[@silverado5306]

I am from Spain, specifically from the Galicia region, where Estrella Galicia beer is made. It's the beer I drink every day, and although I know there are better ones, I think it's a great beer. The size of the can is the usual one for canned drinks in Spain: 33cl instead of 50cl, that is, 11 fluid ounces instead of 16. Regarding the price, I don't know how much it will cost in the USA (tariffs, taxes, etc.), but in Spain, a pack of 16 cans costs about 12 euros, more or less about 13 dollars.

I'm sure someone has already commented on this, but "bottom fermented" means the use of a Lager yeast, as opposed to being "top fermented" which uses an Ale yeast. Bottom-fermented beers are fermented at a lower temperature than Top-fermented beers as well, which tends to leave a cleaner, crisper flavor and mouthfeel.

Also significantly lower methanol content that has to then be filtered out as methanol is very poisonous and even in relatively small doses can cause permanent blindness...

Here in Germany craft beer isn't considered 'real beer', a original beer here costs between 50cents and 1€ per half liter bottle at the supermarket. A Craft Beer costs between 1€ and 8€ per bottle. From each one you have a choice of around 20 different, while the original beer is 80% German and the other 20% are from other countries like Tschechia. American beer you can't find here...., no one sells Miller or 'american' Budweiser.... The craft beers are different. Half of them come from Germany, half from all over the world, mostly from Australia and New Zealand..... They've great taste, some like a bit Banana or Mango, but it doesn't taste like real beer. I prefer a nothern german style beer like Jever. Bit bitter, but really refreshing or a Radler, half beer half lemon-limonade... Younger people in Germany prefer beer mixed with coke, wheat beer mixed with bananajuice or mixed with a energy drink like Red Bull. If they have a day were they need to blackout they would drink Red Bull mixed with Vodka, or Whiskey-Coke and some Jäger shots ...

[@christianblanco5224]

As a beer experienced drinker, I have to say, Spain and France do not have any idea of how to brew, and beers are most all of them a fail (usually lagers, with a lack of flavour and, above all, personality). On a personal ranking, I would put in the third place Czech beers. A big standard jar is ridiculously cheap (almost cheaper than a bottle of water in a vending machine), and they are strong, intense and fantastic. On the second place, German-Austrian beers are excellent. The majority of them are brewed by monks (as it was originally done in the past) and they look like Czech beers but with a little bit more quality and taste. And then, above all of them (with a remarkable superiority), you have Belgian beers. Always trust monks, they know what they are doing. High prices but God, they are so intense and strong, and have around 8-8.5 % alcohol ok average. If you really know about beers, you have personality and experience, to drink a Belgian beer is like to make your debut for Real Madrid or Barcelona. These americans have no clue about European beers.

[@JZH10000]

If its "bottom fermented" its a lager and fermented and aged cold, if its "top fermented" its an ale, fermented at around room temp. This is why if you brewed some beer then split the bach and fermented one with a bottom fermenting yeast cold, and the other with a top fermenter, you would have made one half batch of lager and a half batch of ale, out of essentially the same ingredients.

I don't know how your alcohol taxes differ from ours but assuming they're the same that still leaves a $3 markup per 6-pack just from the fact it is imported from the UK. That's kind of crazy to me because most of the US beer, even the smaller craft beers, aren't significantly different in price to our domestic & European beers over here. Also, in the UK, Kronenbourg is pretty much a standard, mainstream beer.

Six packs where I live in the States are $12 or under. I agree with you on the rochefort.

@@aaronfalzerano9432 $12, $15. Not much of a difference. Depends on what the beer is as well. 6pk of a domestic macro beer vs a 6pk of an imported beer. If it is a hoppy beer or an imperial stout, they cost more to make, and should be more money vs something like a lager or wheat beer.

Yep, Stiegl is one of the better beers we have in Austria. I especially like their unfiltered beers. They have that nice sweet, but yet bitter hops taste to them. Gösser, Murauer and Hirter aren't bad either. There are many, many small breweries with exceptional beers (like Loncium) and there is the Viennese Classic: "das 16er Blech" - Ottakringer. It tastes like piss but has a certain vibe to it nonetheless.

As far as daily beers go I would give Stiegel solid 7/10. There are German, Czech and Slovak lagers I would chose over Stiegel without thinking twice with the obvious king being Pilsner Urquell but Stiegel is one of the better beers you can find in normal grocery store.

Bottom fermented means the yeast used forms from the bottom of the Vat and top fermented means a yeast that forms from the top....example for bottom fermenting beer yeast: Pilsener and german wheat beers are fermented with yeast that is top forming🤙

Innis and gunn cough ummmm nice one Scotland :) love it . Estrella drain cleaner . Trapp beer , good winter log fire sipping beer , why do you think the monks brew it ?? well it's simple to get revenge on people who swear and cuss lol . Sam Smith it's legitimate good brewed Ale another good winter beer , all the writing on the back of beers and some whisky its just unwanted flannel .

Estrella drain cleaner?? I guess you are mistaken with other Estrella, but not Galicia. It's much better than any beer I've drank in UK, and I've lived there...

[@fetterchinese24]

Bottom fermentation is done at lower temperatures, between 42 and 54 degrees Fahrenheit. Bottom fermenting yeast is often called lager yeast, as that's the most common type of beer that uses bottom fermentation. Bottom fermented lagers tend to be very crisp, with a cleaner taste.

[@matthieurochette]

The "Hell" one has nothing to do with hell, "hell" just means light (as opposed to dark) in german, so it generally designates a white/light blonde beer

[@simonlitten]

Interesting to see your reactions to the more traditional style British beers compared to the more similar to USA style mainland European styles. The Belgium and, to a lesser extent, Dutch styles can be an acquired taste i,e, I had to drink a dozen of these because some bugger left that many behind after a party (and waste not wat not).

[@christopherbataluk643]

The Estrella Damm is the more popular and better tasting beer that company makes. I greatly preferred it to the Galicia when I vacationed there.

[@pabloaradas9598]

They are not made by the same company. Estrella Galicia is the flagship of Hijos de Rivera , the company brews a lot of tipes of beer. Estrella Damm is a brand of Damm company.

Actually, 1664 is considered to be one of the worst beers in France with Kronenbourg and Heineken (and over all, all but craft). Good mainstream ones are Gallia and Asahi. With love from France to our Belgians fellow mate for keeping the level that high for decades and to Americans for the rebirth of the IPA!

Innis & Gunn was my favourite followed by Guinness when I used to drink.

Have not drank like that (all day long) for 13 years now and my last alcoholic beverage was 4 years ago. There are so many craft beers you should try more if you can, some are really nice. 🤙

[@cypress3595]

after watching this, i was pretty disapointed, that you don't inform yourself, befor you test. the following is just an example, copy paste from wikipedia and google translated with minimum effort: "Trappist beers should be stored at cellar temperature (12 to 14 °C) and not in the refrigerator, otherwise they will become cloudy. Temperature fluctuations and light have a negative effect on the taste. Before consumption, the beer should rest for at least eight days so that the suspended particles can settle. When pouring, you should be very careful to leave the sediment in the bottle; the yeast should not get into the glass. Trappist beer is served in a special bowl so that it can breathe and develop its full aroma."

Sam Smiths Taddy Porter is an epic ale, they also do an amazing IPA & a Nut Brown ale.
