May 13, 2015 at 15:28 comment added greggle138 Its worth noting also that lagers brew at colder temperatures than ales and thus a brewery needs to spend more to keep them at the proper temperature. Also, if you are a small brewery the number of brewing tanks is a major constraint on your production. You can output much more beer if it doesn't need to be in the tanks as long, making ales easier for small breweries to produce.
