Just saw this gem in my feed. And I'm really pleasantly surprised by your great way of describing Kölsch as more than a drink. The thing you mentiont with how easy it is to drink is so true. Normaly when I'm out with my friends we have a couple of cold ones, play a little Schoken and be out to 3 or 4 in the moring without even realising it. And Kölsch is a part of it. Since Kölsch is also the name of our lokal dialect, we like to say "Kölsch is the only language you can drink". So Kölsch for us is s feeling, a way of live, a language, a beer, a part of our culture. And yes. If you ever get the chance to come to Cologne try to seek out a Brauhaus, but also at least one of the many many many Kneipen. Smaler Pup style locations where you can meet locals and find friend for the evening.

I think he didn’t mention the Reinheitsgebot (literally "purity order") which is a law limiting the ingredients in beer in Germany. The best known version of the law was adopted in Bavaria in 1516. The basic law now declares that only malted grains, hops, water and yeast are permitted in beer brewing. No extras like fruits etc are allowed.

[@KriegdenSeekrabben]

To add onto this, obviously beers can still be mixed with other ingredients in germany, but they can't be labeled as 'beer' anymore. It will most likely say something like 'Biermischgetränk' (mixed beer drink)

And as for keeping up with the American craft beer industry, I would say that it's the other way round, the American craft beer industry is still trying to catch up with 400+ years of German beer brewing tradition :) But seriously, there's a significant craft beer industry here in Germany as well as in almost every European country and Australia etc. My personal estimate is that Belgium is ahead in terms of interesting new beers.

Altbier is not only found in Düsseldorf, but in the whole Lower Rhineland and Westphalia.

Scottish professional brewer here - the difference between Light, Heavy, and Export are huge. Colour, flavour, hop additions. A Light or 60 Bob tends to be relatively pale, it could be compared to an English Mild and just like its English counterpart can be relatively more highly hopped than the name suggests. Heavy, 80 Bob, will be more malty, ruby or dark brown in colour, gently hopped compared to a Light. Export is an amped up Heavy more hops and stronger to survive export.

People that want to get drunk on cheap syrupy carbonated drinks are the ones who drink that. Not saying there is anything wrong with that but let's be real here. American light beer is by no means a highly regarded or beautifully crafted brew. Widely available..? sure it is but so is sewage water.

[@Kceam]

Wait a minute, this is just a hidden German lesson!

[@marekholub8668]

Not really. He doesn't even differentiate between Stein and Masskrüg.

[@lillyazevedo3146]

*maßkrug

[@lillyazevedo3146]

Also Stein isn't used by Germans in the same way as it is by English speaking people. So I guess he just used Stein as an "English" word here.

[@wackman1573]

He didnt even say black right

[@jpb2541]

Some of the words had a false ending

[@veryrare7647]

the ammount of history and beer knowlege is INSANE

[@jaisvikt]

...love the Saison. What a nice lager. Great video. the presenter was almost like a university professor. Very informative.

[@dragonborn-oq6kj]

Agreed on cream ale being more like lager seeing as how you are supposed to use yeast that ferments clean and doesnt leave much if any yeast flavor in the finished beer. I just put a 5 gallon batch in the fermenter ready to add the vanilla soon in secondary and then very aged with a few vanilla beans in there

sitting here drinking paulaner and learning bout german beers as an american, what a time to be alive.

[@MrJeChou]

Not gonna lie im afternoon drinking because of this video

[@MCPeeBoy]

Does WIRED know that they can put marks in the progress bar? It is so annoying that they did not even put time codes in the description.

[@jdwest34]

Did it.

[@bluu_ice6554]

Rene how about just shut up and watch the entire video. Learn something dingus.

[@emilchandran546]

I swear, people have watched TV shows and feature length films for generations. Listened to symphonies and watched plays for centuries. They did this without the ability to pause, rewind, or fast forward. We have reached the point where our attention-spans are too short to watch an hour long video even when we can stop it. Come back to it later, watch parts more than once and skip over parts. The main criticism of this video seems to be that there are no timestamps. Why do we need them?

[@emilchandran546]

I honestly don’t understand can someone please explain?

[@trouts4]

This video was edited and formatted by an idiot so I am not surprised.

[@summeroflove394]

Cheers Master Pat 🍻 This was such an informative and fun video and exactly what I was looking for as a beer enthusiast.

[@joephysics5469]

As a fan of craft beers who has slacked off on my brewed education - my mind is completely blown. I forgot to take notes. Would have loved to taste each style too.

[@pastadudeLA]

Thanks, Eric Stoltz! Very informative and fun to watch.

[@Canuckvik]

Omg.... this video is perfect. I'm studying to become a brew master and this is a great little refresher on styles.

[@brianmoretti]

Homebrewer here, was looking for some inspiration. I must have written down 30 different ideas for my next brew. Thanks Pat! Cheers!

[@jalockhart21]

The English Bitter is my favorite style of beer. It’s a shame you cant get much of it across the pond in America. Since it’s traditionally served on Cask, its less common in America. The beers on cask in America seem to be mostly fruity or lactose IPA’s. Timothy Taylor’s Landlord might be one of the best English Bitters!

[@itsdarkinhere]

Timothy Taylor’s Landlord is truly awesome.

[@fhqwhgads1670]

Abbott Ale is heaven... but hard to find in the 'States. (and possibly technically not an english bitter... maybe an ESB? I forget)

[@chris-dm2gv]

@@fhqwhgads1670 Abbott's is great, but my all time favourite is Marston's Pedigree mmmmm!

[@MrColinwith1L]

This is one of the most informative pieces of data about beer on the Internet, very well done.

[@amon_san]

for those who want to pronounce "Urquell" correctly: it's something along the lines of "oor-kwell" (the 'oo' pronounced as in the noun 'moor')

[@Titamiva]

I was hoping or someone to correct him on this.

[@avaulteriam]

@@Titamiva depending dialectically, could also be pronounced "oor-kvell"

[@herrkulor3771]

Definitely kvell. germans use w as others use v. Because germans use v as f. They also have two letters for the same sound y and ü.

As an Irishman this is one of the best A-Z Alcoholic Documentary,s. You have to watch this.

[@dennisoconnor4387]

GREAT JOB! FINALLY GOT TO SIT THROUGH IT, LOVE IT. I LEARNED ALOT! THANKS PAT!

[@shahan484]

a 1 hour video explaining beer? lets gooo

[@thomashanson6603]

Didnt realise this was going to be an hour until I was at 55 minutes

[@Zman_fnaf]

I’ve always fond of wheat ales. The taste and aroma very far and wide. I started drinking beer in the November of 2019 the day before my 17th birthday.

[@cooki522]

My dad is a microbiologist who did his Msc in yeast genetics who has his own microbrewery, gonna need to send this to him.

[@foley302]

This was excellent. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. Great history along with learning lesson

[@MaresApple]

Tried to count how many of these styles I actually tasted, but gave up 1/3 into the video :D The video reminded me of my last pre-lockdown trip to Germany, where I tried both Alt and Koelsch, and I agree - the approach to serving them as a never-ending stream of small glasses is quite dangerous haha

[@ExarchGaming]

Ahhhhhhhh that's so cool they brought up Einbeck... i went there as a exchange student in 2002 and it was one of the best experiences of my life. The Brewery is really awesome.

[@brendanlesinski]

I totally agree about the American Brown Ale comment. So good, drinkable, but not boring.

[@dannyarcher6163]

Thanks for this! A perfect guide for deciding what to brew next.

[@dudeguyforever3742]

Man the things i watch in the dead of night are so freakin random

[@jasuindiloan]

You'll make a lot of casual beer drinking Belgians happy by mentioning Duvel and the Trappist beers... but the real Belgian crown beers are indeed the Lambics and derivatives. They are so underrated in our own country, it's unbelievable.

[@vincentd5651]

Extremely happy you included Duvel and trappist beers!

[@iammaxhailme]

who else is tired of bitter hoppy IPAs and want to drink a dark stout in a wood paneled bar with a bunch of silent depressed alcoholics like our forefathers did

[@turmify]

IPAs are dead, long live Saisons 🙌🙌

[@Pedro_99]

You can go to any craft bar or bottle shop and have literally tens of different styles. So just pick the one you like, whatever is it (ipa, lager, stout, sour, lambic, tripel...). That's the whole point of craft beers: not getting stuck with the same commercial lagers made with cheap adjuncts that taste all the same...

[@andyq9669]

That's my house you're describing

[@Lucait]

not me...dark beer make me sick

[@daddyRAMROD510]

Gose is by far my favorite

[@nicklundy1970]

When I went to Greece in 2018, we had a layover in Munich, I was 16 at the time on a school trip. During the layover I went to this little “burger” restaurant where I had 3 steins of helles. And it was the best beer I’ve ever had

[@garyb2392]

This is awesome ! The 1hr length gave me pause…who can talk about beer for 1hrs? I’m not a big drinker(of beer) and I found this presentation so informative and interesting! Motivates me to drink (find ) beers outside of the typical 3 beers that I drink at my favorite sports bar(Guinness, Corona and Stella)

[@ilovepudding7873]

I highly reccommend trying to find some trappist beers, personally i dont care for dubbel but quads are among my favourite type.

[@seanpoynter2469]

I was sober starting this video and fairly tipsy by the end. Cheers!

[@colviolet4066]

69 minutes of beer trivia? Nice.
