Are all beers and ales fizzy?

I’m about as beer-savvy as a Temperance lady. I don’t know ale from beer or bock from lager; dark from light is about all I can distinguish. I drink an annual beer on the Fourth of July, and that’s about it. Wine’s my beverage of choice when it comes to alcohol.

But every once in a while I find myself meeting a friend for lunch in a brewery restaurant with a thousand beers on the menu.

I don’t feel like asking the server if they are all fizzy. I’d hate to have to call 911 because they were splitting themselves open with laughter.

But it would be nice to try something other than the one or two varieties I stick to. Just, you know, out of a sense of adventure. So if I know I’m safe because they’re all fizzy, I’ll be bold.
