Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

In fact, there are several strains of Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which most often refer to yeasts used in Ales. I would guess that Saccharomyces carlsbergenis (or uvarum, as many like to call it) was actually used in this beer. This is where brew language and common tongue don't seem to match up. I don't know this for a fact, but this is the more common lager variety of yeast.

Cerveza is to lager as band-aid is to adhesive strips, so I think it has taken on its own nuance. I guess it is.
