http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtmIHICLLYk I had my first beer when I was 5 and my last when I was 12.
My dad worked for Farmers Winery (Distell) for years, and we always had free beer and wine to drink.
By the time I was 12 I was done with beer.
2. From the intaweb :
While the nature of yeast was not fully understood until Emil Hansen of the Carlsberg brewery in Denmark isolated a single yeast cell in the 1800s, brewers in Bavaria had for centuries been selecting these cold-fermenting Lager yeasts by storing or "Lagern" their beers in cold alpine caves. The process of natural selection meant that the wild yeasts that were most cold tolerant would be the ones that would remain actively fermenting in the beer that was stored in the caves. Some of these Bavarian yeasts were stolen and brought back to the Carlsberg brewery around the time that Hansen did his famous work.
Lager yeast tends to collect at the bottom of the fermenter and is often referred to as "bottom-fermenting" yeast. Lager is fermented at much lower temperatures, around 10°C (50°F), compared to typical ale fermentation temperatures of 18°C (65°F). It is then stored for 30 days or longer close to the freezing point. During the storing or "lagering" process, the beer mellows and flavors become smoother. Sulfur components developed during fermentation dissipate. The popularity of lager was a major factor that led to the rapid introduction of refrigeration in the early 1900s.
Today, lagers represent the vast majority of beers produced, the most famous being a light lager called Pilsner which originated in Pilsen, Czech Republic (Plzen in Czech language). It is a common misconception that all lagers are light in color: lagers can range from very light to deep black, just like ales.
