Absolutely on that 10/10. I drink that beer on a regular basis. I only drink beer from Europe. Some Czech and some from Poland but the vast majority is German. Huge thanks to Weihenstaphner for making such awesome pure beers. American beer sucks. Bud and Miller ruin everything they get their greedy hands on. I tried the gauntlet of craft beer and grew tired of paying $20 for someone’s gimmicks and stupid names for the beer. All I wanted was a really really well done beer and I found them in Europe.

The science behind pouring a wheat beer: 1. a special wheat glass must be used 2. rinse the glass with cold water before pouring 3. hold the glass at approx. 30 to 45 degrees to the bottom 4. pour the beer slowly and carefully into the glass 5. before the bottle is empty, turn it briefly between the palms of your hands 6. let the rest of the bottle flow into the glass from above 7. enjoy

disregard the previous. "Wheat" beer (weizen) is, traditionally, the first beer after the first harevest in late Spring - early Summer, when WHEAT is plentiful, and it's used. It is naturally cloudy, and if the yeast was any stronger it would double as a laxative.

it's Hefe-Weissbier. That means, there's yeast (Hefe) in it. It set down at the bottom. You always have to pour the entire can / bottle and shake up the last bit with the yeast on the bottom. You missed half of the experience by drinking it clear. Also, you're drinking export quality batches there. Paulaner Hefeweißbier is very average, export quality is below that. You really should get your hands on the real thing.

Hallo from Germany! You guys reacted so lovely! I also adore the generational aspect. Hefeweizen is poured in a particular way: the glass is held at as much of an angle as possible to delay the formation of foam for as long as possible. Before all the beer is in the glass, the bottle or even the can is swirled back and forth to loosen the yeast from the bottom. Then pour it into the glass together with the last of the beer.

greetings from Germany. The Hefe-Weizen is brewed at higher temperatures (about 15*C) and with top-fermented yeast. And you use wheat instead of barley, what makes it mich sweeter. The bitternes of the becks comes from a little more hop.

[@unwucht1529]

You did quite a good selection for this video, as you picked three totally different kinds of beers. Weihenstephaner Helles is a light (colored) beer, typically smooth in taste and quite süffig (drinkable). Paulaner Weißbier is a "white beer" or wheat beer which is brewed from different ingredients. There is two types of wheat beers, so called crystall wheat beer and yeast wheat beer and you most probably tasted the latter. This is also where the cloudy coloring of the beer comes from. Becks is a typical Northern German Pilsener beer which has a distinctive and characteristic bitterness. These three types cover the majority of beer types in Germany, although there are additional types like dark beer and smoky beer as well.

[@joergn.1800]

True, this are 3 totally different kinds of beer, regulary you cant compare them to each other. And, if its possible, you should get the beers in bottles. Especially the wheat beer, youve special beer glasses for it and you dont put it at once in such a glas. you shake/turn the last bit of the beer in the bottle and pour it then into the glas, to get the yeast from the bottom.

[@GTRPGeisterfahrer]

Hey guys! Here i have a little guidance/assistance for you, to find the right german beer for your next gulp party! "Helles" is a beer, which is typically not bitter, in contrast to the "Pilsner". „Helles“ is clear and brigh, „Pilsner“ is more golden, but also clear. Both have nothing to do with the next one here! „Helles Hefeweizen“ ( "bright yeast wheat"), in Bayern (Bavaria)„Weißbier“ ("white beer"), is cloudy and contains wheat instead of barley and is always cloudy. There are still "Dunkles Hefeweizen" and "Kristallweizen". Crystal wheat is filtered and thus a clear yellowish beer. Dark wheat beer is more malty than „Helles Hefeweizen“ and usually a little sweeter. There are other types of brewing, such as lager beer, which is also referred to as "special" or "export". Originally intended for export, it was more durable and slightly milder in taste. It is a little more bitter than "Helles" but not as bitter as "Pilsner". Then there are "Festbier", "Bockbier" and "Doppelbock". Festbier is brewed especially for folk festivals or similar occasions, for example the "Weihnachtsbier" at Christmas. It is more drinkable and usually has 5.5% alcohol or even more. Bockbier is even stronger and has over 6% alcohol, sometimes up to 7%. Doppelbock is a real hammer. It is also called "Starkbier" and has more than 7% alcohol, even up to 10%. It is often darker than normal Bockbier and also a little sweeter, similar to light and dark yeast wheat. In any case, the Doppelbock bangs coarse! But one thing at the end: For each beer of different types of brewing, there are different beer glasses. No one would drink a Doppelbock from a „Maßkrug“ 🍺 (1-liter jug), except perhaps the Bavarians and Franconians. Prost! Cheers! Zum Wohl! 🍻

[@dan_kay]

German Hefeweizen, or wheat beer, is known for its cloudy appearance due to the presence of yeast and proteins. Unlike many other beer styles that undergo filtration to remove these particles, Hefeweizen is intentionally left unfiltered. The yeast, along with proteins from the wheat malt, remains suspended in the beer, creating a hazy or cloudy look. This characteristic cloudiness is not a flaw but rather a defining feature of Hefeweizen. It contributes to the beer's unique flavor profile, imparting a refreshing and fruity taste. The yeast also adds a slight effervescence, making it a favorite among beer enthusiasts. So, in essence, the haziness of German Hefeweizen is a deliberate choice by brewers to enhance the beer's taste and mouthfeel. Becks is from the north of Germany and is known for its bitterness or tartness which is quite popular among the coastal people in the north.

yeah, to be honest they would be bound by their local supplier if they can get the beers in glass bottles. The "Helles" have a harder time , while the "Hefeweizen" for me doesn't degrade at all in a can and even makes it easy for novice drinkers, because the "Hefe" should be better mixed in a can. A good "Helles" or "Vollbier" will be drinkable out of the bottle, "Hefeweizen" should always be served in an appropriate glass.

Great selection of beers. The "Helles" is a very popular type of beer in southern Germany and Austria, it's also what is usually at the Oktoberfest (and similar events) in a "Maßkrug". (A "Maßkrug" will fit two of those cans) It has a mild flavor and is therefore considered as the smallest common denominator be some. Depending on the brewery the flavor profile can vary from complex or simple. If you mix equal parts of "Helles" and Sprite (or similar) you'll get what we call a "Radler". It's great on a hot summer day. The second one is a type called "Weizen" or sometimes "Weißbier" and mostly popular in southern Germany. Its made from wheat instead of barley which gives it a very unique flavor. Unlike most other beers the yeast is not removed after brewing, which gives it that cloudy look and also contributes to the taste. On special occasion people will drink it alongside their "Weißwurstfrühstück" for breakfast. It consists of fatty, mild boiled sausages that are eaten with sweet mustard and fresh pretzels from a bakery on the side. Fun Fact: The "Weizen" ist actually the reason the "Reinheitsgebot" was invented. When it was invented in the middle ages the idea was that people shouldn't waste ht valuable wheat on beer and instead should only use the cheaper barley. So with the "Reinheitsgebot" the ingredients for beer were limited to water, yeast, barley and hops. It's not legally binding anymore, so "Weizen" can be sold as beer, but you can't its brewed according to the "Reinheitsgebot". Which is still a marketing term many brewers like to use for their other beers. The (green) "Beck's" is brewed in the style of a "Pils" or "Pilsener". From what I was told most beers in the US are "Pilsner" or brewed very similar. It's typically made with a more hops than other beers, which gives it that bitter flavor. The three beers are all from industrial size breweries. They are definitely not bad, but if you'd ask a German they would likely describe it as "nothing special". The micro brewery trend has never caught on in Germany, because we have had something similar way before that. Pretty much everywhere you are in Germany there will be a couple of small to medium sized breweries, they usually only supply supermarkets in a 10-30 mile radius. If you'd ask any German what their favorite beer is, their answer would likely be a beer from one of their local breweries. If you can, try one of these. They often have a more complex flavor and generally higher quality. The best thing is the beers from these small breweries cost about the same as the beers from the bigger brands. It's pretty much the same for Austria as well. Many small breweries with affordable, high quality beer.

Mittlerweile bekommt man auch in Berlin in jedem Spätkauf Augustiner, Bayreuther etc. Zum Glück. Am Anfang war das echt ein Problem und das was Hellem am nächsten kam war Sternburger Export... Wenn man in der Kneipe Fassbier bestellt, bekommt man meist immer noch Pilsener in 0,5 Liter Gläsern... Das werde ich nie verstehen. Nach 2,5 Liter Pils und ein paar Zigaretten hab ich ein heftigeres Pappmaul als wie nach 5 Bongköpfen. Helles hat definitiv seine Daseinsberechtigung, ist in der Kneipenkultur, außerhalb von Bayern, jedoch noch stark unterrepräsentiert. Alles in allem merkt man stark, dass du in Bayern lebst und auch wenn bayrische Kulinarik das ist, was meistens in anderen Ländern mit deutscher Ess- und Trinkkultur asoziiert wird solltest du nicht vergessen, dass nördlich vom Weißwurstäquator nieman Weißwurstfrühstück macht und es denn meisten Leuten ziemlich auf den Keks geht, dass im Ausland gedacht wird Deutsch = Bayrisch... Und ich kenne die Begründung des Reinheitsgebots auch so, dass die Leute früher alle möglichen Nachtschattengewächse wie Bilsenkraut, Tollkirsche etc. ins Bier gepanscht haben und die Leute reihenweise abgedreht sind. Hat auch mit Agrarwirtschaft und Steuern zu tun, aber grundsätzlich kann man das Reinheitsgebot als erstes Lebensmittelgesetz sehen, das heute bei allen Konsumwaren gilt, insbesondere bei Medikamenten. Du bekommst was drauf steht und nicht weniger oder zusätzlich dazu irgendeinen Blödsinn denn man nicht haben will.

[@Metatr0n]

Ein paar Anmerkungen zu deiner Ausführung: 1. Der Style des BJCP 10A Weissbier, 10B Dunkles Weissbier und 10C Weizenbock hat sowohl von der BJCP, als auch vom Bayrischen Reinheitsgebot die Vorgabe aus mindestens 50% Weizenmalz eingemaischt worden zu sein. 100% Weizenmalz in der Schüttung wird keine Brauerei mitmachen, da Weizenmalz keine gute Diastatik hat und sich die Maische fast nicht läutern lässt und eine große Brauerei damit fast 0% Prozesssicherheit hat. Des Weiteren wird Weizenbier traditionell durch Flaschengärung karbonisiert, das bedeutet das fertig endvergorene Bier wird mit einer kleinen Portion Zucker in die Flasche gefüllt und verschlossen. Die kleine Zuckerportion (Bei Weizen ca. 6-10g/l) sorgt dafür, dass die noch im Bier vorhandene, lebende Hefe wieder aktiv wird und den Zucker in Ethanol und CO2 umwandelt. Das entstehende CO2 kann dadurch, dass die Flasche verschlossen ist nicht entweichen, was den Flaschendruck erhöht und das CO2 zwingt in Lösung zu verbleiben. So entsteht auch nach Vergärung des verbleibenden Karbonisierungszuckers der kleine Hefeteppich am Flaschenboden. Andere Biere werden zwangskarbonisiert und mit Gegendruckabfüllung in die Flasche gebracht, was eine Nachgärung überflüssig macht. 2. Das Reinheitsgebot existiert erst seit 1918, alles was es davor gab waren "Brauverordnungen" und insbesondere die Brauverordnung von der du sprichst, im Zusammenhang mit Weizenbier hat nichts mit Qualität, oder Verschwendung von Weizen zu tun. Es war viel mehr der erste Fall von Monopolisierung durch Vetternwirtschaft bei Bier. Albrecht V, Sohn von Wilhelm IV, nutzte die Brauverordnung um allen das Brauen mit Weizen zu verbieten, mit Ausnahme der Adelsfamilie Degenberg. Somit lag die Produktion und der gesamte Gewinn im Weizenbier-Markt in der Hand einer einzigen Familie und das mit dem besten Segen des Herzogs. 3. Die meißten in den USA industriell hergestellten Biere sind BJCP 1A American Light Lager und 1B American Lager und haben im Grunde nichts mit einem 5D German Pilsner zu tun. 4. Der Mikro- und Kleinbrauerei Trend ist in Deutschland so stark wie nie zuvor. Während alteingesessene Industrieproduzenten um ihren Gewinn bangen, haben in den letzten 5 Jahren so viele umsatzstarke Mikrobrauereien aufgemacht wie noch nie zuvor.

As a Munich resident I know all of these beers well. Two things to consider when sampling: 1) Those are export beers so they will not taste as good as the beer brewed for German residents in Germany. The main difference is that Germany does not allow the beer made for the local market to have any preservatives in it. AS export beers require a longer shelf life, the beers made for export will have added preservatives in them. 2) A German would not pour beer into a glass that has water still in it. Get a towel and dry out those glasses before filling them with beer.

[@TheMrHankypanky]

Weizen is pretty much completely different from pils or lager, it uses a different kind of yeast and a different type of grain (Weizen or wheat instead of Gerste or barley) - or at least as different as the German Reinheitsgebot/purity law allows. There are a lot of different yeasts, but there are two major categories. One rises (obergärig - roughly translated: top-fermenting), one drops down to the bottom (untergärig, bottom-fermenting). Traditional beers - like Weizen or "White-Beer", as it's also called, often used obergärige Hefe (top-fermenting yeast) in the somewhat distant past, because it likes somewhat higher temperatures and didn't need to be cooled (as much). Which was a bit harder in the past, having no electrical refrigeration. For bottom fermenting beers, you had to have cool cellars. And winter, preferably. This is why "Weizen" is both a top-fermenting beer and a traditional summer drink - because you could also brew and enjoy it when it was warmer. There are some other traditional beers that were bottom fermenting, but those often had to be brewed during the winter, because it would go bad otherwise. Märzen (from März, as in the month march) had to be brewed in (or rather before) März (march), hence its name. It's the traditional Octoberfest-beer. Compared to the "Helles" (pale lager, Bavarian edition; which is also bottom-fermenting) it's a little more thicc, more malty, a little more potent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4rzen Another traditional "obergäriges Bier" or top-fermenting beer is Kölsch btw. And it also tastes a lot different as pilseners/lagers do. Of course, that all doesn't apply anymore, and you can get either type of beers whenever you like today. And of course there are regional differences. Bavaria - right in the south - being kind of the capital of "Weizen" (and Märzen, but so are some surrounding countries like Austria/Czech Republic, maybe more so today) while the north has more pilseners and stuff - but that also might be because of temperature and traditions. Btw. Can you smell banana when sniffing a Weizen? I almost always do - which seems weird. But you can actually drink your Weizen with Bananas, it's somewhat common in Germany. And it does taste pretty good. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2bPiqqXjtCbhac The different yeasts also "eat" or convert different sugars and stuff, so a different yeast can make your beer taste quite different. It might affect the sourness, but I suspect some of the Paulaners "citrusy" comes from the type of hops they used. There are some kinds that taste a bit like citrus (other ones are bitter or tardy, some fresh, some flowery - there are lots of different types/strains). A somewhat known US strain is actually named for that: www.hopslist.com/hops/dual-purpose-hops/citra/ (though German brewers tend to call it "jack-of-all-trades, master of none")' Prost!

greetings from germany, i really enjoyed the video. just some remarks: 1. good choice, you hit the three main types of beer. becks is called pils or pilsener. it is a very typical beer in the north of germany and mostly on the more bitter side. helles is typical for the southern part and on a steep uprise in consumption allover germany. those are sweeter and „süffig“ (easily drinkable). weizen or also called weißbier (white beer) is a specific type of brewing technique. it has a lot of calories and makes hungry more than the other ones so you start eating salty and fatty foods. so be aware it makes you gain some pounds… 😉 2. weizen has a very polarizing type of taste. i do not like it but people who enjoy it usually do only drink this type of beer. 3. try to get some „bock bier“. alcohol gets up to 7 or 8 % and those beers do have a very wide range of tastes. some are more citrus / peach like flavours and some taste more like dark chocolate / plums. best ones are made in a brewery in the small city of einbeck, called „einbecker“. you should definitely try to get your hands on that stuff they are just awesome. cheers and PROST! 😀

[@ignatiustremor]

Very good points there! I think this info was missing from the video and is definitely worth adding, cause it makes comparing the beers kinda hard. Tasting three different Pils' against each other would have been a different story ...

[@hunter81179]

well, pils differs a lot, i think. if you compare jever to krombacher it is a completely different taste. usually beer in green bottlea is more hoppy (is that the word?) and beer in brown bottles is more malty. people who like helles usually tend to malty pils in brown bottles. it is less bitter. nevertheless the „green bottle beers“ are very suitable for hot summer barbecues. i highly recommend „einbecker brauherren pils“. it has a very fine hop-taste with some light lemon flavour. even more lemonish is „einbecker hanse bock“ that beer is absolutely worth trying! unfortunately it is very hard to get even in the region. in the winter i recommend „einbecker winter bock“ and beer in brown bottles in general. if i‘d make a beer tasting winter bock and hanse bock would definitely be on the list. maybe you try those?

When I was in the USA I was amazed that you guys actually had some German beers available. Sadly (at least for my opinion), it was only the big brands that are mostly drank at festivals because they’re the only option available. Smaller local breweries make much better beer, but often times are not available farther away. On top of that, the beers vastly differ in every region. Guess you’ll probably need to take a few months and tour Germany to get a fair taste 😉

It seems that Americans first tried real beer, and not the water they usually call beer. I tried American Bud a couple of times, and it seemed to me that someone took regular lager and diluted it with water in a ratio of 1 to 3. That's why it was even more surprising for me to learn that they came up with Bud Light. What's the point? Water that tastes like water?

Greetings from Upper Franconia (in the north of Bavaria). Nice to see you testing German beer. The first beer ("ein Helles") is, in my opinion, a tasty, mild beer. With the second beer ("Hefeweizen") it is important to stir up the "Hefe" that has settled at the bottom of the can (or bottle) a bit at the end. With the third beer (I suspect it is brewed in the style of a "Pils") it is actually the case that beers from the north of Germany are a bit bitter. A little tip: depending on the type of beer, there are different beer glasses that we use. - Anyway, it was very nice to see the video. Keep it up! Stay healthy! Greetings from Germany!

Some background on the beers you drank. The first one, Weihenstephaner Helles is what they call a Märzen, after the month March. Back in the middle ages brewers in Bavaria weren't allowed to fire their wood burning kettles during summer in the cities because of the fire hazard. So they brewed a lot of filtered, bottom fermenting beer in March that they could keep during the summer in the beer cellar underneath the beergardens, then in September start brewing again, open the doors to the beer cellar to raise the temperature and let the leftover Märzen become a nice strong beer ready for a certain party in October. The second, Paulaner Hefe Weizen is a traditional Bavarian unfiltered, top fermenting wheat beer. The wheat apposed to barley gives it it's cirtus note. The yeast gives the beer it's solid body and almost gives you the feeling of having had a sandwich after finishing your beer. The Hefeweizen is probably one of the most recognizable traditional Bavarian beer styles. Märzen is for sure traditional, but most areas in Europe will have similar lager style beers, the Hefeweizen is considered it's own category in the beer world, with for example a Kristalweizen (filtered) part of that category. Becks is just an export German Pilsner, so a lager, hopped, filtered. Refreshing beer, but not much special, a Heineken or so, brewed for the global market that is gonna be ok everywhere. If you want to try a good German style pilsner, see if you can get Trumer pils. It's Austrian, but wins the beer worldcup consistently in that category.

[@ralf-peterberg1083]

Wooow, you’re really an expert- a big “Danke” for bringing the quality and culture into the discussion. But - why did they choose Paulaner? It’s one of the most crappy stuff … ? Outside of Munich they’re flushing the loo with it :-) I could have recommended a couple of way better beers which are even available in the US (ok, pricy, I agree, but available:-))

[@martinheinz160]

Sorry, but a "Helles" ist just a Helles, not a Märzen. Maybe you confused this with "Festbier" (Like what they serve atOktoberfest, which is often a Märzen or at least has it origins from Märzen)

[@haribo836]

@@martinheinz160 Technically you're correct, as in a "Helles" is not a beer style, it's a colour, similar to "blond" in English. So a blond wheat bear or a pilsner can be called a "Helles" as well. In my experience however, if people want a "Helles" in most cases they want a Märzen.

[@haribo836]

@@ralf-peterberg1083 Thank you. It's exactly the culture and history of beers that moved me to make my profession of beers. As for the choice of Paulaner, I think they didn't have a lot of choice. Especially unfiltered beers are quite risky to transport over huge distances, as the yeast inside can react badly to big air pressure and temperature changes. That plus that the US health and safety laws for a long time didn't even allow "living" beers to be imported, so a lot of companies simply don't have their networks set up, and by the time the borders went open, the micro brew scenery started to develop and saturated the market.

[@martinheinz160]

@@haribo836 I have to admit that you realy confused me with your answer, where do you get a Märzen when you order a Helles? Might it be, that you are from Austria? Your Märzen is like the German Helles, but the German Märzen different from that (I recommend the Swabian ones, region around Ulm has some good ones). Helles has his Origins from märzen, but is certainly established as "Münchner Helles Lager Style" as its own beer Style.

Paulaner has been available from Aldi here in Australia a couple of times each year. For around the 'October Fest' time they had both bottles and these 500mL cans of HefeWeizen, but a bit earlier in the year had also ' Kristal Weizen' with 0% alcohol. Kristal = Crystal is for a filtered clear version of the Wheat beer. I find it is best as a cool drink, refreshment for those really hit summer days 30°C to 40°C, so up to over 100°F. At 0% also quantity to drink is safe, as no ways do you get drunk, can consume it on hot days and still be safe driving. At other times thecakcoholic versions go well with afternoon barbeques. Presuming no driving later, as with 5% and up alcohol it is not too big volume to put you in trouble for DUI. especially as 0.5L or even 1L are typical glass volumes. Both the Hefe (Yeast) version and the Kristal(Crystal) clear types are good, but as pure refreshment I like the clear over the cloudy versions. To me wheat beer is my preffered type for pure refreshment, other times I prefer "Pils" beers, but I steer clear of the like of 'Becks', of course you have little choice, needing to get what limited types you can get in US retail. I currently have 4 bottles and 8 cans of the Paulaner HefeWeizen and also 6 bottles 0% Kristal Weizen for our summer, sadly so far we have few days into high 30°C range, so not had much yet, just keeping some cold and ready. In Germany about any village has own brewery, so there are hundreds of brands, and each part of Germany will have own major brands. Depending where you are will determine what major brands are most common. There are also many styles of beer, including some rather great special beers, including some like BOCK and DOUBLE BOCK, the latter being a stronger alcohol version of BOCK, with from memory well over 20% alcohol. BOCK is a thicker dark Meade like beer. Originally invented by monks for "Lent" fasting, where eating is forbidden but drinking allowed. On the rich BOCK beer they typically gained weight during the Lent fasting. Beer flavours do vary. The one feature throughout Germany, only the basic 4 ingredients are allowed, a about 400 year old fixed rule. NO FUNNY ADDITIVES, bittering agents colour, stabilisers, preservatives, no chemical additives period. Nothing but pure water, hops, yeast, and relevant grain

You had 3 different styles of German beer in your test. The first one (Weihenstephaner) was a so called "Helles", the second one (Paulaner) was a "Weizen" or "Weissbier" and then last one (Becks) was a "Pils". Depending on the area in Germany those types are more or less popular. In Munich, Bavaria or more general, in the south of Germany you mostly have Weissbier and Helles. In the northern area Pils is more popular. Since I almost only drink Helles, I can only give you a recommendation for that type.

I admit to be a bit amused at hearing 5% beer being called strong. In Europe I think that's pretty much the baseline. Most "regular" beers are in the 5-5.5 range, but you can easily get 7%. Some speciality beers go into the teens. Strongest one I've had was 14%, but they can go even higher.

Usually we fill the glas completely and build a crown of foam. It works at best with bottles. Therefore we put the glas over the bottle and turn the upside down in an angle of 45* and lift it up in way that the flowing is controlled by the surface of the beer. This produces some foam inside the bottle which can be poured out after a short time of waiting. So drinking Weizenbier includes a kind of ceremony.

[@JnB-fb3gv]

Maybe another fact: In Germany there are two places, where you can study Brewing and get an Masters degreee. The most famous place is the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The campus of the Brewing-students is located north of Munich at Freising. But everyone calls it „Weihenstephan“ ;)

[@TheVanclif]

As German waiter I have to say something: You keep a rest of a Hefeweizen in the bottle/can and carefully shake it, before you pour it in the glas, so you shake up the yeast on the bottom and get it into the glas. If you like strong beer you should try Jever. For German beer there is a simple rule of thump. As more northern the brewery is, as stronger / more bitter the beer is. And Jever comes fropm the north sea coast ;) And only 4.9% alcohol XD We also have "Starkbier" here. Strong beer: normally 5 or more % A Bockbier or Doppelbock for example.

Prost from Germany, Like this Video a lot Lot, and even your Joy and Happiness during the Test, you picked different Beer types, we even have different Beerglasses for Different Beers , the Glasses you have is the Glass for Weizen Beer like the Paulaner Hefe Weizen, you can get Weizenbier in Clear or not clear, and if you put it into the Beerglass is better to make it slower and more vertical, that you dont have so much foam , and for the case you have a nonclear Weizen you have to shake the bottle at the end roundwise during the Process, so all the material in bottle comes out in the glass. hope you continue to bring parts of our wonderfull Culture to the world, for making it a better place, with a Prost Cheers Buddys

[@johnfitzgerald5158]

Pro tip: If you are pouring hefeweizen, pour the entire contents except for a little bit left in the bottom. Swirl the can/bottle (I normally buy it in bottles) to stir up the sediment, and quickly pour the remainder into the glass and let drip for a few seconds. The sediment settles in the bottom of the bottle, and this is how to get all that goodness in your glass. It also looks cool as it starts settling in the glass. Paulaner is one of my faves. Try Hacker-Pschorr.

Great tip, thanks a lot 🎉😎

[@Sil3nt3agl3]

Greetings from Germany! The first two (Weinstephan and Paulaner) come from Bavaria in southern Germany and Becks comes from Bremen in northern Germany. The more southern you go, the smoother the taste gets. There's many different types of beer in Germany. You've got 3 different types ( helles, weizen and pilsener) but outside of Bavaria pilsener or pils is the most common type. Here in North Rhine-Westphalia we have a few common pilseners like Bittburger (my favourite pils), Veltins and Krombacher which are most popular. Some others are Warsteiner, Flensburger, König-Pilsener, Fiege, Feldschlösschen and Hasseröder. These are just examples but in my experience these are the most common here in NRW. Some of the i'd recommend but trying them all is definetely worth it. If you want to compare german pilseners, you probably should start with Bittburger, Veltins and Krombacher. Prost! Fun Fact: You all said they were pretty strong but here in Germany these are completely average. You can buy these at age 16 and above. If you think these are strong, try german Starkbier which trantslates to strong-beer which should be rudebeer (but i'm not certain on that one). Happy tasting!

[@Sil3nt3agl3]

Addition: If you get your next Weizen or Hefeweizen, hold it upside down and swing the can a few times in a horizontal circle. The "Hefe" from the Hefeweizen sinks to the bottom and for the full taste experience you have to mix it back in. Just a friendly advice.

[@lakriek3507]

Dein Lieblingsbier ist Bitburger? Puh……

[@burnedcash]

If Bitburger is your favourite pils you still have a looong way to go :D

[@KTownMaster]

German here (like most in the comments..): You need to know some details about the german beer ;) Usually the beer flavours differ from region to region. The "smooth" beer is often found in the south-eastern parts of Germany (Swabian and Bavaria), the farther north you go the more bitter hops is used. Thats why Becks (a very very famous beer in Germany) is more bitter than the other ones. There are many more types of german beer like Kölsch and Schwarzbier, Pils and Märzen which differ extremely in taste. I personally like the bitter northern beers more than the smooth and creamy southern ones. I really like to taste beers around the world and I have to say, the best part about being home again is: The beer is really cheap compared to literally every other part of the world. The beers you tried cost about 80ct per 0,5l and can even go cheaper if you buy a Kasten (plastic Box of 20 bottles).

[@romanbecker6711]

Becks is a Pilsener, a Pilsener has a bitterness

[@MeTjube]

Yes, that should be compared to Pilsener from Czech Republic or Zlatý Bažant from Slovakia. I recommend a blind test :)

[@torazoul]

@@MeTjube Pilsener is a bavarian beer created for Pilsen by a bavarian brewer from Vilshofen. It's not a czech beer.

[@MeTjube]

@@torazoul I ment Pilsner Urquell obviously, sorry for typo.

[@torazoul]

@@MeTjube Pilsner Urquell is actually the first beer brewed with the Pilsner recipe which was created by the bavarian master brewer Joseph Groll from the bavarian town of Vilshofen. He and his family led the brewery until as late of 1902. The last Groll to lead the czech brewery was Johann Groll. All master brewers after his passing were czech and kept the traditional recipe faithfully until this day. A true piece of brewing history, a masterpiece and most importantly - a delicious beer.

As a German, I really enjoyed your video. Many thanks for it! You've found a good mix of beer types. In my opinion, drinking the Becks last was not so good, as it then seems even more bitter after the milder beers. I was pleased that the three of you have different ideas of what a beer should taste like. I would be delighted to see more tasting videos. Greetings from Germany!

[@nexxxon2913]

The thing about Becks is, I'm pretty sure the American version is different from the German one, as is usual for many products that are manufactured in different countries. Beer produced in Germany has to fall under the regulations of the "Reinheitsgebot", which sets a beer brewing standard in Germany. My advice for the authentic German beer experience, import the beer straight from Germany!

[@Princess_Slimeball]

Das reinheitsgebot ist mittlerweile leider eher nur noch sowas wie ein Marketing Gag.. :D

[@TectorThe]

@@Princess_Slimeball Wieso das bitte? Soweit ich weiß zählt das Reinheitsgebot nach wie vor. Die meisten Brauereien benutzen nicht mal Säure oder Lauge um den pH-Wert anzupassen. Wie kommst du drauf? Weil man vermehrt zu Hopfenextrakt bzw. Pellets greift? Das verstößt nicht zwangsläufig gegen das Reinheitsgebot.

[@mag_num013]

@@Princess_Slimeballdas ist absolut kein Marketing gag das Reinheitsgebot ist gesetzlich geregelt und wird besonders bei den Bayern verdammt ernst genommen. Aber auch die Tschechen müssten das noch in ihrer gesetzlichen Definition von bier haben

[@Princess_Slimeball]

@@TectorThe Das Reinheitsgebot regelt soweit ich weiß nur welche Zutaten beim Brauen verwendet werden dürfen. Zum Brauen von Bier nach dem Reinheitsgebot dürfen nur Wasser, Malz, Hopfen und Hefe verwendet werden. Es regelt aber nicht wie sie erzeugt wurden. Also kann die Gerste oder der Hopfen zum beispiel mit Pestiziden behandelt worden sein, und noch Rückstände davon enthalten.

[@Princess_Slimeball]

ja mag sein, aber die meisten Brauereien scheren sich nicht mehr so "Liebevoll" darum wie vielleicht früher mal. Hauptsache das Bier entspricht den mindesten Vorraussetzungen, damit sie das Reinheitsgebot auf die Dose/Flasche hauen können denn nur so dürfen sie es als "Bier" verkaufen. Massenproduktion halt Nicht falsch verstehen, aber ich denke mal das es den meisten Brauereien damals einfach wertvoller war als heute. Vorallem die alten Brauereien.

I'm originally from Berlin, have lived in many places in Germany and other countries (now living in the Hunsrück Hills in the western part of Germany, near former Hahn AB). A few years ago my company sent me to work in Nuremberg for a few years. Thefe I discovered Frankonian beers. The supermarkets had an incredible choice of beers. Frankonia is the region in Germany with the highest density of small breweries, practically each small town has at least one. Plus they also had a variety of Bavarian and Czech beers. I tried to taste them all while I was there.

Becks is a Pilsner beer, it is brewed with more hops and less malt, Becks is a beer that is also drunk in the tropics and on ships. Hops make beer last longer. It's far from the bitterest pilsner. It's a beer from the north, for rough men.

5% alcohol is pretty much standard in Europe. La Chouffe and Gulpener Korenwolf are some other white beers I highly recommend For something special you should check out some doubles and triples from for example Grimbergen or Karmeliet. And if you're up for something really strong, we have beers like Hertog Jan Grand Prestige and Gulpener Glatiator at 10% or Grolsch Kanon at 11.6. (I don't like those myself that much, but they are an experience to try once if you only know regular pilsner. If you wish to stick to regular pilsner though, the regular Hertog Jan is a great one.)
