Today’s Wordle Etymology
The word lager comes from the German word “lagern,” which means “to store.” It refers to a type of beer that is stored or aged in cool conditions for extended periods. The term became associated with the beer itself, which is brewed using bottom-fermenting yeast and is typically aged at low temperatures, resulting in a clean, crisp taste. The practice of storing beer in cool cellars or caves for aging led to the term lager being used to describe this style of beer.
