Understanding German Beer

So Rubio had some time on his hands, and German beer in them, so he concocted a devious scheme to perfectly re-create past Beerists-Modern Rogue episodes down to everybody wearing the exact same clothes, sporting the same beard progressions, all against the warehouse in as much disarray and just as disheveled as it was four months ago -- but this time, they have the German beer to drink.

If you want to try a Belgian beer, I'd propose a 'Duvel'. I live in Belgium and have visited the brewery in Breendonk (pronounced as Braindonck) and it's a stronger beer (around 8%). If that's too strong, try a vedett (4.5-ish) beer.

[@abdamit]

there's a saying in germany: "Kölsch is the only successful attempt to water down water"

[@antiisocial]

😂

[@captainchaos3053]

abdamit Looks like pish, smells like pish and tastes like weak pish. It must be Kölsch.

[@TheSpikehere]

@@captainchaos3053 On my two "pub crawls" around Germany the only bad beer I had was Kolsch. No flavour whatsoever.

[@tomislavnikolic5778]

I have a friend in Cologne who'd be offended but wouldn't disagee. It's because he lives in Cologne, but I feel he would prefer something smoother and with a higher alcohol content :D

[@jotwee63]

Drink Düsseldorf Altbier, afterwards you pee Kölsch.

[@killerspecht90]

There's one more major aspect of German beer culture, which is the glasses. Kölsch you drink in a 0.2L glass in a simple cylinder shape. Weizen you drink in 0.5L glasses that kinda look like the Football (soccer) world cup trophy and Pilsener you drink in glasses like the one you are using. Pilsener btw are also very different regionally. Northern German Pilseners for example are much spicier/more bitter/drier than Pilseners from other parts of Germany. Like the video :)

[@amanderp21]

They are drinking from snifters, pilsners get almost a fat champagne flute type of glass, and most Kolshes get a "tankard" or large mug style because of the lightness and drinkability.

[@TheMrNalsur]

What about the Maß bier? :D On my first time visiting Germany, in Munich's Englischer Garten, I had my first time seeing the 1L mugs. When I ordered it, the dude serving went almost ecstatic. "MAß BIEEEER!" he said in a very deep voice. Ah I wanna go back to Germany. Grüße!

[@ZootZootTesla]

@@amanderp21 When i went to cologne and bonn all the locals there ordered Kolsch in 0.2l glasses and the bar staff would be almost shocked if we ordered in a larger glass.

[@jolioding_2253]

@@TheMrNalsur The mug is sometimes referred to as a "Humpen"or "Stein" but mostly as a "Maß" or "Krug." In bavaria and austria the Maß is used for most beers and beer mixes like radler which is beer and lemonade

I went to a concert in Germany last year. I didn't eat yet so I decided to get some at the concert. They only sold beer and pretzels. 10/10 would do again.

[@boahkeinbockmehr]

First rule of german beer: drink it from the according glass... e.g. Kölsch is served in a "Stange" which is a 0,2l straight tube like glass. So that the tabbed Kölsch is always fresh (since it has comparibly little carbonation) and by drinking it from the glass, you almost chuck it down in 2 or 3 zips. And by the design of the glass the beer hits your mouth mainly in the back which alters the taste (due to the distribution of tasting buds in your mouth). Weizen on the otherside has realy large glasses (0,5l) out of which you take larger chucks and start the taste right in the front of your mouth and so on

[@DerDoctor69]

And everyone knows that the only real glass is the Maß Krug (1l)

[@emkay6533]

And you can´t pour a 05, l Weiße / Weizen in 4 glasses and afterwards analyze it, because everyone has something different in the glass. Just like you can´t drink Weizen from a bottle. I mean you can, but it´s something to avoid. The yeast settles on the ground.

Greetings from a German! Gotta admit, none of my favourite beers were up in this video, but I remembered some saying right away. Some German people call a Kölsch "the only way to dilute water" and I kinda felt like I had to share that. Another fun fact as I'm continuing to watch: comparing hefeweizen smell to banana bread reminded me that there's a lot of people who like to drink bananenweizen, which is (obviously) a weizenbier with banana juice. It's actually quite good!

Awesome show! Guy from southern Germany here, where Hefeweizen is very popular. It is also by far my favorite beer. If you ever come to Germany and you happen to be in the south, take a couple of hours hike up to a castle (we have tons of those). Usually on top of the castles you can buy food and beer quite cheaply. After being in the sun and sweating, a cold Hefeweizen is like heaven in a glas!!! Then during dinner, pair your hearty food with a nice dark hefeweizen :). Oh also I've been at the monestary in Andex and drank their 10% doppel Bock. Strong stuff ^^

Berliner Weisse Sourness: I assume that's why adding fruit syrup to the Weisse became a thing...?

[@wasteofspace04]

Yes.

[@johnrubio]

That's exactly right. And while I prefer mine without syrup, sometimes I love a dash of raspberry or woodruff syrup in mine.

[@helloweener2007]

You can drink it without syrup. But you have to keep it for a long time in the cellar. I am told, that it was buried in the ground for a year. It changes the taste then, but I never tried this. I drink it only with sweet Woodruff syrup.

[@Aquila009]

John Rubio I actually get annoyed by this. Whenever I as a Belgian get in a discussion with a German they go “REINHEITSGEBOT!” And as they say that, they mix their white beer with cola. Give me a good dark Belgian beer or even a Cherry beer any day of the week.

[@helloweener2007]

Aquila009, The Reinheitsgebot had reasons in the time the law was written. Now it is a more marketing and protection. It is like Belgian waffles or the chocolate. If you buy it, you know what you get. The Reinheitsgebot prevents some cheating. You can get mixed beers here. But there is no writing about the Reinheitsgebot on it. I know guys who would never drink a mixed beer. I am fine with it, I am also fine with Irish beer or English Ale. I had also a Belgian beer in last time. Thanks to the EU-Market you can sell it here, even without keeping to our purity law.

Most important thing to remember about Kölsch: don't order it if you're in or around Düsseldorf, as there is a long-standing rivalry between Düsseldorf and Cologne. You won't find a bar in Düsseldorf that serves Kölsch. Likewise, they won't serve Altbier, Düsseldorf's trademark beer, in Cologne. Apparently some landlords even kick you out if you order the wrong beer in the wrong city.

[@knighToFdemonS]

Greetings from germany (also lol). Pretty nice to see you guys do this beer-thing and here comes the but(t). Dont take this as offense (lot of people get to easy offended) but I just want to point out that here almost every region has their own beer. Most brewed and consumed are probably Pils. First the type of glas you use makes a huge difference. You should definelty try a Hefeweizen out of a big glas that is made for holding a whole bottle. Also I noticed you almost have no foam-topping. Tip: Leave a little rest in the bottle (maybe about two fingers width), shake it up to get foamy and pour it on top into the glas. Also very important!!! The Reinheitsgebot has changed due to EU regulations. Now you can add things like different acids or even aspertam. I'm personally very sad about this but thats business these days... So german beer is not as pure anymore as it was 10 years ago - very unfortunate Keep up the good videos!

[@Jason-jh9uv]

Ich war n bischen traurig dass die nicht normales Bier wie krombacher oder Veltins probiert haben...

[@RandolphCrane]

Just an addition: The traditional Reinheitsgebot did in fact change in Germany, but not in Bavaria, which is a state of Germany (like Texas in the US). Bavaria/Bayern has retained their original Reinheitsgebot from 1516, and there still only hops, water, and malt are used for brewing. To get the real deal, I would always recommend to try authentic Bavarian beer. My favourite is Weihenstephaner.

[@midnightme4em]

Interestingly: all the beers you had taste different than they do in Germany. Because of the purity laws, German beer would be illegal to sell in the US without being filtered in some weird way... The more you know :)

[@johnrubio]

That's a misconception. Plenty of unfiltered German-made beer is imported into the US. A big reason a lot of it tastes different is because of the process of export/import. Often, that exposes the beer to temperature fluctuations, jarring motion, and time- all of which can sometimes negatively impact the flavor of a beer. It's not always the case, though.

[@midnightme4em]

John Rubio i stand corrected! Hats off my lord! Still tastes better here ;) plus, the best stuff isn’t exported at all...

[@captcan78]

Great video guys! Just a few remarks. 1) The "Reinheitsgebot" is more of a marketing issue... As everyone here will argue that is serves the quality of the beer (and maybe it does, since it prohibits cheep ingredients such as rice) its actual purpose in the early 16the century was different: It states that only malt can be used for brewing bear, meaning malted barley. So the law prevented wheat from being used to brew beer in order to keep the prices for bread low. In this sense, todays wheat beer, or Weißbier as it is called most parts (not all of) Bavaria, does not comply to the "Reinheitsgebot". 2) The reason why some parts of the wheat beer are cloudy and some are not (Berliner Weiße is a wheat beer after all) is because it is not filtered and some of the yeast will subside to the bottom of the bottle, as it stands upright. But since a glas for wheat beer is usually .5 litres, it doesn't really matter as you are pouring the whole bottle anyway. You just have to make sure, that you get all of the bottles content. 3) Different beers are usually served in different styles of glasses. The Kölsch glas for example is .2 litres, since this type of beer usually go stale very fast. So in order to enjoy the whole beer, the amount in the glas is small. 4) There are tons of other sorts of Beer: The most important one here in Germany is not even mentioned: Pils, or Pilsener. This style of beer originated also in Bohemia within the city of what is now called "Plzeň". The German name of the city is "Pilsen" as a significant part of Bohemias population before '45 was German. Although most of them were expelled after the war, the Czech brewery in Plzeň still uses the German name: "Pilsner Urquell". Pilsener remains one of the most popular styes of beer within Germany. Btw. the German name for the city of Budějovice is "Budweis"... So i think you can guess, where the name "Budweiser" for an American beer comes from ;-) 5) Other types of beer that are quite common here are "Helles", "Export", "Altbier", "Märzen" and "Porter"... So there is many more to discover. I'd love to see some more videos here :)

What has 2 thumbs and is gonna try some German beers this weekend? This guy. As soon as you said kolsch, I ran to the fridge and got my kolsch-style beer from Arizona.

[@splitmac]

Yes. More beerist episodes

[@johnrubio]

YASSSSSS! If you like those, I hope you listen to our podcast. thebeerists.com

[@hammerth1421]

Germans are mostly drinking Czech style beer. There are many german breweries but they mainly producer Pilsener.

[@tolga1cool]

You do a video about German beer yet start with Kölsch 😣😣😣

[@MsJavaWolf]

Well it makes sense. As he said they want to start with something light.

[@Terrakinetic]

I like how there is continuity between episodes and videos.

Great informative video. Can't wait to see more.

That dunkelweizen looks so perfect to me, so I looked it up, and apparently there was a brewery just 2 blocks away from me for 3 years that made it! I didn't even know that place existed, but unfortunately, it closed down this summer, just after I turned 21, taking the only local source of dunkelweizen with it. Why is life so cruel sometimes?

[@jobdan821]

Hi guys, nice Review of some of our great beers, as you know we have a lot of great regional beers. One of the importants things in the past, was the water near the brewerys, so a lot of beers had the same manufacterer but different tastes, based on the regional water. Hope that is interesting as well for you. Finally a special about the hefeweizen, after sport or at warm days, we put some banana juice in the beer and that fits perfectly to original taste of the Beer! Great Video guys, go on and take care, will follow you! :)

[@johnrubio]

Regionality is one of my favorite things about a beer. It gives geography a flavor, and flavors to specific travel destinations.

[@randomi1148]

Try Czech beer

[@gumm1ente]

@@Osc1llateW1ldly You mean the one that had to be invented by a bavarian that specifically was ordered over 1842 to pilsen because the townsfolk dumped barrels of the original top-fermented brown "pilsner" on the town square to show how bad it was? You can read it up, very interesting. Don't get me wrong, I dont wanna talk czech beer bad quite the contrary you guys have awesome beer but Pilsner Urquell literally is the original name for it too which was brewed in the then called "Bürger Brauerei" in Pilsen as bavarian lager style beer. Also taking into account that Pilsen back then had a strong german speaking community you gotta give the bavarians some credit. The czechs obviously provided the Water and hops so its more like a bavarian-czech joint venture project. I think we can all agree though that europe as a whole brews the world's best beer. If you're a beer lover you appreciate them all be it Belgian, Dutch, English, Scandinavian, German or Czech etc. :)

[@UnnamedUser1]

philosophizing about beer...i could listen all day to you guys :p

What is this now, 4 episodes with Beerists? I think Trevor is being challenged. Also might I add you guys seem to have an affinity for alcohol

WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, TREVOR.

[@GreigMcGill]

"Also might I add you guys seem to have an affinity for alcohol" You say that like it's a BAD thing! Modern Rogue + The Beerists = Full On Win.

[@derdaedalicpiranha]

That was really interesting to see as a German :D I knew all of the different kinds of beers they presented but i did not know a single brand. And the way you say stuff like Reinheitsgebot is pretty funny :D even though i know (or at least think) that you don't try to say it in German. Great video anyway!

[@FroznOrbOo]

you can also refer to it as : Kölner Pisse.

[@BA5GH3TT1]

Not really into beer or whiskey, but these types of episodes are some of my favorites

[@TheStrangerous]

That's great to hear! I'm glad the non-drinking segment of the Modern Rogue community isn't alienated by these.

[@plt927]

Seit wann ist kölsch Bier??? (man betone das “ö“

[@JtheBurger]

PL T pisswasser

[@Brgsn]

Hab ich mich auch gefragt 🤔 Hab fast geweint als sie das Weizen "getrunken" haben und sowas nennt sich Bierexperte

[@CR0ssman]

War es noch nie!

[@adrianbedregal3231]

Every once in a while I rewatch all these videos,

[@ericbell7]

The place Kölsch comes from is Köln, isn't it? It sounded like klon, when he said it:) And try pronouncing the "ö" like you say "we were at a bar" "we wör(e) at the bar" that may be the closest sound in english to the german "ö" Or "I heared that a guy said.." "I höred that a guy said..." Nice one Brian! Swiss-beer is great too. And the whisky as well :-)

[@vonKartoffel]

it sounded like klon because Köln is Cologne in english

[@BrutalOddball]

Exactly, because English doesn't have the ö, they translated Köln to Cologne, so that's what he said!

[@majan6267]

no, the name Colongne has nothing to do with English having no "ö", it derives from latin "colonia"

[@DerMaflon]

majan yes and no. Colonia is the latin name of Köln but most german cities are not translated (Hamburg, Berlin, Stuttgart) because they can be said in english aswell. Köln can't so they chose to call it cologne which comes from colonia

[@anthonykaiser974]

In Kölsch dialect, they say "Koasch."

[@sebastianwendl603]

Hefeweizen is great, but to drink it properly, you really need the half-liter glasses, so all the contents of the bottle can mix a little. With other beers, it doesn't matter too much, but here you can really improve the experience with a bigger glass. To the "What you want to eat with that?" question: Weißwurst and Brezen. These three combined are kind of the bavarian equivalent of a brunch, called "Weißwurstfrühstück. Try it, it's great.

[@mikaeljovaldy9377]

they make their drinking problems into hobby

[@AdolfHitler-pm3lc]

Mika Zilla and a learning experience for the rest of us

[@jogo086]

the funny thing with watching this video when coming from Cologne is, that you´re examining the beer like some finest single malt, but a can of Kölsch is basically 95ct in german supermarket :D

[@Rockabilly1985]

Nothing from Dortmund...? You are disqualified ;-)!

[@paaatreeeck]

I have basically stopped buying pilsner for at home a couple of years ago, switched to bavarian hefeweizen completly. Normal naturtrübes for casual drinking or with snacks, and a nice strong dunkles to compliment a good hearty meal. Works great for me.

you guys should do the next video about learning parkour

it's on the list!

[@slavko321]

maybe finish with a beer tasting+parkour? should be fun.

[@p.taylorish910]

"Reinheitsgebot" just means the incredients within the final product. Not the substances you use during the making of the product...Huge difference!

[@Pierre-AnneRLaird]

DO WINE!

Definitely.

I don't drink, however I have always found the intricacies of alcoholic beverages fascinating. Good video, quite informative.

It makes me cringe how you guys pronounce the brands etc. 😅

[@scotthudnall3375]

Thank you for a great episode! I'm not too well versed in beers, so this has been a great primer to get to know what I like. My wife and I were in Nuremberg a little while ago and I had a really awesome dark beer at a small beer garden near my hotel. I've been looking around to see if I can find it in San Antonio without success. It sounds like the Double Bock might be it! Thanks again!

[@TheStrangerous]

Outstanding! Be sure to listen to the Beerists podcast. They've got new episodes every week.

[@Lenniblackphone]

Kölsch is no real Bier! Only in Cologne it is considered good, all the other Germans hate it

Weil ihr einen an der Klatsche habt

You got to up your glass game. Most german beers have a specific glass style designed for it.
