short for lager beer (1845), from German word Lagerbier which means "beer brewed for keeping" some months before being drunk,
Lagerbeir (German word)- from Lager "storehouse" + Bier "beer."

I believe the word means 'stored' in German, so it's stored beer!....may be wrong, sure someone will have more info!......

Is it not derived from the German verb lagern "to store"?

Lager is a derivation of a German word, lagern, originally meaning "to store." The original lager styles were the result of long-term storage in caves far beneath the ground.
