Pilsner Vs Lager: What's The Difference?

Dunkel, Doppelbock, and Schwarzbier get no respect. *sigh*

"As Eater describes, lagers are light feeling, typically yellow beers while ales tend to be darker, thicker, and richer in taste."

Hey, they got all of us to click on it. Isn't that the real goal of internet publishers?

 

Actually, it's all @steveh fault. I would have never clicked on it, but he posted the link on here.

But I'm not going to shoot the messenger.

 

There's room for two on my soap box.

 

But can't they do both? Provide accurate information while we click?

Cheers!

 

They could, but...

 

This whole thread is one reason beer nerds often get pigeon holed as beer snobs. When in fact it is the poorly researched, ill informed and sloppy internet article of the moment that gets it all wrong and is deserving of our condescension.

I try to tell non beer people who ask me beer questions the actual correct answer, and if it goes against some bullshite you read on-line, that's not on me. Why'd you ask me in the first place?

The whole point of calling this place BeerAdvocate is to advocate for our beer. Articles like these are still too frequent and we can pile on if we like. There is plenty of good information readily available. This junk is nothing more than a bunch of poorly researched links, a day's work and a $300 commision. Crap. Just crap. Go write about the Kardashians and leave beer alone.

 

That quote said there is no difference and then immediately afterwards said one is a unique and specific type of the other. To me, that's a contradiction. People are complaining that the author is getting beer stuff wrong. I don't expect everybody who writes an article about beer to be a beer expert. BUT, when someone contradicts themselves like that, it has nothing to do with a lack of understanding about the subject. It's a lack of understanding about writing... and I think it's fair to criticize the author on that level.

 

I have a feeling that Felix Behr would screw up that article too!

Cheers!

 

Maybe next they’ll cover the age old question...
What’s better, Ale or Stout?

 

I'm a little tea pot short and Porter just doesn't work. My apologies for saying that.

 

I do love a good Baltic stout!

 

Anyone have a couple hours to write a detailed complaint about their Fact Checking?

I tried the 'Contact' link but the email doesn't connect to my email, i.e. it goes nowhere.

Maybe a link of this thread to them will save a lot of time.
