Top fermentation
Fermented at a temperature between 59°F and 79°F, top fermented beers are famous because of their more complex flavours. Moreover, they often have a higher alcohol content (depending on the malt quantity) than bottom fermented ones.
This fermentation type was originally the most spread one, but since this time bottom fermented beers have flooded the market. Mainly brewed by artisanal breweries, top fermented beers are the ones prefered by beer lovers.
Not refermented in the bottle
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.
