Beer can be called the drink for all seasons, and reasons. Whether you're chilling at a sports bar with friends or out for a brunch, the many varieties of beer make it possible to pair the drink with any food.

From lagers to India Pale Ale (IPAs), beer lists continue to grow on menus.

Beer can be broadly classified as an ale or a lager; then depending on their flavours and styles they can be India Pale Ales (IPA), pilsners, porters, stouts, and wheat and Belgian beers, among others.

While the major difference between various beers is the yeast and the temperature they are fermented at, here's a list to help you show-off your beer knowledge the next time you head out.

The beer for beginners, lagers are brewed at low temperatures, using the bottom-fermenting strains of yeast. This yeast has a lower tolerance to alcohol, making many lagers light and crisp (though that doesn’t hold true for all of them and don’t be surprised to spot a dark, rich lager).

Talking about the growing trend of lager consumption in India, Mahesh Kanchan, Vice President- Marketing, Carlsberg India, said, “Lagers are synonymous with a refined and distinctly satisfying taste.

"Known for their deep, full-flavoured malty notes, lagers have seen great appreciation from the Indian consumer base."

Brewed with top fermenting yeast at warmer temperatures, ales are usually full-bodied with a hoppy finish. Top-fermenting yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) has greater tolerance to alcohol, and hence produces stronger (higher alcohol content) beers.

Ales tend to be darker, have a cloudier appearance, and a stronger, more robust flavour.

Perfect for a hot summer day, pilsners are light and refreshing. This beer originated in the town of Plzen in the Czech Republic. Pale lagers were flavoured with a stronger hop called the Saaz hop, resulting in the hoppy Pilsner. Most of them tend to have around 5-6% ABV.

Wheat beer, as the name suggests, is made up of at least 50 per cent wheat. The wheat content is much higher than in other beers that primarily contain barley or rye.

While most wheat beers are pale and cloudy, they are also light and refreshing.

Some varieties are Hefeweizen (a Bavarian beer with banana, bubblegum, and clove notes), Dunkelweizen (a darker hefeweizen with a more roasted malt), Weizenbock (a stronger hefeweizen with more fruit and malt flavours), Witbier (a Belgian style wheat beer), Berliner Weisse (a northern Bavarian light and sour beer), and American Wheat (the American version of a German wheat beer).
