Actually the difference between an Ale and Lager is the yeast.

I was commenting on the differences between ales and stouts (which do use the same types of yeast).

"Well let's set the record straight, and yes there was a hint above. I will start by defining what defines ales and lagers. Well... drum roll please..... it is the yeast and the fermentation temperature. It is as simple as that. Oh..., you want more!" A quote from this website by a guy who teaches brewing at UNLV
