lagering
Cold beer storage
Lagering is the cold-storage phase in brewing lager beer, during which the beer matures at near-freezing temperatures for weeks or months.
The process clarifies the beer and mellows its flavor.
The term comes from the German word for storage: The brewery lagers its pilsner for six weeks before bottling.
