This says a lot. Go into my local Tesco and see the special offers on beer. Three boxes of beer for the price of two etc. Always the top brands which usually means beers originally from somewhere in Europe but brewed, to an inferior quality, in the UK! Go into Lidl, buy a beer that i haven’t heard of, brewed in Germany, can’t ever remember being disappointed.

[@Ojthemighty]

The germans certainly know how to make a pint. Ima visit lidl tomorrow then, ive tried some of the aldi beers and im not impressed, only found one that was actually rather good.

[@trinitywildcat]

Depends. Real ale is better in Tesco - more choice. Lidl Aldi better for crap lagers

[@murrayturner1278]

Check the label where made, some Lidl beers with German sounding names are brewed in France.

[@motr1912]

Anyone know what happened to the Steinhauser lager in Aldi? Can't seem to get it anymore and is my German brewed beer sold here. Even my local Aldi staff don't know why it's disappeared.

[@Ojthemighty]

@@murrayturner1278 lol those dirty rotten frogs

[@PAUL-hi8gw]

just bought a keg, please note its stocked in the specials section of the store not the beer section

[@MadMarchTaffy]

Sold out locally to me

[@mjudec]

What good luck to see this video today. I got a keg for 10 euros this week and it's in my fridge ready for the euros party this evening. Took a bit of a punt and expected crap beer, but with a reduction in can/bottle clear up post party. Now I'm quite excited to try it.

[@salters]

Excellent..Got myself one tonight for £14.99 in Edinburgh..Thanks for the heads-up

[@ciderads]

Thanks for the tip off on this Simon. Picked up some Festbier in cans (checked, and there was no real cost per litre difference between the cans and the keg) and also some of their wheat beer, which I’m now enjoying in front of the footy!

[@ciderads]

Just to add to this, they really are fantastic beers. It takes a lot of will power not to clear the whole shelf whenever they’re available!

[@nox5555]

@@ciderads try the mixed one with grapefruit if they have it. Its super refreshing and just a steal-

[@D0csavage1]

I got a few kegs from Lidl before £11 they were before the lockdown, two days of amazing thirst quenching beer. They inspired me to start homebrewing.

[@Behwyelzebub]

@DOcsavage1, It inspired me to pack it in.

[@jarraandyftm]

Just got back to UK, can’t believe my wife has missed this in Lidl while I’ve been away!! Gutted. Loved the cans.

[@simondlatham5939]

£14.99 is a good price for an excellent beer, however, when you consider that the 500ml can is also available now @ £1.49, you have to decide whether the keg is worth all the faffing about, or, if just buying 10 cans is easier

[@colinjames5643]

Yeah I went to get one then realised the cans were the same price per litre. Not sure you gain anything in terms of flavour from the mini keg so for me it's not worth bothering.

[@kiddcapri1711]

​@@colinjames5643you also have to drink it all within a few days. Where as cans' you can take your time.

[@Bluearmy76]

For an occasional event/bbq with mates then maybe. Otherwise with no price saving it’s probably not really worth it/the hassle. Nice beer tho 🍺

[@leesmith4795]

Needed to price the keg a couple of quid cheaper to get me to buy one, just my opinion😉

[@garysmith5025]

The kegs can be turned into mini barbeques if you're at all handy.

[@rojalesgary7355]

Hola mate, saw this very same keg in Lidl today at their store in Ciudad Quesada in Spain 🇪🇸 for €9.99 (£8.69) 🥳 Let battle commence 😳😵‍💫😆🤣

[@igotes]

Thanks for the tip, I went straight to Lidl after work. There were several kegs left, but I got 10 cans plus a few bottles of Späten instead. Might pick up a keg tomorrow if there are any left.

[@tomwilliams7391]

These kegs in Lidl are incredible, the proper abv for a premier beer as well 5.5% ABV They should stock them as part of the core range, they have room in the stores, particularly the newer larger stores Strangely although a trip to the pub costs more, I agree, putting that extra £15 on the food shop psychologically feels more....but it's worth it and actually works out much cheaper that a pub...

[@mymic208]

Majestic wine are doing Paulaner Helles 5L kegs for £18, I bought three :D

[@xl447]

I've got a Beerwulf Blade, she's been off for a while as kegs increase in price. This fridge keg is a great offering and it's greatly to know what deals are around from our beer community. Cheers

[@paulw6183]

​@xl447 Aldi are doing 5l kegs of Czech budweiser for around £16 I believe, not a bad deal

[@f19ash]

Can confirm this lager is fantastic! Absolutely my new favourite. So smooth for a 5.5% lager but the trouble is it’s incredibly moorish! So glad I saw this video 👍👌🍻

[@Yannerson]

I was just in Lidl and thought about getting the keg but ended up sticking to the bottles instead. I really like the big head though, reminds me of Oktoberfest steins. It’s a cracking drink, and the price is *chefs kiss*.

[@thenovello-pugh]

Great review, Si. Bought two cans of this drink on Sunday afternoon. Went back today (Tuesday) to buy all the stock they had left. It's REALLY good - please Lidl make it a regular on your shelves.

[@PrimedSnake]

Been to a few lidl in Scotland trying to get some and found 1 with very few kegs left! Cmon Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿💙

[@nigelwatson2750]

Probably the same stuff as the Fest beer they used to sell in 50Cl tins. Woops, you just said that. I always thought it tasted like a dark lager. It was 5.5% ABV if I remember rightly.

[@NeilusNihilus]

They sell those cans for £1.49 so works out exactly the same price per litre. But with this you have the novelty of having a keg I guess.

[@windjammer97]

Perlenbacher outta lidl is a spot on beer. Haven't tried the Festbeir version, but can't imagine being disappointed. Thanks for the upload

[@steveshere89]

I'm usually a fine English ale drinker but tried Festbier a few years ago and now, whenever I see it in Lidl's, I pick some up. A truly superb beer.

[@neilmccrudden]

After watching this video and the Budvar one, I thought I'd try Lidl and low and behold I managed to buy this mini keg today for 15 quid..... Happy days.... Got friends over on Saturday for oizzas... Really looking forward to this... Thanks mate for the suggestion... :-)

[@carolinemcdonald6289]

😂 even the cats interested 😂! Hilarious! Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪. Saw these in my local Lidl , definitely will get one now

[@chuckbassification]

Came back to comment saying I got one off your rec and it's bloody delicious. Lidl not a local to me but got the last one, travelling down the country tomorrow for work and going to try 3 on the way to see how many I can get. Delicious beer thanks for the review!

[@arnebollsen]

👍😁,..Perlenbacher Festbier is brewed in the Frankenthaler brewery germany ,he owner of Frankenthaler Brauhaus GmbH is the Eichbaum brewery in Mannheim. Eichbaum was already in charge at the former Frankenthaler Brauhaus AG. At the end of 1995, when the entire brewing company was in a difficult economic situation, the Frankenthal company with its 42 employees had to stop production. The technical equipment was sold to Egypt. However, the Eichbaum subsidiary Frankenthaler Brauhaus continues to exist, renamed a GmbH. And “Frankenthaler” beer products are still available. Consumers don't find out a word on the packaging that they don't come from the Palatinate city. It is the more affordable products that are sold via this channel: Germania Export, Germania Pils, Eierbacher Festbier - the latter via the Lidl retail chain. allerbest👍😁

[@robbchapman8553]

Great to get extra details. Any idea of the hops used

[@richarlison0725]

Its hop extract not actual hops

[@philmccavity7738]

Bought 3 of these during the Euros. I made a bit of a rookie error in the first one I opened. Didn't chill and when I casually opened the top, had beer spraying out all over the place! Needless to say, learned my lesson and made sure the other two were nicely chilled. Love this beer, just wish LIdl would sell it all year round.

[@hmalde]

Thank you! I saw a mini keg at Lidl a week or so back but I was afraid to get it as I’ve never bought a keg before and thought I’d need special tools for it.

[@BennyD72]

Never bought the keg but got 20 cans of the festbier, football, great beer, weekend sorted!

[@dragosv2573]

Hello Simon! I stubbled across your channel a couple of years ago when I was searching information about a couple of Lidl beers, from that moment I`ve enjoyed watching your videos with beers, food but I`m not an "active" subscriber on the comment section. I don`t know if you had this request before but I think it will be a good idea if you put a picture it the ingredients and other useful information from the product, especially the Lidl and Aldi products because they have supermarkets across Europe. For example, In Romania, the Perlenbacher 330 ml botte was changed and now the beer is brewd in France (yes, is stated on the back label) and the cap is not twist to open anymore. The abv and Plato degrees are the same but the taste got better. Cheers!

[@bluemoonmcfc9097]

Popped in this morning to get some , didnt have this but had perlenbacher pilsner kegs at the same price 4.9% , got 2

[@johnelvins]

Drank this some years ago B4 covid. Great to see it back, as good a real ale as you can get in a tin..local Lidl parc tawe got plenty at the moment..well recommended.

[@no18forever99]

Got one of these at Stretford Lidl last weekend....based on your review...what can i say ? an excellent German beer £14.99 for 5 litres great value....going back in friday see if theres any kegs left !!

[@bernarddavis9579]

Nice one! Hope you going to work your way through the beers in the latest Lidl beer drop you haven't reviewed before: Spaten Premium Hells, Abbaye de Vauxclair Biere de Garde, Greene King Hazy Day, Crius 8.5% Strong Blond Beer etc.

Got 6 cans from the limited section in lidl, absolutely gorgeous 😍

[@jakesbeerroulette]

It really is fantastic beer. Wonderful value, as are the cans of this and the cans of wheat beer that are in this week.

[@kevanparker908]

Do to a couple of medical problems, my wife buys my weekly supply of beer. And yes she gets it from Lidl I am never disappointed with what she buys for me Festbier, Perlenbacher, Westons Vintage cider, Lidl's own brand vintage cider (Crafted by Westons), and a few other favourites.

[@peetsnort]

Thank god corfu has a lidl.1mile from the airport and next to the bus station. Simply cannot wait to get some there as well

Just picked up 3 cans of the Festbier to try and 2 cans of the Wheat beer Simon👍🏻 here’s hoping they are good mate 🍺

[@Pacco1612]

Hi there, Just accidentally come a cross of Yours video here - I'm not a "Beer Guy" per say, but I'll Go tomorrow and buy one for the weekend as well...! (If Lidl selling it in Dublin) I mean £15.00 = 5L = 10pints = £1.50pp can't Go Wrong with that for the weekend...!?!

[@JamesRS84]

Got one in the beer monster machine now and it's incredible. Will try and grab a couple more tomorrow for the shed.

[@tweez7817]

I made a point of going to Lidl off the back of this vid. Picked up 6 cans, although the can design was different to the keg you’re reviewing here. Assumed it was the same stuff though. Drank over the course of the weekend. I have to say, although it’s clearly a great quality beer, by the time I finished the 6th I’d actually gone off it. Started to find it quite caramely and malty. I’m not sure I’d buy again sadly.

[@jamesb5613]

Great review, but there's no saving over buying it in cans is there?

[@robrn1975]

Hopefully their Helles is back soon too. On another point, if you drink steinhauser from aldi it's disappeared of late. I have been informed it will be back later in the year. I for one am relieved as I'm missing it

[@realaleguide]

I have picked up a six pack of Steinhauser in anticipation of a lowering of the abv

[@robrn1975]

To 4.5 percent no doubt

[@graemejohnson2388]

Been none in my Aldi for a few weeks. Asked a member of staff about it. If it’s not there we haven’t got any. Well I know that. 🤬

[@WPM-bm2cs]

They are selling the rheinbacher in 4 pack 500mls for £4.50.👍

[@simondlatham5939]

Here's hoping they don't mess about with the ABV, and ruin it

[@firstlast5350]

When they scrapped Grafenwalder lager with inferior Perlenbacher, I stopped shopping at Lidl. I hope this is better. Do they do it in ordinary cans?

To whom it may concern @lidl. I have just paused this video, walked to my local Lidl and purchased one of these. That must be worth sending this channel something?

Bought one yesterday. Quite nice! Question though : after first draw, do you re-close the valve or just keep it at the quarter turn? Instructions on the side of the vat by the way.

What size does your fridge need to be to fit the keg into? Tempted by the beer though.

The money aspect I agree with but a wise man once said to me you can’t eat sausage all the time, occasionally you have to break out and eat steak. He said that to me when we could get a pound (450g) of good sausages for 50p at my local butcher. Well the butcher is long gone but I have never forgot my friend's wise words. In the aftermath of another brewer lowering the abv and quality of its beer (Kronenburg) I have decided to drink less but go for quality, its far more satisfying. How I will get this Keg in my fridge I will never know, perhaps they have it in cans again? Cheers! 🍺

It’s not the worst beer especially at the price point but I don’t get the hype. It doesn’t compare to the proper festbiers like paulaner and Hacker-Pschorr. It actually reminded me more of an amber ale like doombar than a festbier, like a slightly less malty doombar.
