Lagers started to be developed when brewers could ferment at a consistent low temp, something that for most of history was not available.



Thought the first were kept in caves to ferment.

Ales were the first but began as a mead type wine correct??

I have to be honest, I did not know this about the caves. Brewers were not trying to create lagers, just happened to do it since they could only brew in the winter, apparently. What we know as lagers today were really created with Pislner Urquell in the mid 1800's.
