]]> 79830 1 22 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/213922/22.jpg Consider the many varieties of beer. These include lagers, ales, stouts, porters and wheat beers, each having many sub-categories and variations within variations.

]]> 79831 2 34 Step http://img.howcast.com/system/thumbnails/213922/34.jpg Serve lager at cold temperatures – about 40-45 degrees, Ales, porters and stouts should be served at a temperature between 50 and 55 degrees, and wheat beer at around 48 degrees.
