Most lager is matured or conditioned at a cold temperature, and is cool and [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brewing#Fermentation_methods']bottom fermented[/URL] with a [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saccharomyces_pastorianus']particular yeast[/URL]. The term lager means "storeroom" or "warehouse" in German. The beer originated in the Austrian Empire in the area that is now the Czech Republic. Throughout the medieval period, cold storage—or "lagering"—was common, in places such as caves, and bottom-fermenting yeast began being used in the early fifteenth century. As refrigeration became more prevalent, so did lager: it could be brewed year round and in more places, and could be kept cold until being served. In 1870, Spaten became the first brewery with large-scale refrigerated lagering tanks.[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT][/I] [COLOR=rgb(251, 160, 38)][I][FONT=verdana][SIZE=3]There are various types of lager. Pale lagers are the most common type of lager beers, and are usually light and mild. The brewing process for pale lagers developed in the mid nineteenth century when pale ale brewing techniques were applied to lagering methods. Some types of pale lagers are Helles, pilsner, Märzen, and bock. Pilsner is the most drank beer in the world today, and the first company to brew it was Pilsner Urquell. Vienna lager was developed in Vienna in 1841, and is reddish brown or copper colored, with a slight malt sweetness and a medium body. Today it is more popular in North America than it is in Europe, and a common example is Dos Equis Amber. Dark lager was the main lager made before the 1840s, and today it ranges in color depending on its region or brewing method. Examples include dunkel, which is the German word for "dark," and is between 4.5% and 6% alcohol by volume; doppelback, which is similar to dunkel but stronger; and schwarzbier, which is almost black, is similar to stout, and has a chocolate or liquorice tinged flavor.[/SIZE][/FONT][/I][/COLOR] [B][FONT=verdana][COLOR=rgb(243, 121, 52)][SIZE=7]SU News[/SIZE][/COLOR][/FONT] [URL="https://www.si.com/college/syracuse/recruiting/recruiting-weekend-preview-dec-10-12"]Syracuse Football Recruiting Weekend Preview: December 10-12[/URL] (SI; McAllister)[/B] [I]After hosting four players last weekend, Syracuse football will have more official visits on campus this weekend.

As the college sports landscape continues to evolve at breakneck pace with NIL, the transfer portal, coaching salaries on the brink of appearing on the Fortune 500 list and more realignment on the way, it’s nice to know you can count on certain things. The Syracuse-Georgetown rivalry is the basketball equivalent of a Christmas card, an analog throwback in a digital world. The historic series, currently owned by Syracuse 51-43, now includes the children of some of the original participants with Buddy and Jimmy Boeheim playing for Syracuse and Ryan Mutombo on the Hoyas’ roster. The games remain competitive. The Orange and Hoyas are deadlocked (3-3), and the largest margin of victory is 10 points since the two old rivals started playing again regularly in 2015. The more things change, the more some things need to stay the same. Syracuse and Georgetown crossing paths every season is on the short list of things that should carry on.

NCAA secretary-rules editor Steve Shaw sent an email blast to officials adding language to Rule 12-3-3 that deals with dead balls and loose balls. The interpretation told officials the ball will become dead if a ballcarrier "simulates or fakes as if he will begin a feet-first slide."

One of college football’s most prestigious awards, the Biletnikoff was awarded during Thursday night’s College Football Awards on ESPN. “It feels good. Usually I’m a cool, nonchalant guy, but I can’t even hide my emotions right now,” a grinning Addison told ESPN after he was named the winner. Addison leads the country with 17 receiving touchdowns and ranks third in the country – and first among Power Five receivers – in receiving yards with 1,479. The sophomore wide receiver has been a major part of the Panthers’ offense that is currently ranked as the third-best scoring offense in the country. The numbers Addison posted this season give him the second-best receiving season in Pitt history, behind only Larry Fitzgerald’s 2003 season. Addison spoke of the connection between he and quarterback Kenny Pickett. “The offseason, when I knew he was coming back, that’s all we did, we lived on that practice field,” Addison said. “And we showed it every Saturday.” Addison became the third Pitt player to win the Biletnikoff Award, joining Fitzgerald (2003) and Antonio Bryant (2000). Alabama and Oklahoma State receivers also have won the award three times. Both Addison and quarterback Kenny Pickett earned first-team All-American honors from the Walter Camp Football Foundation.

Others boast they are the “best” in town. At the legendary Arturo’s in Eastwood, they proudly proclaimed themselves to be purveyors of “decent” Italian food. And now, 28 years after Arturo’s Decent Italian Food closed, there’s a cookbook to showcase everything that made the place, well, ... OK. It’s called “Arturo’s ‘Decent’ Italian Cookbook,” of course. It includes recipes like the famous Bad Breath Bonanza, a dish of steamed clams and mussels “drenched in garlic butter sauce for an odor you cannot refuse.” There are also recipes for sauces and pasta, pizzas, sandwiches (or sangwidges) and even items that don’t seem so Italian, such as Sauerbraten, Beef Stroganoff and Shrimp Creole. [B](See some recipes below)[/B] The book is the project of Brian Belge, son of the late Art “Arturo” Belge, who ran the restaurant from 1958 to 1900 in Eastwood, and then from 1990 to 1993 in Mattydale.
