Question: what is the difference between lager bitter ale and stout?
Answer: Stouts, as you can probably guess, are ales, dark malts, and the hops vary depending on what sweet/bitter balance the brewer is going for. Pale lagers are lagers, light malts, light hops. Amber ale is medium roasted, often lots of hops. ... Lagers are fermented with a yeast that prefer lower temps.
