[@TimmyThomas1532]

I would love a video on hefeweizen! I will be visiting in September (Cant Wait) and I really hope you still have Lucid Dreamer available!!!

[@wyattbradley3231]

I second this!

[@garychiang2568]

Agreed. Hefs are one of my favourite beers and would love a comparison between American and German hefs.

[@shuttzbrewing]

AGREED! Love the style! - Right after would have to be a dunkelweiss comparison!

[@Stanczyk512]

I prefer the clear glasses

[@brianhorner4717]

Bitberger I have had many times really enjoy that beer. Great content Cheers Brian from Canada

[@philiprennert7730]

It’s Bitburger and in Germany it’s a unpopular beer that is produced in big quantities. Regional produced beers from small factories are way better.

[@DavidFSloneEsq]

I love that you picked Bitburger as your winner. I don’t know what prices are like where you are, but it’s always one of the least expensive German beers here in Brooklyn - I’m talking seven or eight bucks for a four-pack - and it’s pretty much perfect.

[@Todd-lv8ih]

Like the clear glasses so much more. Thank you for the videos! Always look forward to them

[@marshallkutyn3043]

Yup, agreed!

[@hedgehog]

This has got to be a nice change from the blind tastings of US Mass Produced light lagers

[@treehousebrewco]

definitely!

[@paulsaltine]

Bitburger is my go to "crispy" beer here in Newfoundland Canada. We don't have a lot of German or Czech Pilsners imported here, but Bitburger is by far the best. It even beats out the Pilsner Urquell that ends up on our shelves here. The liquor store also used to stock mini kegs of it that was an incredible value if you were having a house party.

[@treehousebrewco]

i absolutely love bitburger

[@Cookinberry]

I love these videos. And I second that a hefeweizen would be awesome. Also, I'd love one on popular Belgian ales.

[@brewingbadTN]

I’d love to see more content from you on your in-house beers as well as more brewing content like the hazy and stout brewing videos you’ve shared before. Thanks for considering and cheers 🍻

[@dreadnoughtandcrow]

beer is awesome

[@dane5896]

The Bitberger has become my go-to beer. Excellent beer, at a reasonable price. 🍻🍻🍻 I haven't seen the green or the black cans in my area.

[@jamesontade6237]

My favorite beer style is a German Pilsner. Nothing beats it!

[@Claude_van]

In Germany we see it a cheap industrial beer. Nothing special. Czech Pilsener or regional beers in Germany are much better.

[@edoetschedoetsch]

Hmm. I blew my taste buds out on all the Hazy IPAs and went back to German (European) lagers actually so this was great. My choice these days regardless of price is: Warsteiner Paulaner (Octoberfest Munchen Lager, not the Marzen, but the regular is great too) Weinstephaner When price is taken into consideration its Warsteiner and Peroni as I can get them in 12 packs....

[@Squidward_Tikiland]

I’m drinking a nasty cheap ipa right now and researching what German beer I should get. Is there a cheap-ish go-to German beer with a hint of citrus? Good for drinking a lot? EDIT: Warsteiner huh? I’ll have to take a look

[@echardcore]

These beers are rarely fresh in my opinion. Just dumped a whole 4pack of one. But when they are fresh, so good.

[@KnobbyWobby]

Since you've been going around the globe, how about a Belgian tasting? Would love to see you rate some Tripels or Golden Strong's.

[@danielgoldberg2129]

I was born in Bitburg and drink Bitburger mainly for nostalgia. (I even have a “Bitte Ein Bit” decal on my car.😂)

[@Below_Average_Nerd]

Our favorite in Germany was Augustiner-Brau. I'd definitely recommend giving it a try!

[@61hink]

Really love Paulaner's Oktoberfest beer. Need to do a tasting when this year's batch of Oktoberfest beers comes out - they should all be fresh.

[@clairseoirdochasach]

Yes!

[@jake6132]

German beers are my favorite. Thanks for the video. One suggestion about a future episode topic: South American beers. Some that I've had: Kuntsmann (Chile), Cusqueña (Peru), Cristal (Peru), Quilmes (Argentina), Brahma (Brazil), Pilsen (Peru), and Escudo (Chile). Since you've done a video on Japanese, German, Mexican, NZ, etc. beers, I thought I'd throw another one in there.

[@carman59]

Rothaus pils is the greatest german beer, I wish I could get it in Canada 😿

[@davewilliamson9022]

four of my favorite beers from 17 years in Germany, good assortment of styles, Kolsch with Mett you have to try

[@Avyboy28]

Love the taste test content guys

[@DarwinsBeerReviews]

Love the blind tastings!

[@treehousebrewco]

Us too!

[@RichardPoogerman]

Love Bitburger.

[@JohnL9013]

It's a shame you didn't get fresh Weltenberger Marzen because fresh from State Line Liquors in MD where I've gotten it before, it's phenomenal.

[@alejandroramirez4470]

weltenburger marzen is my favorite from these. glad there is a marzen beer made all year long. sad the one you had probably was "mistreated" like mentioned though.

[@victorshaffer3859]

Good choice on the styles. Next time you have a mixed style blind taste, try guessing the style. I liked the different styles you went with. Check out the pictures of weltenburger. It’s beautiful. I wanted to go but didn’t get a chance. I’ve been to a few catholic monastery breweries in Germany though. Andech is my favorite.

[@walterroll7109]

Hey Nate, would love to know know canned on or best by dates on all of those cans. Love the video. Cheers

[@TdawgMosby]

Love the video. As a European these are much better available for me and very drinkable. Oh and btw; I am drinking a black fern at the moment and it is absolutely fantastic. What a celebration of NZ hops. For EU standards a pretty revent canning date as well. Loving the Treehouse beers from over in Europe.

[@huddekadde]

Funny, that i just bought the Weltenburger 1050 again recently, cause I thought it had the most unique flavour out of the bunch...nevertheless the Paulaner is My go-to "Wegbier" and never disappoints....great content, keep it on

[@Birdcube78]

Mahrs Brau's Helles was the beer that turned me into a Lager fanatic. Sadly, haven't seen them around in years.

[@briancampbell119]

Love the videos keep up the great content

[@treehousebrewco]

Thanks! Will do!

[@pimhoff]

I only see Bitberger and Paulaner near me in NH. I like Paulaner better than Bitberger but it may just been how old one was versus the other.

[@rjq3987]

Bitburger is my favorite German beer, followed by Grolsch!

[@EugeniusIv]

Grolsch is dutch though

[@steveh4114]

Cheers ! ... if you haven't already, ... looking for a tasting of same beers brewed in different locations ... i.e. Soporro brewed in Japan, or Canada or USA ... and Heineken, brewed in Canada or Copenhagen !

[@treehousebrewco]

that’s a great idea

[@deanzaZZR]

It would have been interesting to have put in Trumer Pils (Austrian) brewed in Berkeley, California. Maybe it doesn't get all the way out east?

[@FirstLast-qf1df]

I have never seen or heard of the first one. I have seen the fourth one but I have never had it. I have had the fifth brand many times but I have never tried that particular beer. I have had the second one a few times, and I have had the third and sixth more times than I can count.

[@paulff3]

Afternoon Nate! Stay cool.

[@bonfigley]

Good lookin frame right there

[@jasonl5337]

Love this content. Thank you for not including your own house beers in the blinds. If you want to advertise some of your own, maybe do it at the end of the video and tell us about it and how it fits amongst the ones you rate!

[@spencerp4327]

I also agree on hefeweizen. Drinking a yazoo brewing hefeweizen right now.

[@JamesClatterbaugh]

How about offering some of the sweet hats you wear in the videos in your online store? Like the camo one in this video with the orange logo, or the 6 panel black hat with white logo, or white with black logo. I like the hats with the stiff front, not the floppy ones you mostly offer.

[@alexd481]

Einbecker is the best German beer I have tasted, but sadly it is hard to find in most states.

[@bluztime5271]

Love your videos

[@treehousebrewco]

Thanks!

[@beerbarnbrewing9160]

I have always wanted to try Fruh, but can never find it!

[@deanzaZZR]

Bummer. I can easily grab Frũh nearby in my area of California. It is light and tasty. And to drink it at the source in Cologne is chef's kiss material.

[@rizz70nd]

I'd love to see a Kolsch tasting

[@stephenmaher1029]

Looked pretty tasty 👍

[@chrisbroadbent7778]

Anno 1050 is a great beer usually, you definitely got a dud can

[@alejandroramirez4470]

I'm also sad he didn't get one that is up to standard. I've bought a pack twice when I crave a marzen instead of pils.

[@fhdhff]

This vid inspired me to take a trip to my local Total Wine tomorrow and pick up some German beers! Prost!

[@treehousebrewco]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Mikkogram]

Fuck me. Colbitzer? How did you get this beer :D a little village brewery near Magdeburg

[@hadleygrass]

I too would like an episode about Hefeweizens. I lived in West Germany for 3 years, lived on Hefes and still love them. Been a beer lover since I landed there in 1987.

[@treehousebrewco]

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@AdamKeele]

I've rarely had a German beer bought in the US that was anywhere near like it is fresh in Germany. It was so nice being stationed over there with the military. And a lot of US breweries do mediocre job of brewing German styles like they do in Germany too (a lot having to do with ingredients, water profiles and process). Can't wait for my next trip back to Germany!

[@ts6141]

I find total wine doesn't have "fresh" beer you really gotta look at the dates on their cans.

[@XkannsenX]

Bitburger my favorit german pils

[@ZionForman]

I would have chosen Bitburger

[@ELGlueckert]

Please do English ales next.

[@treehousebrewco]

Noted!

[@DidYaServe]

No way does Bitburger beat Fruh from my experience but I've only drank the latter in bottles not cans.

[@treehousebrewco]

it’s comparing apples to oranges really. Both are good

[@adamarndt7617]

"Früh" = "Froo"

[@Edge_Slade]

BITTE EIN BIT

[@greensombrero3641]

bitte ein bit

[@mistletoephoto]

Bitburger is good.

[@giantbeat1]

No Augustiner?

[@deanzaZZR]

It's a great beer but the last time I looked at the local liquor store that sells Augustiner Edelstoff and keeps it in a cooler it was $20 for a six-pack of bottles. Total Wine has it for cheaper but it is not refrigerated.

[@PhilDashnaw]

Deutsches Bier. Das Beste!

[@Claude_van]

Doesn’t shaking the glass bring unwanted oxygen into the beer?

[@treehousebrewco]

it does being oxygen, but not unwanted. Not enough time to oxidize while drinking. Releases c02 from the beer and allows aromatic notes to shine

[@zachodell5138]

Hefeweizens please

[@treehousebrewco]

Noted!!

[@terrenspencer4439]

Love that camo hat with the blaze orange logo!

[@roderickroderick7216]

Clear glasses are WAY WAY WAY better....

[@dlhartwell]

How do we get Dave Portnoy to do a Treehouse Pizza review?

[@salvadortorres608]

I like the sound of that!!

[@Sub4dkg1]

I thought i heard he was at Tewksbury recently…..

[@jaredleclaire9842]

He was there a few weeks ago. The review should be out any day now.

[@drebourbon7616]

You can actually hear people in the background telling him what it is. Sad.

[@larsporsena9529]

Timestamp?

[@mikedolan1890]

You really got the shittiest 6 beers from Germany ever,

[@klausenator]

I really like all of your videos, but this one was not good. You cannot compare different styles of german beer. You tasted two pilsners, one Kölsch, one Märzen, one Helles and one Münchner Hell. These are all completely different beers. You cannot compare apples with oranges!

[@tendervittlesdoobiestein2145]

Bit is nasty! YUCK!

[@ice24790]

I miss videos about brewing and brewing advice. These are boring.

[@automatvfx]

Well, you picked some of the worst Beers available.. Hard to compare Pils, Kölsch and Helles and Märzen because they are completly diffrerent kinds of beer.

[@stephenatohi]

They're all oxidized because they're traveling from Europe. It's just a matter of the level of oxidation. Unless you're ensuring freshness, a comparison panel like this isn't really fair to the breweries in Germany. That's not how Fruh is pronounced, that's not how marzen is pronounced, that's not how Paulaner is pronounced, and that's not how muy bueno is pronounced.

[@marshallkutyn3043]

You seem like a joy to have a beer with

[@stephenatohi]

@@marshallkutyn3043 - Lolz, fair, but you don't feel bad for some of those breweries? They put so much effort into their craft and an expert on the other side of the world is like, "yeah, this one is flabby." Yeah, man. It's oxidzed. It's a helles. They really don't have much hops to hold up to even the smallest amount of oxidation. Or put another way, you just watched the Treehouse dude be overly critical of a breweries beer in an unfair situation, which you were fine with, and then got upset when I was overly critical of the Treehouse dude in a fair situation. The breweries didn't sign up for this critique, the Treehouse dude did by putting his video on a public platform. When breweries send their beer out for competitive tastings, they make sure they stay cold the whole time. Treehouse dude would heartily back me up that beer should stay always stay cold. If he get to drag a beer through the mud because it's in poor condition, I get to drag him through the mud for putting out a video about it.
