking too - although some lagers do not react well to heating.
