Depends on how you define lager. According to the Bavarian Purity Law it's not even a real beer since it uses rice, much less a lager.

- rubashov 16y ago> Depends on how you define lager Bottom fermenting. Many grains are used in lager. Some even have maize in them.
- paulbaumgart 16y agoI think the most useful definition (since beer terms are so vague anyhow), is something like "beer made at a low primary fermentation temperature followed by a long, even colder secondary fermentation, aka 'lagering'". Limiting yourself to barley, wheat, and hops like modern German law does is too much prescription and not enough description.
