Lager iBeer.-This beverage derives its
name from the custom in Germany of brew
ing it only in winter and storing it away,
Or laying back, that part of it which ia
destined to be consumed during the ann
mer months, in large, cool Vaults or cellars.
inc German word lager having the defini
lion OF stock or store. There are three
kands-winter beer, which is brewed and
consumed during the winter, the lager beer
malt extract than lager, and is therefore
the strongest of the three. The chemical
constituents OF lager beer are, according tn
Professor Liebig, the renowned German
chemist, as follows: Alcohol, from 80 to s
Per cent; SOHO substances, as starch gum,
sugar and vegetable albumen, from 4 to
per cent; carbonic acid from OILS to O.Is
Per cent; water, from Ss.5 to 90 per cent.
The proportion of alcohol contained in r. is
small, as appears from the above analvsis
and N this respect it widely differs from
distilled liquors. Lager beer is spiritu-
IN excessive quantities. According to Lie
big's doctrine it produces in the human
body nothing but fat. Moteschott. the
well-known German naturalist, saws chat
good lager beer is just as nutritious as
fruiss are. The hop-bitter Contained in
lager beer, according to some authorities
imparts TO it tonic properties, which makes

these authorities assert, favors the process
Of digestion by increasing the quantity of
digestive secretions in the stomach, and
strengthens the muscular activity. when
relaxed BY sickness or long exertion. Good
lager beer 10 considered BY prominent Ger
IMAM Psychologists quite as healthfnl tn the
human body as tea and coffee, On the
other hand, hop-bitter has q somnolent |
eazect. 1t prevents the beverage from get
ting sour. Lager beer seems to be alto |
gether German invention, and even IN |
this country its manufacture Ia almost ay-
in the hands of Germans. The
Lager beer brewed and sold at Milwaukee,

OF this country. 1t is the opinion of ex-
perienced brewers that the auality and
taste of lager beer depend to some DEGREES
upon the water used for it.
