I know. But in general, both ales and lagers are beer. The differentiation has to do with how they're fermented (in the brewing process).
In the case where there's more than one kind of "beer" on tap--meaning, ales and lagers--wouldn't the UK beer drinker specify: I want a pint of bitter... or stout... or pale... or lager... etc?
