Fermented at a temperature between 39°F and 54°F, bottom fermented beers are usually less fruity and have a lower alcohol content than top fermented ones. Moreover, they often contain more carbon dioxide and should be drunk at a lower temperature.
This type of fermentation spread during the 19th century. It became famous because of a beer brewed in the city of Pilsen in Czech Republic. Since this time, the name of the city has been transmitted to bottom fermented beers that are usually called "Pils".
After main fermentation, these beers are bottled and ready to be drunk. This way, absence of refermentation allows a shorter brewing process.
