We'll give the Weihenstephaner a solid 10/10. Of course we might be biased. 🙂 Thanks a lot for tasting our Helles, really appreciate you taking the time.
Oida servus Weihenstephan 😂
Na über kostenlose Werbung kann man sich schon freuen ❤
Es sei Euch gegönnt 😊
please send me the st bernardus collab.
yoa da freut sich die marketing Abteilung mal xD
Absolutely on that 10/10. I drink that beer on a regular basis. I only drink beer from Europe. Some Czech and some from Poland but the vast majority is German. Huge thanks to Weihenstaphner for making such awesome pure beers. American beer sucks. Bud and Miller ruin everything they get their greedy hands on. I tried the gauntlet of craft beer and grew tired of paying $20 for someone’s gimmicks and stupid names for the beer. All I wanted was a really really well done beer and I found them in Europe.
1 Uhr morgens und ich schaue 3 Amerikanern zu, wie sie deutsches Bier trinken. Das Leben ist gut.

As there are approx 6000 kinds of beer in Germany, only 5997 more to go..... Have a good time! Enjoy!
That’s amazing 🤩 I hope to try many many more 🎉
@@IWrocker might be impossible to get them and even then they may not really taste that good. You must make a trip to Munich :D Lot of breweries in the area and some Beer simply only tastes perfect on the spot :D
@@IWrocker If you find a beer with "Bock" or "Doppelbock" on it, be reaaaally careful, they have a solid amount of alcohol in them
Even IN Germany it's not easy to get your hands on all of these, though. There are a lot that I don't even like but there are so many - and very different ones - that there also going to be a lot that you like. (Augustinerbräu Pilsener in my case)
I hope we can say the same with Gras soon 😄
As a German, it's funny to me, to give canned Beer 10s... now i want to see how you guys react to beer out of glas bottles or better, out of the barrel.
Immer vom fass!
yeah, to be honest they would be bound by their local supplier if they can get the beers in glass bottles. The "Helles" have a harder time , while the "Hefeweizen" for me doesn't degrade at all in a can and even makes it easy for novice drinkers, because the "Hefe" should be better mixed in a can. A good "Helles" or "Vollbier" will be drinkable out of the bottle, "Hefeweizen" should always be served in an appropriate glass.
Augustiner aus dem Fass und das Leben ist schön.
Actually, Can is the 2nd best way to enjoy beer after draft. The idea that beers keep better in bottles is not true, and you can find quality beers nowadays from unique breweries in cans. Exception may be Trappist beers because the bottling is part of the last fermentation cycle of a tripel.
Ist gesellschaftlich vielleicht nicht so angesehen aber es gibt gleich nach dem Fass kein besseres Behältniss für bier als die Dose die Flasche kann den geschmack nicht so halten wie eine Dose.
Prost/Cheers from Germany. Sitting in my car right in the middle of Munich @ 1 am watching you guys drinking our bavarian beer (aside from Becks)❤😂
You guys gotta try "Augustiner Hell", "Tegernseer Hell" and "Paulaner Salvator"
When we visited Munich for Oktoberfest in 2019 we went to the Augustiner tent and their Märzen was amazing
Die Brauereien die du aufgezählt hast, sind doch genauso Massenbier und haben kein Geschmack. Gibt soo viele bessere kleine brauerein Bayern die 1000 mal besser schmecken. Aber ja Münchner halt :D

Becks is like the McDonald's of german beers.
Good comparison. If you need to choose a beer for 100 people you go with Becks or Krombacher: nobody loves it, but nobody will spit it out. It's common ground.
Most of the German beers are made following the Pilsener way. It's a technique developed in Pilsen.
@@danielrauer5864 those are fine beers if you want nothing speciale and just want to drink. A bit bland but that makes it excellent drinking beers.
Ja, solange er kein "Faxe" probiert...
That's about right. In northern Germany, people drink more pilsner than Bavarian lager or wheat beer. I personally don't like Becks, there are much better beers in northern Germany, but they were the first to export it worldwide. I think most Becks is drunk abroad by German vacationers when there is no good local beer 😉.
By the way - his sentence "It's drinkable" is already considered a compliment in Germany. 🤣
Got this video randomly in my suggestions and had to watch it all the way through - so nice and wholesome, really liked you guys' reactions! Best wishes from Germany. And, of course: Prost! 😊🍺
You guys killed it on your first two choices, Paulaner and Weihenstephaner are both great breweries. Their Pilsners are really awesome, you should try them... Becks was brewed in Germany for 140yrs. Anheuser-Busch bought it in 2008 and brews it in St. Louis.
Becks ist pisse aus der hölle
I am from germany, and it is so much fun watching you guys taste this beer! Prost!
its like showing Christoph Columbus America a complete new world
total ich hab es gefeiert XD, ich sag mal PROST haha
Wieso haste dir dann nicht meine beer reviews reingezogen?:D
Das US Bier ist ja nicht trinkbar... Ich hätte ja nicht gedacht, dass das Becks (so sauer und bitter) so einen Ankang finden würde...

@@IWrocker I from Spain and is incredible to see how in the usa Spanish an English are used at the same time. After all the worse past from England and Spain is good too see our
cousins being family. Hope you will taste Spanish beer as well! We have several brands!
Top dude!
Are you going to do some British beer. If not you should and not just lager. Don't include Guinness that's Irish. Also maybe for the future you could try some cider, alcoholic of course.
I really love the dynamic of you guys! It"s all really genuine, it's really enjoyable. I watched a lot of your rally related videos, and I like seeing you in a different setting! You seem like the kind of guy I'd enjoy having a beer with. Cheers to you from Quebec!
Congratulations on getting so many views! As a long time Aussie viewer It’s cool seeing your dive into other cultures and countries too.
it's Hefe-Weissbier. That means, there's yeast (Hefe) in it. It set down at the bottom. You always have to pour the entire can / bottle and shake up the last bit with the yeast on the bottom. You missed half of the experience by drinking it clear.
Also, you're drinking export quality batches there. Paulaner Hefeweißbier is very average, export quality is below that. You really should get your hands on the real thing.
Also, a slice of lemon goes well with it.
completely agree..
erdinger dunkles hefeweißbier.
@@robertheinrich2994 i would prefer Printzregent Luitpold helles or Koenig Ludwig Dunkel
Plenty of other brands that make it Paulaner is pretty ok but not the best one ive gotten. And no don't ask me wich one is the best because i usualy just drink the locale one when i'm in Germany and i'm not fantatic about it they all taste fine i jsut know i tasted better ones.
Enjoyed watching. Thank you for posting.
If you want to test German beer, it must also be brewed according to the German Purity Law, which can only contain 4 ingredients. Namely water, hops, malt and yeast.
Beck's is manufactured under license in many places around the world. Usually has nothing to do with the German purity law.
By the way in Germany we have all in all 1492 breweries.
As a german it warms my heart to see americans drinking good Beer for once
same digga
Shots fired
It seems that even in American There are men of culture 😏
ich hoffe so hart das die es klat trinken
Good beer and Becks.
You did quite a good selection for this video, as you picked three totally different kinds of beers.
Weihenstephaner Helles is a light (colored) beer, typically smooth in taste and quite süffig (drinkable).
Paulaner Weißbier is a "white beer" or wheat beer which is brewed from different ingredients. There is two types of wheat beers, so called crystall wheat beer and yeast wheat beer and you most probably tasted the latter. This is also where the cloudy coloring of the beer comes from.
Becks is a typical Northern German Pilsener beer which has a distinctive and characteristic bitterness.
These three types cover the majority of beer types in Germany, although there are additional types like dark beer and smoky beer as well.
True, this are 3 totally different kinds of beer, regulary you cant compare them to each other. And, if its possible, you should get the beers in bottles. Especially the wheat beer, youve special beer glasses for it and you dont put it at once in such a glas. you shake/turn the last bit of the beer in the bottle and pour it then into the glas, to get the yeast from the bottom.
dont forget the steam beers and absolutely dont forget .... vikings met... beer with honey
Becks Brewery has been sold to Anheuser Busch, the Belgian/Brasilian Company that also owns Bud light, Budwiser and so on.
@@FreakDeagle Met isn't a type of beer, it's a wine made from honey.
@@alexu2577 Youre right, but im right too, im selling beer as a job. Yes there is met beer
What a lovely authentic video!
Seeing this fine family of different heritages creating content together just warms my heart. Prost from germany!
This video put a smile to my face :) Greetings from Germany and God bless you.
God dont blessed alcoholics or drug people. Germany is a drug Country ,they sell alcohol to Kids and they Drink IT all dasy.
Hallo from Germany! You guys reacted so lovely! I also adore the generational aspect.
Hefeweizen is poured in a particular way: the glass is held at as much of an angle as possible to delay the formation of foam for as long as possible. Before all the beer is in the glass, the bottle or even the can is swirled back and forth to loosen the yeast from the bottom. Then pour it into the glass together with the last of the beer.
Best Wishes from Kiel^^
Prost we say or Zum Wohl - nice video greetings from Germany
So sieht’s aus
maybe a little ironic... from a kieler jung ;)
@@philippciunis Die Kieler Deern sagt:,, Gern geschehen!"

Helles is a type of beer that is generally softer in taste and often a little “sweeter” than other types of beer.
"like a cloud" and "liquid gold" 🤣
I like that!
Because for me as a German, I can definitely relate, those were the exact same words in German of cause, that came out of my mouth so many times!
Beer is not for getting drunk. This is a symphony. And each beer and every brand in it's own way! That is what makes the Reinheitsgebot special, because everyone has to use the same ingredients and it is so different for everyone. But no matter what you prefer, it is awesome. 😊😊
But I appreciate the effort with the glasses and rinsing it and sharing! 👍
I'm English and have lived and worked in Munich on several assignments. Once you've had proper Bavarian beer, it ruins you for drinking the lager offered in the bar/pub at home.
You'll never have the same appreciation for your domestic beer again.
Come on, sometimes a pint of guiness or kilkenny is quite ok, isn't it?
In the UK in pubs you can drink not only lagers IPA APA etc are great
I was in Dublin once, and was pretty hiped up to try the famous Guinness. Havent had it before. And it just sucked compared to the dark beers Served here. Lackes deepness, malty sweetness. Just not enough body, and to me, it left a Taste of clams on my tongue. Way better in Germany switzerland and Austria. The Beer trinity for me.
@@eagle1de227 Or an Old Peculiar. I'm German BTW.
agree
I am German as well and I have never tried US beer before. And after that I don't want to anymore.
That "6% be careful guys!!" had me on the floor laughing😂
the 6% had me rollin as well 😂 greetings from your neighbor Switzerland!
Da hast du nichts versäumt...Bier in/ aus der US ist einfach nur Plörre...😖
As a brazilian that my go to beer is a particular brand thats 8.6% i jut cant imagine drinking a 2.3% 3.2% like the ones they mentioned...
What will they say to Faxe with 10%😂
The beers from northern Germany are rather sharp (becks from bremen or also Jever) and the Bavarian beers have a rather smooth and round Taste. If you liked paulaner Hefeweizen so much, you REAAAALLY should try Erdinger Weißbier. The taste is incredible, we love drinking it in summer
I want to see them try Jever😂
Guys i am from germany, watching you guys drink these beers brought a smile to my face ! many greetings from germany !!!
German Hefeweizen, or wheat beer, is known for its cloudy appearance due to the presence of yeast and proteins. Unlike many other beer styles that undergo filtration to remove these particles, Hefeweizen is intentionally left unfiltered. The yeast, along with proteins from the wheat malt, remains suspended in the beer, creating a hazy or cloudy look.
This characteristic cloudiness is not a flaw but rather a defining feature of Hefeweizen. It contributes to the beer's unique flavor profile, imparting a refreshing and fruity taste. The yeast also adds a slight effervescence, making it a favorite among beer enthusiasts.
So, in essence, the haziness of German Hefeweizen is a deliberate choice by brewers to enhance the beer's taste and mouthfeel.
Becks is from the north of Germany and is known for its bitterness or tartness which is quite popular among the coastal people in the north.
I like that they experience something very German/Austrian: that people either love Hefeweizen or just hate it - there´s like nothing in between 😂😂😂
get a GUTMANN HEFEWEIZEN and then pour it in a wheat glass and follow the instructions on youtube how to pour it! and then we are talking. also becks is considered something that you would drink if nothing else is srsly available
@@florians.1905
I'm from the north, and I hate it, while my dad almost doesn't drink any other beer. I've never met anyone yet just saying "Meh. It's alright". When it comes to Hefeweizen, you're all in or all out.
@@florians.1905 So true Florian. I wanted to write that there is a north-south divide when it comes to which flavours one prefers.
@@dan_kayThis is so true! I just can't get into wheat beer. I keep trying and wanting to like it but to no avail, it makes me feel sick lol
I´m from Germany, first...great video :) second: The Paulaner Hefe Weizen is a yeast wheat beer, that´s what "Hefe Weizen" stands for. Ever single Hefe Weizen in Germany has that cloudy appearance. Personally it´s my favourite sort of beer, because it´s so damn smooth. PROST!
In fact not every single one there is also a type called Champagner Weizen or Kristall Weizen which is clear Hefeweizen
its called wheat beer ^^
@@anthrax__ yeah but the correct translation is yeast wheat because that means "Hefe Weizen" word for word
God, you are all so lovelly together, very wholesome stuff. Glad you appreciate the beer from my home state Bavaria 🇩🇪 🇺🇸
Sehr cooles Video ich habe herzhaft gelacht :) . Habt ihr gut gemacht 👍🏼
Great selection of beers.
The "Helles" is a very popular type of beer in southern Germany and Austria, it's also what is usually at the Oktoberfest (and similar events) in a "Maßkrug". (A "Maßkrug" will fit two of those cans)
It has a mild flavor and is therefore considered as the smallest common denominator be some. Depending on the brewery the flavor profile can vary from complex or simple. If you mix equal parts of "Helles" and Sprite (or similar) you'll get what we call a "Radler". It's great on a hot summer day.
The second one is a type called "Weizen" or sometimes "Weißbier" and mostly popular in southern Germany. Its made from wheat instead of barley which gives it a very unique flavor. Unlike most other beers the yeast is not removed after brewing, which gives it that cloudy look and also contributes to the taste. On special occasion people will drink it alongside their "Weißwurstfrühstück" for breakfast. It consists of fatty, mild boiled sausages that are eaten with sweet mustard and fresh pretzels from a bakery on the side.
Fun Fact: The "Weizen" ist actually the reason the "Reinheitsgebot" was invented. When it was invented in the middle ages the idea was that people shouldn't waste ht valuable wheat on beer and instead should only use the cheaper barley. So with the "Reinheitsgebot" the ingredients for beer were limited to water, yeast, barley and hops. It's not legally binding anymore, so "Weizen" can be sold as beer, but you can't its brewed according to the "Reinheitsgebot". Which is still a marketing term many brewers like to use for their other beers.
The (green) "Beck's" is brewed in the style of a "Pils" or "Pilsener". From what I was told most beers in the US are "Pilsner" or brewed very similar. It's typically made with a more hops than other beers, which gives it that bitter flavor.
The three beers are all from industrial size breweries. They are definitely not bad, but if you'd ask a German they would likely describe it as "nothing special". The micro brewery trend has never caught on in Germany, because we have had something similar way before that. Pretty much everywhere you are in Germany there will be a couple of small to medium sized breweries, they usually only supply supermarkets in a 10-30 mile radius. If you'd ask any German what their favorite beer is, their answer would likely be a beer from one of their local breweries.
If you can, try one of these. They often have a more complex flavor and generally higher quality. The best thing is the beers from these small breweries cost about the same as the beers from the bigger brands. It's pretty much the same for Austria as well. Many small breweries with affordable, high quality beer.
Mittlerweile bekommt man auch in Berlin in jedem Spätkauf Augustiner, Bayreuther etc. Zum Glück. Am Anfang war das echt ein Problem und das was Hellem am nächsten kam war Sternburger Export... Wenn man in der Kneipe Fassbier bestellt, bekommt man meist immer noch Pilsener in 0,5 Liter Gläsern... Das werde ich nie verstehen. Nach 2,5 Liter Pils und ein paar Zigaretten hab ich ein heftigeres Pappmaul als wie nach 5 Bongköpfen. Helles hat definitiv seine Daseinsberechtigung, ist in der Kneipenkultur, außerhalb von Bayern, jedoch noch stark unterrepräsentiert.
Alles in allem merkt man stark, dass du in Bayern lebst und auch wenn bayrische Kulinarik das ist, was meistens in anderen Ländern mit deutscher Ess- und Trinkkultur asoziiert wird solltest du nicht vergessen, dass nördlich vom Weißwurstäquator nieman Weißwurstfrühstück macht und es denn meisten Leuten ziemlich auf den Keks geht, dass im Ausland gedacht wird Deutsch = Bayrisch...
Und ich kenne die Begründung des Reinheitsgebots auch so, dass die Leute früher alle möglichen Nachtschattengewächse wie Bilsenkraut, Tollkirsche etc. ins Bier gepanscht haben und die Leute reihenweise abgedreht sind. Hat auch mit Agrarwirtschaft und Steuern zu tun, aber grundsätzlich kann man das Reinheitsgebot als erstes Lebensmittelgesetz sehen, das heute bei allen Konsumwaren gilt, insbesondere bei Medikamenten. Du bekommst was drauf steht und nicht weniger oder zusätzlich dazu irgendeinen Blödsinn denn man nicht haben will.
Radler ist nicht mal an einem Warmen Sommer Tag gut. Ich trink eher warmes bier bevor ich diesen Mist angreife
Alsob ein Maß nur nen Liter ist?
Eine Maß ist ein Liter, ja. Radler kenne ich (in Norddeutschland) als Mischung aus Sprite und Pils. (Radler ist natürlich kein Alkohol oder gar Bier, aber als Limonade ganz lecker.)
Ein paar Anmerkungen zu deiner Ausführung:
1. Der Style des BJCP 10A Weissbier, 10B Dunkles Weissbier und 10C Weizenbock hat sowohl von der BJCP, als auch vom Bayrischen Reinheitsgebot die Vorgabe aus mindestens 50% Weizenmalz eingemaischt worden zu sein. 100% Weizenmalz in der Schüttung wird keine Brauerei mitmachen, da Weizenmalz keine gute Diastatik hat und sich die Maische fast nicht läutern lässt und eine große Brauerei damit fast 0% Prozesssicherheit hat. Des Weiteren wird Weizenbier traditionell durch Flaschengärung karbonisiert, das bedeutet das fertig endvergorene Bier wird mit einer kleinen Portion Zucker in die Flasche gefüllt und verschlossen. Die kleine Zuckerportion (Bei Weizen ca. 6-10g/l) sorgt dafür, dass die noch im Bier vorhandene, lebende Hefe wieder aktiv wird und den Zucker in Ethanol und CO2 umwandelt. Das entstehende CO2 kann dadurch, dass die Flasche verschlossen ist nicht entweichen, was den Flaschendruck erhöht und das CO2 zwingt in Lösung zu verbleiben. So entsteht auch nach Vergärung des verbleibenden Karbonisierungszuckers der kleine Hefeteppich am Flaschenboden. Andere Biere werden zwangskarbonisiert und mit Gegendruckabfüllung in die Flasche gebracht, was eine Nachgärung überflüssig macht.
2. Das Reinheitsgebot existiert erst seit 1918, alles was es davor gab waren "Brauverordnungen" und insbesondere die Brauverordnung von der du sprichst, im Zusammenhang mit Weizenbier hat nichts mit Qualität, oder Verschwendung von Weizen zu tun. Es war viel mehr der erste Fall von Monopolisierung durch Vetternwirtschaft bei Bier.
Albrecht V, Sohn von Wilhelm IV, nutzte die Brauverordnung um allen das Brauen mit Weizen zu verbieten, mit Ausnahme der Adelsfamilie Degenberg. Somit lag die Produktion und der gesamte Gewinn im Weizenbier-Markt in der Hand einer einzigen Familie und das mit dem besten Segen des Herzogs.
3. Die meißten in den USA industriell hergestellten Biere sind BJCP 1A American Light Lager und 1B American Lager und haben im Grunde nichts mit einem 5D German Pilsner zu tun.
4. Der Mikro- und Kleinbrauerei Trend ist in Deutschland so stark wie nie zuvor. Während alteingesessene Industrieproduzenten um ihren Gewinn bangen, haben in den letzten 5 Jahren so viele umsatzstarke Mikrobrauereien aufgemacht wie noch nie zuvor.
I'm glad to see that you like it, unfortunately I've never drank American beer myself and would like to drink a few. I have 4 of my favorite beers from the south of Bavaria that you would like to try. (I'm currently drinking a beer myself and saw you enjoying the beer :D) Franziskaner Weissbier, Berchtesgadener Hell, Berchtesgadener Jubiläumsbier, Schönramer Hell.
Great video! Try Sternburg next time too, its either you love or hate it
Weizen is pretty much completely different from pils or lager, it uses a different kind of yeast and a different type of grain (Weizen or wheat instead of Gerste or barley) - or at least as different as the German Reinheitsgebot/purity law allows. There are a lot of different yeasts, but there are two major categories. One rises (obergärig - roughly translated: top-fermenting), one drops down to the bottom (untergärig, bottom-fermenting). Traditional beers - like Weizen or "White-Beer", as it's also called, often used obergärige Hefe (top-fermenting yeast) in the somewhat distant past, because it likes somewhat higher temperatures and didn't need to be cooled (as much). Which was a bit harder in the past, having no electrical refrigeration. For bottom fermenting beers, you had to have cool cellars. And winter, preferably.
This is why "Weizen" is both a top-fermenting beer and a traditional summer drink - because you could also brew and enjoy it when it was warmer. There are some other traditional beers that were bottom fermenting, but those often had to be brewed during the winter, because it would go bad otherwise. Märzen (from März, as in the month march) had to be brewed in (or rather before) März (march), hence its name. It's the traditional Octoberfest-beer. Compared to the "Helles" (pale lager, Bavarian edition; which is also bottom-fermenting) it's a little more thicc, more malty, a little more potent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4rzen
Another traditional "obergäriges Bier" or top-fermenting beer is Kölsch btw. And it also tastes a lot different as pilseners/lagers do.
Of course, that all doesn't apply anymore, and you can get either type of beers whenever you like today. And of course there are regional differences. Bavaria - right in the south - being kind of the capital of "Weizen" (and Märzen, but so are some surrounding countries like Austria/Czech Republic, maybe more so today) while the north has more pilseners and stuff - but that also might be because of temperature and traditions. Btw. Can you smell banana when sniffing a Weizen? I almost always do - which seems weird. But you can actually drink your Weizen with Bananas, it's somewhat common in Germany. And it does taste pretty good. th-cam.com/video/Q5lYwaYkhOE/w-d-xo.html
The different yeasts also "eat" or convert different sugars and stuff, so a different yeast can make your beer taste quite different. It might affect the sourness, but I suspect some of the Paulaners "citrusy" comes from the type of hops they used. There are some kinds that taste a bit like citrus (other ones are bitter or tardy, some fresh, some flowery - there are lots of different types/strains). A somewhat known US strain is actually named for that: www.hopslist.com/hops/dual-purpose-hops/citra/
(though German brewers tend to call it "jack-of-all-trades, master of none")'
Prost!
really informative, thx!
Weizen is a Headache making Beer... i mix it often with a little shot of coke its called Kolaweizen
Pedro is great. He's like myself when it comes to beer. Every taste is liked, and usually a 10/10 score 😂
😂😂😂👍
I really like your spirit and positive attitude… big hugs from bohemian forest. It’s a pleasure to watch your content and from time to time it pets my souls.. from a German perspective 😂❤
Greetings from Germany...
Nice to see you guys like our beer...
Prost!!!
it is so nice to see that small things are making people happy
06:42 In Germany common ways of saying cheers is either "Prost" or "Zum Wohl" basically meaning "to your health"
Also: "Cheers"
or: als nei in de hohle kopp
"To your health" while drinking alcohol ... dafuq.
In english, "Prost" translates to " Cheers, "and it´s used as a toast to express good wishes or to drink to someone´s health. In Bavaria, we say beer is a common good, it should flow from the taps as a right for every person. 🍻
I grew up like in the middle of a lot of big bavarian beer breweries so i enjoyed watching this
greetings from germany, i really enjoyed the video.
just some remarks:
1. good choice, you hit the three main types of beer. becks is called pils or pilsener. it is a very typical beer in the north of germany and mostly on the more bitter side. helles is typical for the southern part and on a steep uprise in consumption allover germany. those are sweeter and „süffig“ (easily drinkable). weizen or also called weißbier (white beer) is a specific type of brewing technique. it has a lot of calories and makes hungry more than the other ones so you start eating salty and fatty foods. so be aware it makes you gain some pounds… 😉
2. weizen has a very polarizing type of taste. i do not like it but people who enjoy it usually do only drink this type of beer.
3. try to get some „bock bier“. alcohol gets up to 7 or 8 % and those beers do have a very wide range of tastes. some are more citrus / peach like flavours and some taste more like dark chocolate / plums. best ones are made in a brewery in the small city of einbeck, called „einbecker“. you should definitely try to get your hands on that stuff they are just awesome.
cheers and PROST! 😀
yes they should have try'd strong-beer. cause that really is a totally different experiece.
paulaner salvatore
some' diffent to us beer
Yeah, Bock is the best beer, the real deal. I for my part can't stand either Pils nor Weizen. With Helles and Dunkles it depends.
Very good points there! I think this info was missing from the video and is definitely worth adding, cause it makes comparing the beers kinda hard. Tasting three different Pils' against each other would have been a different story ...
well, pils differs a lot, i think. if you compare jever to krombacher it is a completely different taste. usually beer in green bottlea is more hoppy (is that the word?) and beer in brown bottles is more malty.
people who like helles usually tend to malty pils in brown bottles. it is less bitter. nevertheless the „green bottle beers“ are very suitable for hot summer barbecues. i highly recommend „einbecker brauherren pils“. it has a very fine hop-taste with some light lemon flavour. even more lemonish is „einbecker hanse bock“ that beer is absolutely worth trying! unfortunately it is very hard to get even in the region.
in the winter i recommend „einbecker winter bock“ and beer in brown bottles in general. if i‘d make a beer tasting winter bock and hanse bock would definitely be on the list.
maybe you try those?
Sollen die Amis sich mal richtig die Rinne verzinken und die Buche umfichten
I admit to be a bit amused at hearing 5% beer being called strong. In Europe I think that's pretty much the baseline. Most "regular" beers are in the 5-5.5 range, but you can easily get 7%. Some speciality beers go into the teens. Strongest one I've had was 14%, but they can go even higher.
Any alcohol percentage past 14-16 ish % requires distilling. Most brewers yeast dies at that point.
Yeah! 5% is kinda basic..you can say 7% it’s when you begin to notice it
Most regular beers are like 4.5% I believe. Even deliberately strong beer like Maibock usually only go up to 7.5%.
@@Mp57navyu ever heard about freezing the beer? Its a process of thickening beer and u can reach such levels.
my record is 18%. some belgian quadrupel. but basic lithuanian beer is 5.2-5.5. all those lights are for kids :)
Never had the Weihenstephaner Helles (a clear beer) but rather the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier and the Kristall Weissbier. The Kristall is the clear filter version of the hefeweissbier, and it's a bit lighter where the unfiltered beer is a bit heavier in taste.
I still recommend you to try these two different Weihenstephaners. Especially the Hefeweissbier is mostly sold around here in Europe.
Also add the Franziskaner Weissbier, as that's also good.
It's so intresting that you guys has totally different opinions about the beers. It looked like last beer reminded the oldest guy about some taste memory or just a memory overall. Good video guys! Cheers!🎉
When you talking about "goes down easy;smooth;sweet", we in germany call it "süffig" it describes how easy and pleasant an alcoholic drink is to drink!
I never tried american beer but if you gave the Bud a 5, i might not have to ;)
Love the reaction!

that translates to succulent :)
My Dad is American, American Beer is basically water for us Germans. I do not like it at all.
@@itshaze834 ah ... so more in the direction of Kölsch (oh oh ... I'm about to get hit as Cologne ...)
... Pilsner drinkers like to refer to Kölsch as 'dishwater' - but let's be honest - if you stick to one type, it doesn't matter what you drink after the 3rd.
I'm glad that you like German beer so much... and there are many, many varieties from over 1,500 breweries! Greetings from Germany 🍺 🇩🇪
We are instant fans, very impressed with these German beers. Can’t wait to try more 🎉
@@IWrockerI bet if you would give a shipping adress, lots of germans would send you beer. We love our beer and we love to hear good things about it😅.
@@IWrocker The color you like so much comes from the fact that Paulaner is not filtered and so I have to have the natural color. and Paulaner alone has 21 types of beer in its range and types of lemonade, orange and lemon. Greetings from Rostock
Proooooooooooost!!!!!
I enjoyed watching you. But a little tip from Germany: You drink the beer from Hefeweizen glasses. With these glasses you don't clink glasses on the top edge, but with the thick, solid base of the glass.
very sympatic video. i am from Bavaria Germany and i love to see you hyping the beer :)
The Hefe-Weizen is with yeast. This settles at the bottom of the can or bottle. In order to have even more flavor in the beer, you have to swirl the can or bottle at the end to distribute the yeast in the beer. Best regards :)
Weihenstephaner Helles. Brewed since 1040.
America: discovered 1492... :)
your video: i love your way how you did this tasting - so funny and so emotional with so much enthusiasm and happyness! 10 out of 10 for you guys!
The Weizenbier (the second one) is a beer which is normally only drunk in southern Germany and primarily in Bavaria. It's a kind of Bavarian specialty.
in 16 years, its a thousand years old that is insane..
"The Weizenbier (the second one) is a beer which is normally only drunk in southern Germany and primarily in Bavaria."
As someone living in northwest germany, i can deny that. It's not too uncommon and you can get it pretty much everywhere.
I do prefer it over regular beer usually and like it with a splash of banana juice.

I loved your reaction to the wheat beer. Very heartwarming. I see this often with people having wheat beer for the very first time, and I guess that is because it is so different from the beer most people are used to.
Also, even though most likely by accident, I think your Beer choices were pretty good. While all brands may not be the very best choice for each type of beer, you had a Pilsner, a Wheat beer, and a Helles which is a really good first step to understanding German beer culture.
^Completely agree.
This was really fun to watch, Prost!
@iwrocker - you should check the different forms of brewing. there is "obergärig" and "Untergärig" . Also there is the "deutsches reinheitsgebot" which is pretty important regarding german beer
The whole way how you presented this is so heartwarming and positive, very well done!

When I was in the USA I was amazed that you guys actually had some German beers available. Sadly (at least for my opinion), it was only the big brands that are mostly drank at festivals because they’re the only option available. Smaller local breweries make much better beer, but often times are not available farther away. On top of that, the beers vastly differ in every region. Guess you’ll probably need to take a few months and tour Germany to get a fair taste 😉
Your favorite Beer was not just the Paulaner, it was the Hefeweizen Beer in generally. BTW: Weihenstephan not only makes Helles, they also have a very good Hefeweizen in their product line. Hefeweizen itself comes also in different types. I think, you had the "naturtrüb" ( engl. cloudy), it also comes in "Kristall" ( engl. clear) and "Dunkel" (dark). If you like Paulaner Hefeweizen and you can find the dark version of it in the US, you should definitely try it.
Greetings from Germany.
Paulaner Hefeweizen is typically not served in cans but in 0.5 litre bottles. Drinking Weizenbier from a can is sort of a sacrilege for me.
There are special Weizenbeerglasses that hold the full 0.5 litre. Weizenbeer comes in two basic variants (from many breweries):
- Kristallweizen ('Crystal Wheat') which is crystal clear, as the name suggests.
- Hefeweizen with yeast in it, which has an opaque color. This is what you had.
Greetings from German.
as a german i found this video very enjoyable. yall are super chill
Some background on the beers you drank. The first one, Weihenstephaner Helles is what they call a Märzen, after the month March. Back in the middle ages brewers in Bavaria weren't allowed to fire their wood burning kettles during summer in the cities because of the fire hazard. So they brewed a lot of filtered, bottom fermenting beer in March that they could keep during the summer in the beer cellar underneath the beergardens, then in September start brewing again, open the doors to the beer cellar to raise the temperature and let the leftover Märzen become a nice strong beer ready for a certain party in October.
The second, Paulaner Hefe Weizen is a traditional Bavarian unfiltered, top fermenting wheat beer. The wheat apposed to barley gives it it's cirtus note. The yeast gives the beer it's solid body and almost gives you the feeling of having had a sandwich after finishing your beer. The Hefeweizen is probably one of the most recognizable traditional Bavarian beer styles. Märzen is for sure traditional, but most areas in Europe will have similar lager style beers, the Hefeweizen is considered it's own category in the beer world, with for example a Kristalweizen (filtered) part of that category.
Becks is just an export German Pilsner, so a lager, hopped, filtered. Refreshing beer, but not much special, a Heineken or so, brewed for the global market that is gonna be ok everywhere. If you want to try a good German style pilsner, see if you can get Trumer pils. It's Austrian, but wins the beer worldcup consistently in that category.
Wooow, you’re really an expert- a big “Danke” for bringing the quality and culture into the discussion.
But - why did they choose Paulaner? It’s one of the most crappy stuff … ? Outside of Munich they’re flushing the loo with it :-)
I could have recommended a couple of way better beers which are even available in the US (ok, pricy, I agree, but available:-))
Sorry, but a "Helles" ist just a Helles, not a Märzen. Maybe you confused this with "Festbier" (Like what they serve atOktoberfest, which is often a Märzen or at least has it origins from Märzen)
@@martinheinz160 Technically you're correct, as in a "Helles" is not a beer style, it's a colour, similar to "blond" in English. So a blond wheat bear or a pilsner can be called a "Helles" as well. In my experience however, if people want a "Helles" in most cases they want a Märzen.
@@ralf-peterberg1083 Thank you. It's exactly the culture and history of beers that moved me to make my profession of beers.
As for the choice of Paulaner, I think they didn't have a lot of choice. Especially unfiltered beers are quite risky to transport over huge distances, as the yeast inside can react badly to big air pressure and temperature changes. That plus that the US health and safety laws for a long time didn't even allow "living" beers to be imported, so a lot of companies simply don't have their networks set up, and by the time the borders went open, the micro brew scenery started to develop and saturated the market.
@@haribo836 I have to admit that you realy confused me with your answer, where do you get a Märzen when you order a Helles? Might it be, that you are from Austria? Your Märzen is like the German Helles, but the German Märzen different from that (I recommend the Swabian ones, region around Ulm has some good ones). Helles has his Origins from märzen, but is certainly established as "Münchner Helles Lager Style" as its own beer Style. Best Greetings and happy to discuss any further with a beer together - whatever kind it is 🙂
As a US-german, believe me pouring out of a glass bottle....much better (500 ml/16.97 Us ounces!). I like how you guys enjoy it and have a cool female voice in the background. Cheers mates. Prost in german. Helles is my preferred beer for drinking with friends, Weizen is for quenching in summer. Pilsner is for mates with a soft for a bitter taste. Not my type of beer. Amazing your Spanish speaking friend. By the way is the green car in the back a Ford Granada?
Please try: Tegernsee Spezial, Arco Mooser Liesl Helles, Benediktiner Helles, Störtebeker Bernstein Weizen Bier or Keller Bier. Delicious! Have a good time!
German from Bremen here. I really enjoyed your taste test. I was baffled how baffled you were on wheatbeer :D
Concerning Becks. While going to university I worked at the tourist center for the Becks Brewery. Becks was an export only beer for a really really really long time. And not even sold on the German market but was explicitly brewed for the overseas market. The informal name became "key beer" because of the logo, which in the past used to be the seal of city of Bremen but Becks had to change it due to legal concerns.
You just get the magic of beer culture. Having great time with friends, getting tipsy and have a pleasure of drinking this amazing beers.😊
Prost from Austria, hope you enjoyed it. Great choice of beers btw, they pretty much cover the 3 core beer types of germany. Yet I recommend you trying a "Bock" or "Zwickl" beer.
Great content keep it up!
There is one more popular type, though only drunken (but in return almost exclusively) here in the west and scorned by the rest: Kölsch, which is somewhere in-between an ale and a lager. Mediocre from can or bottle but great fresh from the keg (and Mühlen, Reißdorf and especially Schreckenskammer are also fine from the bottle)
Bock😂😂😂 I want to see that 😂
@@andreamariagebhart9294 www.wirtschaftszeit.at/site/assets/files/40616/cb_bockbier_alle9_2.-detail.jpg
Doppelbock for a real good body bock.
It's so fun watching you haha, try "Potsdamer Stange" if you can get your hands on it
Thx for the effort folks, but let me explain something to you from a german/bavarian perspective and also approach towards beer.
You compared goods that can not be compared due to the different products inherit differences.
The "Weihenstephan" beer is called "helles bier".
The "Paulaner" beer is a "Weizembier".
The "Becks" is called a "Pils", the name Pils is referring towards the art of brewing this distintive kind of beer, first they came up with in the czech republik, namely in the town of pilsen.
The Weihenstephan beer has been made using hopfen, malz (malt) amd gerste, forgive me not knowing the english terminologiy. If in case your interested, google it up, you'll find it easy to translate.
The paulaner beer is a different breed altogether and this kind of beer is called "weizenbier".
They use different crops and a different way of brewing this stuff together and this is the reason the stuff perls almost like champaign does.
This difference is untergärig vs obergärig brauen, this is the process that creates those different appearances and tastes.
And hey, i hope you enjoyed your beers from where i come from, born and raised about 40min off Munich in the town of Augsburg, about half an hour/to 45min from the austrian border.....
And hey, i'm not drining any alcoholic stuff, still i kniw a lit about the good stuff.
Funfact: In Bavaria a beer is not regarded towards as being alcohol, even though it naturally does contain a fair amount of alcohol, they look at beer as being kind of food and thats that for them......can you believe that.
You will not find a canteen (say at bmw autoworkers for example, audi as well) where there isn't a beer automat.
Your not allowed to be drunk at the job but that doesn't mean your forbidden to drink a beer on the job, as long as you're not being srunk things are just fine. Also insurancewise....
Paulaner has been available from Aldi here in Australia a couple of times each year. For around the 'October Fest' time they had both bottles and these 500mL cans of HefeWeizen, but a bit earlier in the year had also ' Kristal Weizen' with 0% alcohol. Kristal = Crystal is for a filtered clear version of the Wheat beer. I find it is best as a cool drink, refreshment for those really hit summer days 30°C to 40°C, so up to over 100°F. At 0% also quantity to drink is safe, as no ways do you get drunk, can consume it on hot days and still be safe driving.
At other times thecakcoholic versions go well with afternoon barbeques. Presuming no driving later, as with 5% and up alcohol it is not too big volume to put you in trouble for DUI. especially as 0.5L or even 1L are typical glass volumes.
Both the Hefe (Yeast) version and the Kristal(Crystal) clear types are good, but as pure refreshment I like the clear over the cloudy versions. To me wheat beer is my preffered type for pure refreshment, other times I prefer "Pils" beers, but I steer clear of the like of 'Becks', of course you have little choice, needing to get what limited types you can get in US retail. I currently have 4 bottles and 8 cans of the Paulaner HefeWeizen and also 6 bottles 0% Kristal Weizen for our summer, sadly so far we have few days into high 30°C range, so not had much yet, just keeping some cold and ready.
In Germany about any village has own brewery, so there are hundreds of brands, and each part of Germany will have own major brands. Depending where you are will determine what major brands are most common. There are also many styles of beer, including some rather great special beers, including some like BOCK and DOUBLE BOCK, the latter being a stronger alcohol version of BOCK, with from memory well over 20% alcohol. BOCK is a thicker dark Meade like beer. Originally invented by monks for "Lent" fasting, where eating is forbidden but drinking allowed. On the rich BOCK beer they typically gained weight during the Lent fasting.
Beer flavours do vary. The one feature throughout Germany, only the basic 4 ingredients are allowed, a about 400 year old fixed rule. NO FUNNY ADDITIVES, bittering agents colour, stabilisers, preservatives, no chemical additives period. Nothing but pure water, hops, yeast, and relevant grain
Aldi Australia also selled 5LT kegs of paulaner HefeWeizen and paulaner münchner HELL Munich lager
Greetings from Upper Franconia (in the north of Bavaria). Nice to see you testing German beer. The first beer ("ein Helles") is, in my opinion, a tasty, mild beer. With the second beer ("Hefeweizen") it is important to stir up the "Hefe" that has settled at the bottom of the can (or bottle) a bit at the end. With the third beer (I suspect it is brewed in the style of a "Pils") it is actually the case that beers from the north of Germany are a bit bitter. A little tip: depending on the type of beer, there are different beer glasses that we use. - Anyway, it was very nice to see the video. Keep it up! Stay healthy! Greetings from Germany!
I completely forgot to say: “ Prost ! ” 😅
Second point is important! If the guys liked it without the best part on the bottom, they will be blown away by it when it is served right. 😊

Becks is a Pilsener, a Pilsener has a bitterness
Yes, that should be compared to Pilsener from Czech Republic or Zlatý Bažant from Slovakia. I recommend a blind test :)
@@MeTjube Pilsener is a bavarian beer created for Pilsen by a bavarian brewer from Vilshofen. It's not a czech beer.
@@torazoul I ment Pilsner Urquell obviously, sorry for typo.
@@MeTjube Pilsner Urquell is actually the first beer brewed with the Pilsner recipe which was created by the bavarian master brewer Joseph Groll from the bavarian town of Vilshofen. He and his family led the brewery until as late of 1902. The last Groll to lead the czech brewery was Johann Groll. All master brewers after his passing were czech and kept the traditional recipe faithfully until this day. A true piece of brewing history, a masterpiece and most importantly - a delicious beer.
It's a lager, isn't it?
As a Bavarian-born, I was sooo happy to see how much you liked the Weihenstephan and the Paulaner :D Makes me feel all kinds of warm and fuzzy inside to watch you guys appreciate this part of my culture.
idk man, those brands are like the mcdonalds of bavarian brands
@@pizzaente Well, in terms of how popular they are, yes. But I would say that both are actually pretty good beers. Weihenstephan may be a bit "boring" if you're used to your local more intense Helles, but still.
@Motorsheep Still, there are so many better Weizen out there, thats the great thing about bavaria, every,day or lets say, a lot of local breweries have amazing Weissbier
Ich hab die ganze Zeit diesen Werbejingle im Kopf gehabt während sie versuchten Weihenstephan auszusprechen. Diese helle singsang Frauenstimme "WeiHENstephAn"
Hi from Germany, the Paulaner was my faviurite beer for many years! Happy you liked it
I am a German from a wine area. Beer just after sports. Hefeweizen is the best (The second one they tried). Out of a glass bottle or a barrel under pressure and you have to take your time to pour it in. The wheat settles on the bottom of bottles and you have to shake it up.Then it clouds down in the glass. It's an art to make it right. I had to learn it during college as a bar tender. And please never a can. That's a no go.
The trio we didn‘t know we needed. Such a cool composition of guys👌🏼😂
Best regards from Germany. You have three different beers there. I have a tip for you. Before you drink, smell the beer - every beer smells different.
With yeast beer, you still have to swirl the yeast out of the can. That's why yeast beer is so cloudy.
Pale beer is palatable.
Hefebier is mild and drinkable.
Becks is very full of character and a little more bitter than the others.
Cheers - Prost! Best Regards from Bavaria. Danke für das Video. I like it.

@@olliwi So what, the boys had fun enjoying someone else's beer. They did it well, it was fun to watch them, that's the main thing!
I once did a beer testing with my german office friend. Went to a shop with rare brands and went out with about 10 different brands of strong beer. After the third one, we were absolutely positive every beer was the best.
If you ever have the chance to get your hands on a Rauchbier (smoked beer), especially from Bamberg, you have to try it. It’s made by smoking the hops and that’s giving the beer an exceptional taste.
It’s also an window to the medieval Europe, back then almost all beers where smoked beers because they needed to dry the hops and the easiest way was to smoke it. After the Industrial Revolution smoked beer almost disappeared only in Bamberg they still made smoked beer. So you could say that it’s truly medieval beer.
Fun fact: in the medieval times even children drank beer all the time because it was cleaner than water and thus healthier.
You had 3 different styles of German beer in your test.
The first one (Weihenstephaner) was a so called "Helles", the second one (Paulaner) was a "Weizen" or "Weissbier" and then last one (Becks) was a "Pils".
Depending on the area in Germany those types are more or less popular. In Munich, Bavaria or more general, in the south of Germany you mostly have Weissbier and Helles. In the northern area Pils is more popular.
Since I almost only drink Helles, I can only give you a recommendation for that type. For Helles you should try to get an Augustiner Helles or Augustiner Edelstoff.
Can confirm. Augustiner is very good.
Edelstoff is the best 😊🍻
As Giesinger net vergessen, Prost 🍻
Nice to see the whole family having a good time. And enjoying the beers. Keep it up. More videos. Precious. Cheers from Croatia.
In Bavaria they (sometimes) drink Paulaner (or in general... Hefeweizen) for breakfast.
Try it with a pretzel and - in case you can get it somewhere - "Weißwurst und Süßer Senf" (white sausage and sweet (caramelized) mustard).
The ratio is: 1 pretzel, 2 white sausages, 3 beer.
And to get the 11 out of 10 on nearly every beer in Germany: try it at the place of its origin, directly in a bar where they tap it from a barrel.
The taste of beer poured from a can, drank in a bottle or freshly tapped into the correct beer glass can be very different.
Thanks for your video, I really felt you drinking german beer :D
In case you ever visit Cologne in Germany, just send me a message and I will give you some tipps.
We have like 27 different brands of Kölsch here, so you might have a hard time picking the right ones :)
Keep up the good work and Prost from Germany
usually with hefe weizen, the "hefe" or yeast is at the bottom of the bottle. so usually after you poured most of the beer, you roll the bottle in your hand, so the rest of the liquid losens the yeast and then you pour the rest. the weizen should also be cloudy because of the yeast (like with the second one). there are crystal weizen that are not cloudy so maybe the first one was one of those. i really have no idea how its done with a can. honestly never seen a hefe weizen in a can. also in germany a popular drink is to mix hefe weizen with banana juice and it is surprisingly good and refreshing. especially on hot days.
PROST from southern germany! Nice video guys, fun to watch!

The thing about Becks is, I'm pretty sure the American version is different from the German one, as is usual for many products that are manufactured in different countries. Beer produced in Germany has to fall under the regulations of the "Reinheitsgebot", which sets a beer brewing standard in Germany. My advice for the authentic German beer experience, import the beer straight from Germany!
Das reinheitsgebot ist mittlerweile leider eher nur noch sowas wie ein Marketing Gag.. :D
@@Princess_Slimeball Wieso das bitte? Soweit ich weiß zählt das Reinheitsgebot nach wie vor. Die meisten Brauereien benutzen nicht mal Säure oder Lauge um den pH-Wert anzupassen. Wie kommst du drauf? Weil man vermehrt zu Hopfenextrakt bzw. Pellets greift? Das verstößt nicht zwangsläufig gegen das Reinheitsgebot.
@@Princess_Slimeballdas ist absolut kein Marketing gag das Reinheitsgebot ist gesetzlich geregelt und wird besonders bei den Bayern verdammt ernst genommen.
Aber auch die Tschechen müssten das noch in ihrer gesetzlichen Definition von bier haben
@@TectorThe Das Reinheitsgebot regelt soweit ich weiß nur welche Zutaten beim Brauen verwendet werden dürfen. Zum Brauen von Bier nach dem Reinheitsgebot dürfen nur Wasser, Malz, Hopfen und Hefe verwendet werden. Es regelt aber nicht wie sie erzeugt wurden. Also kann die Gerste oder der Hopfen zum beispiel mit Pestiziden behandelt worden sein, und noch Rückstände davon enthalten.
ja mag sein, aber die meisten Brauereien scheren sich nicht mehr so "Liebevoll" darum wie vielleicht früher mal. Hauptsache das Bier entspricht den mindesten Vorraussetzungen, damit sie das Reinheitsgebot auf die Dose/Flasche hauen können denn nur so dürfen sie es als "Bier" verkaufen.
Massenproduktion halt
Nicht falsch verstehen, aber ich denke mal das es den meisten Brauereien damals einfach wertvoller war als heute. Vorallem die alten Brauereien.
German beer can vary greatly in taste and color. From a very light, almost white color to deep black. You will often find more bitter beers in the north of Germany than in the south.
The flavors also differ simply due to the different brewing methods.
A Pils tastes different to a Kölsch. This is different from an Alt, which is different from a Bock or Doppelbock, which is different from a wheat beer and so on.
The alcohol content can also vary greatly: From less than 0.5% (so-called non-alcoholic beers) to Schorschbock 57 with a whopping 57.7% alcohol! Yes, 57.7%... That wasn't a spelling mistake. Due to the special production method, it is also one of the most expensive beers (if not the most expensive one) in Germany.
The 0.04 liter bottle costs € 39.95. A 0.33 liter bottle of Schorschbock 57 recently cost € 299.00.
Grüße aus Berlin Deutschland
Beck's comes from the north of Germany and the beers there are traditionally brewed in a bitterer way. Brands include Flensburger, Jever, Störtebecker. In southern Germany, especially Bavaria, the beers are brewed more mildly. e.g. Paulaner, Hofbräuhaus, Augustiner
Bavaria has some of the best beers ever and hundreds of varieties.
Try black beer! Köstritzer, Porter
Prost
You mentioned the whitecaps and they are also very important to us Germans. That's why we have different glasses for different types of beer. In the video you can see a Weizenglas because Weizen foams a lot and would overflow in a small glass. The first beer was a Helles which is usually served in smaller glasses so that the head lasts longer. There are also Pilsner glasses or Kölsch glasses. I wish you and your family all the best. 🤠🍻
Love your enthusiam for the Hefeweizen. As a poor student in Munich there was one day in the week, where a local butchery offered lunch consisting out of a Pretzel, two Weißwurst and a Hefeweizen (which is quite filling) for a bargain. The lectures in the afternoon where always fun ;)
in German we say "Prost" or "zum Wohl" to cheers :)
As an American living in Germany since 2019, I understand your excitement. By the way, Hells is (light) in Deutsch. The Paulaner is a nice wheat bier. My favorite Weiss bier, a little heavy but lecker. Becks is Becks, it's a traditional Pilsner.
The first one you mentioned I don't recognize but, as you mentioned, there are so many kinds and brands of bier and ale it's hard to keep up. Enjoy

Hi there.., southern Bavaria in da house. My favorite is the "Paulaner Salvator". It's a so-called "Doppelbock" beer, originally brewed by Paulaner monks in the 1600's. It's an intensely hoppy beer with double the amounts of well.., everything. Hops, malt, as well as alcohol content (around 12%). The monks drank Doppelbock during Lent, which is why it's also called a “meal in a glass”. It’s a full-bodied, rich, and malty lager.
Take care y'all.., sendin' good vibes y'alls way. 🤙🏻👋🏻

I'm in Ireland and I order a crate of Berliner Kindl a couple of times a year. Nectar of the gods
Tastes differ; I just moved from Berlin and am happy to not have to drink Kindl again :P I am a huge sucker for Hefeweizen though
@@bernardkuiper1496 Berliner Kindl is good! But with German beer its anyway a matter of taste rather then good or not since all traditional brands are on a high standard.
Simply marvellous - the video. I loved it.
And in Germany you say "Prost" or "zum Wohl"
Becks is part of the Interbrew Beverages Group. This leads to Anhäuser Busch. Thats the reason why Becks for the american market is brewed in the U.S.
Maybe another fact: In Germany there are two places, where you can study Brewing and get an Masters degreee. The most famous place is the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The campus of the Brewing-students is located north of Munich at Freising. But everyone calls it „Weihenstephan“ ;)
I commend you guys for the sacrifice you make for our entertainment. It can’t be easy drinking all that beer. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
German Beer is the easiest since it is the best in the world.
nice video, cool seeing americans drink "good" beer for the first time. I´m kidding you guys, chill ;)
Quick Tipp: Because there is hefe (yeast) in the "hefe weissbier" you should always pour it until you got about half left, swirl it around gently so the yeast mixes back into the rest of the beer and then continu to pour the rest.
greetings from munich :)
It is heartwarming how much you like our beers! Pleasure to watch while also drinking a beer here in Germany. Prost!
As German waiter I have to say something:
You keep a rest of a Hefeweizen in the bottle/can and carefully shake it, before you pour it in the glas, so you shake up the yeast on the bottom and get it into the glas.
If you like strong beer you should try Jever.
For German beer there is a simple rule of thump. As more northern the brewery is, as stronger / more bitter the beer is.
And Jever comes fropm the north sea coast ;)
And only 4.9% alcohol XD
We also have "Starkbier" here. Strong beer: normally 5 or more %
A Bockbier or Doppelbock for example.
