The name Gary means 'mighty spear' and I hear that there's both a Germanic and Celtic origen of the name.Garrett,Garth and Gareth are derivatives of the name. I suppose that being with all the people who lived before us and will live after us that a Saint Gary is probably out there............
As hops began to pervade breweries, however, this distinction between beer and ale no longer applied. Brewers began to differentiate between beer and ale on the basis of where the yeast fermented in the cask: ale uses yeast that gathers on the top, and lager uses yeast that ferments on the bottom.
So then what really distinguishes an ale from a lager? The difference is yeast. Not whether or not it's used, but the specific type. But from this relatively small variant comes a whole slew of changes and differences that make these two beers very unique. Ales - Ales are brewed with a top-fermenting yeast that thrives at mid-range room temperatures.
