Frequenty Asked Questions
What’s the deal with 3.2 or 4.0 beer?
There are two ways of measuring the alcohol content of beer, by weight or by volume. Utah uses the weight standard. A beer measuring 3.2% alcohol by weight, measures 4.0% alcohol by volume. So when comparing Utah beers to other brews, remember the difference.
What’s the difference between ales and lagers?
Beer can be divided into two groups based upon the method of fermentation. Ales are fermented with ale yeast (top fermentation), and do best at a higher temperature (65’ - 70’F). Ales typically exhibit a high ester (fruity) profile. Lagers are fermented with lager yeast (bottom fermenting), which prefer a cooler environment (54’ - 50’F). Lagers also under go a longer cold conditioning period than do ales.
