    Well Hefeweizen has to be poured out entirely in order to get the real taste of that beer.
    By the way "Hefe" means "yeast" and "weizen" means "wheat".So basically "Hefeweizen" means literally "yeast-wheat" beer.
    And the yeast is on the bottom of the bottle or can, because during time it will deposit down there, therefore you have to pour out the beer entirely in order to distribute the yeast evenly in the beer again..the technique is to pour out the beer into a glas until a last sip is left in the bottle or can, that last sip left in the bottle has to be pivoted in the bottle in order to detach the yeast from the bottom of the bottle and then pour out the last sip with all the yeast into the glass and the yeast will then distribute evenly in the beer again ...and only then you´ll get the whole taste of any Hefeweizen.

    So think about that: In 1900, three German brewers established Cervecería del Pacifico in the small Mexican port town of Mazatlán. Word of the exceptionally drinkable pilsner-style lager traveled fast. Soon, thirst for Pacifico spread from Sinaloa and up the rugged Baja coastline. The german beer tradition always goes on. Also the famous chinese Beer Tsingtao is established by german settlers in 1903. And so it is in other countrys too (Australia, Argentina, Russia, Japan and so on ). Also in the US: Eberhard Anheuser und Adolphus Busch, Frederick Miller (born as Friedrich Müller), David Gottlob Yuengling (born as Jüngling)

    The red can is Kolsch - the beer common in Cologne. They normally serve it in 200ml glasses. When you go into the bar they serve you a glass. And when that glass is done, they give you another. And another. And another. Each time 200ml. You put a coaster over your glass to tell them that you don't want another one and the bar then adds up all your glasses and charges you based on how many you've had. Means your beer isnt sitting for any length of time and is always freshly poured when you're drinking it. Dangerous as it's easy to lose track of how many you've had.
    If you're not in a bar but they're serving Kolsch then they sometimes sell them in a fitted tray with 10 glasses (2 litres) as a single order.

    Living in the Texas hill country I am blessed by an abundance of German beers and German heritage. We have a local beer here called "Shiner". It's a bock beer and named after the town it is brewed in. The town is made up of almost entirely Czech, and Czech Germans. The story is that the immigrants from Bavaria that came here got tired of the beer that was available and started their own brewery and made beer the way it was "Done back home". They've brewed it the same way ever since and it sells all over the country.

      U will be surprised but these beers are not craft beers after german brewing law called the " Reinheitsgebot" or purity order in English. The only ingredients that can be used in the production of beer are water, barley, hops and yeast ( yeast in german is "Hefe" like the first beer in the video was). So technically every beer with more ingridents is not a german beer but can be a craft beer.

    Anything German that starts with a W, has the sound of a V. So while it says Hefeweizen, it actually sounds like Hefeveizen, when translated to English means "yeast wheat" which basically just means that it is a beer made with wheat (has to be at least 50% wheat to be considered a Hefe), and unfiltered (as it has the yeast in it).

    Dude, when it says "Hefeweizen," it has remains of yeast in it. (Hefe-Weizen = wheat yeast, i.e. not only barley malt but also wheat malt; and top-fermented yeast is used for it instead of bottom-fermented, that's why it is also called "Weißbier" = white beer in Germany too, because during brewing it looks white from above) So that means cloudy. Get the yeast out, it carries the most important aromas. You can see the yeast from the outside of the bottle, it collects on the bottom of the bottle. (That's why canning wheat beer is a stupid idea from the customer's POV.)

    German wheat or wheat beer is a top-fermented beer that is made with top-fermented yeast from wheat malt (over 50%) and also uses barley malt, the only one in Europe. The top-fermenting yeast differs from bottom-fermenting yeast (used for all bottom-fermenting beers such as Pils, Export, Märzen, etc.), which therefore taste different.

  • @horstschattenhirn9081

    for the real experience of different german beers it's mandatory to use the right glass (or beerstein in case of a Doppelbock like the Andechser or an "Export" (lager)). You haven't tried a "Kristall-Weizen" which is a 10/10 ice-cold with a slice of lemon on a hot day, or a "Berliner Weisse mit Schuss" that has to be seved in a special glass with a shot of either raspberry or "Waldmeister" (woodruff) syrup - that's s/th for the ladies maybe. A Hefeweizen (dark or light) must be poured entirely to get the yeast out of the bottle for it often settles at the bottom. There are so much more types of beers in Germany: Rauchbier (smoke beer), Schwarzbier (black beer), Altbier (old-beer), Märzen (cause it's made early in the year in March) and the list goes on. You'll find everything from hoppy bitter to heavily sweet, and these are only the traditonal made ones. And more often than not the small breweries have the really really good stuff. Hard to come by in the States, though.
    Btw. nobody really likes Kölsch (the "light" beer in the red can) it simply tastes like nothing and if you drink 5 you have to piss 10.

    For five of the six beers in your lineup, many Germans choose one thing, rarely using anything else. If someone likes Bavarian-style light beers (Nr. 6), he will generally rarely drink pilsner (Nr. 3) or wheat beers (Nr. 1 and 4). Kölsch (Nr. 5) is a local type of beer from Cologne, so its inhabitants will most likely drink it, ignoring all others. I can see that you prefer pilsner, so the others aren't that interesting to you. And the evaluation of the doppelbock from Andechs as the worst in taste can also be explained by subjective taste. Doppelbock is definitely the farthest away from pilsner in terms of flavor. However, I would like to say that doppelbocks are a completely separate category of beer that goes down particularly well in winter. One of the best impressions of a visit to the Christmas market in Munich is to walk around all the stands on the cold Marienplatz and then go to the "Andechser am Dom" and have a glass of doppelbock in the warmth.

    As a German I think most of our beer is quite good. But as always there are some better and worse. And for sure there is the subjective taste. We have the "Reinheitsgebot" maybe translated as "purity law", this means "beer" must be brewed with water, hop, malt (and yeast) only.. no additional flavour, and so on. So if someone likes some flavoured beer or "artificially boosted taste", then probably he will be disappointed by German beer.
    In Germany beer is treated like food. And we like to drink rather healthy than with additional ingredients. Lot´s of breweries. The beer shop in your small village claims to have more than 250 kind of (mainly local) different beers available.

Wales, England, Scotland, N Ireland. we have a wide range small company's brewing some very good beers. if ever in uk small local pubs very often have a few special beers on offer brewed local to area so we sure have much to offer, try the craft not the mass produced factory made stuff. you did like the mass produced Boddingtons so not all mass produced are bad but for the true British beer you need to try the craft beers. total number of active brewers as 1828 as of the first January 2023 so you got lots options, id try find few from each country. lot darker ales we Call it Cellar temperature best to drink it, not warm but also not to cold, Traditional British (cask) beer is typically designed to be at its best when served at “cellar temperature” - around 12-13 degrees Celsius (about 55 degrees Fahrenheit).

    It is world-famous and on everyone's lips: our Purity Law. In 2016, the Reinheitsgebot celebrates its 500th birthday. The Purity Law was enacted in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, on April 23, 1516, by Dukes Wilhelm IV and Ludwig X as part of a state order. Initially, the Purity Law applied only to the Duchy of Bavaria, but after its promulgation on April 23, 1516, it was adopted by more and more states and has been the law in force throughout Germany since 1906.
    The Purity Law stipulates that only water, malt, hops and yeast may be used to produce beer. It stands for the preservation of a time-honored craft technique and is also considered the oldest food law regulation in the world that is still valid today. In Germany, this has developed over centuries into an art of brewing that is respected worldwide: Day after day, over 1,500 German breweries use just four natural ingredients to create a globally unique variety of over 40 different types and around 7,000 individual beer brands.
    That's why it's a good beer.

    Please, if you want to test beer for its palatable value, don't drink it out of cans. Directly from the barrel is by far the best, but obviously not always available. Out of glass bottles is second best, by a large margin. Cans - only if you're an alcoholic and have nothing else to drink.
    Puring Hefeweizen is an art form in itself. The relevant taste inducing ingredients are at the bottom of the bottle or (Heavens prevent) can. Also, Hefeweizen is an acquired taste, it has a very distinctive and different taste than other beers.
    Last but not least - you are aware that there are over 1,500 breweries in little old Germany? You haven't even pinched the tip of that iceberg.

    We are looking at 1000 years of brewing experience. What do you expect? Everyone will find a beer that he likes in Germany. We have over a thousand breweries. Let's get some insight to the beers.
    1. Hefe Weizen is wheat beer it is made with yeast (Hefe).
    2. The Andechs monastery is famous for their beer cellar. Go there an take a Doppelbock-Dunkel 1 litre Maß. :)
    3. Einbecker is a typical Pilsner kind of beer.
    4. Same as number one just from another brewery.
    5. Kölsch is a beer which is only allowed to be brewed in Cologne (Köln). It is a light beer and you will only get small glasses with 200 ml but every time the glas is empty, your Köbes (waiter in Cologne slang) will bring you a new one. He will stop only if you put your coaster on your glas. So it is an Opt-out.
    6. Lager beer from Weihenstephan, as you said the oldest brewery.

      Sir, calling Andechs Doppelbock a dud is harsh, to say the least. If I were to drink beers during the sweltering Alabama heat, the Andechs DB would not even be on the menu. It is a very good doppelbock and as such is to be enjoyed during a cold winter day. These beers were initially made as a cheat mode for monks not to break fast when indeed the beer offered the sustenance of a full meal.

    Good reaction vid! I come from a German family, mom was from the Bavarian 'state', Aichach was the city - so I'm familiar with all of these beers (and so, SO many more)! I'm of the mind that there really isn't a bad beer in Germany. Not sure if it has anything to do with their Beer Purity Law (beer can only have 4 ingredients - water, hops, yeast & barley/wheat) - no additional preservatives, rice, flavourings, etc. Sure there are some I prefer the taste of (DAB, Warsteiner, and others, including a few you tried), but I've never had one where I said "I can't drink that".
