yes, VERY offended by adding ice and lemon to Flensburger, one of my all time fave beers! (when i lived in south Thailand 8 1/2 yrs, everybody put ice in their beers, but of course Thai beer is sh*t compared to German beer!!!) my all time fave beers, in no exact order: Noche Buena (Mexico) Harp Lager (Ireland) Leffe (Belgium), Lao Beer (Laos) Turner (Australia) Flensburger, München Hell, Spaten (Germany, along w/so many other great German beers whose names i can't recall); there was one Danish beer i liked when i lived in CPH, but forget the name... oh, thumbs up, of course, #sixtyeight (my six key is kaput)
In Germany my favorite one is Kloster Andechs Doppel Bock Dunkel. I live in Belgium. The beers in Belgium are just on another level. There is more beer types than just Pilsner and Weissbier. Try a Berlgian Kriek. Made with Cherries. Great in the summer. Or a Trappist or .... Belgium has every type (not brand) of beer and then many others.
My favorite beer of all time is the Gaffel Koelsch I had at Gaffel am Dom in Koeln. (Sorry...it's been about 20 years since my last German class, and I forget how to type an umlaut on an American keyboard.) And Fuechschen is my favorite Altbier.
So as a homebrewer, I have some explanations for you. For the Weissbier (or Hefeweizen), the reason you taste banana is because the yeast used to make it does actually produce the same ester that is found in bananas. It also produces a phenol found in cloves. You can actually change the balance between those two flavors by regulating the temperature at which it ferments.
Hey. No joke there is a fabulous bier in Madagascar called THB. It is a Pilsner style bier. I think it is the water. It is not really available outside of Madagascar.
I genuinely mean this as a compliment: I love how chaotic this video gets as it progresses 😂 the slow unhinging as more beers are consumed paired with no script just feels so authentic and funny. “Are you dicking with me right now?!” I love watching along as if we’re all just friends hanging out! Sending hugs and positivity ❤ hoping everyone is feeling okay
Lived and worked in Munich. All of my exchange student friends from the University were drinking Augustiner Helles. Very easy to drink, no bitterness or harsh aftertaste. I always describe it to my friends in the US as refreshing. Also works incredibly well with a lemonade Radler. Think you both will enjoy it!
Actually, not many people in Munich drink Erdinger or Paulaner beer, although they are the best-known beers from Bavaria. Mainly the tourists drink it. Most in Munich drink Franziskaner, Augustiner or Tegernseer beer. 😊 Btw you forgot Kölsch, Dortmunder and Berliner Weisse.
Kölsch isnt a Beer,Its water 😁and Dortmunder? What do you mean? Export Beer? And they forgot Altbeer,too. So…you cant compare this totally different types of Beer.
New subscriber here. I'll be moving to Germany soon (Bavaria). I can't wait to try the different beers, foods and emerse myself into the German culture.Keep up the great content. You guys are awesome!!
Just make sure to leave Bavaria to experience Germany proper. They have their own weird subculture down their and they're a little bit on the ignorant side.
Bitburger is my all-time favorite. When I was in the USAF stationed in Germany6 (Spangdahlem) I lived in Bitburg base housing. From my 4th floor apartment, the Bitburger brewery was straight ahead about ~1Km away. It was the go-to for all of my co-workers and I still find it the US today. The Becks in the US is NOT from Germany but is brewed in St. Louis. The Paulaner Weissbier is the "Naturtub" style which I believe is "natural" and unfiltered. This is one of my favorites. On my most recent visit to Germany (2021 to Miltenberg) I tried the Flensburger Pils which I also enjoyed. The Jever is a good pils. I also first tried it at Spangdahlem as the German Luftwaffe at Jever was a Sister squadron to our unit. Overalll, my favorites are generally Pils. Two smaller breweries I tried were Schappesepel in Aschaffenburg & Faust in Miltenberg. Give them a try. Prost!
At least Pils from Western Germany. I'd suggest they also try Pils beers from Czechia or Northern Austria, which tend to be smoother and less bitter than German Pils.
Turnin' Deana into a beer drinker!! I never thought I'd see the day! OMGGGG i freaked when yall drank the mixed beer! then liked it!! then said about mixing things while high hahahahahahahahhaa. I love you guys!
Part of my trip to Germany in January was that we went to Brewdog and had a tour in Berlin and then in Munich we toured Lowenbrau Brewery with tastings at both.
3:56 Its also called "bricklayer bottle". The reason why is because of the shape, they are much harder to break and harder to knock over when you put them somewhere on the ground
Sorry, but what's the point of drinking Pils if you obviously don't like it? If you like Hefeweizen - stick to it. But if you're trying Krombacher, Warsteiner, Veltins and Bitburger - you're basically drinking the same kind of beer 😅😅😅
Weihnachtsmarkt Video Summer Edition XD Treffen sich ein Westfale, ein Düsseldorfer und ein Kölner in der Kneipe. Sagt der Westfale: Ich nehme ein Pils. Sagt der Düsseldorfer: Ich bekomme ein Alt. Sagt der Kölner: Ich nehme eine Cola. Frag der Wirt: Wie, diesmal kein Kölsch? Sagt der Kölner: Wenn die anderen beiden auch kein Bier trinken.
😂🤣😂 That was amazing. Y'all are so funny. But we need to add some Sächsisch beers to your tasting. Since we moved to Leipzig, some of my go to's have been the Leipziger Gose, Ur-Krostitzer, Köstritzer (I love dark beers), and popular and cheap around here is Sternberg. I'm sure there's still so many more to try (and I'm open to recommendations!) If you guys ever make your way back to Leipzig, beer is on me!
Yes, some regions weren't represented. Missed the Kölsch, but you might get shot if you try to buy that in Düsseldorf, and should have included more beer from the south like Rothaus Tannenzäpfle.
I can recommend Radeberger. Maybe it's because I live in Radeberg, but as the advertisement says: "Radeberger - Schon immer besonders (Radeberger - always special)"
This vid just made me thirsty. Deana is hilarious, I can tell she doesn't drink much. Bitburger is my favorite because it's more hoppier. You guys should rinse the glass out before you try a new beer because the residual from the previous beers are in there. Do you ever see a bartender rinse a glass out before putting beer in it. It's to ensure no residual from soap or beer are in it. You misses 2 beer styles. Krystal Weissen beer and Kolsch bier
Bitte ein, Bit? Right there with you, @Traveling Trio and dogs ! Our Gasthaus had 6-taps...all Bitburger... but Frankfurt-Hahn Airport was still a USAFE airbase back then.😬
I can't nail down one particular beer as my favorite but my favorite German beer is Köstritzer! I live in Wisconsin, born and raised. Thank you for this great video, Prost!
Not surprising Deana immediately equated Bud Light as a flavor. Busch came from Germany and started their little enterprise making lager based on German brewing. Now they just make a very watered down version of where they came from. I love the progression of this video. So entertaining.
My beer drinker heart is bleeding. And you say that you're a beer connoisseur... But a huge advice for both of you: Try "Helles", especially Tegernseer Hell. Helles tastes a bit like Pils (which is the best and that's not debatable) but it's a bit softer and less bitter. It could be something for both of you. If you need further beer advices regarding Pils and Helles, I'm your man :D Cheers from the Ruhr area ;)
I like Pils the most, in Bavaria (holiday trip) always Helles, Helles, Helles. There are very got Helles Beers, absolutly, but i like the "bitter" taste of Pils like Rothaus from the black forest more. It always feels like home coming back and have a nice Rothaus in southwest germany :)
And no you're not crazy, wheat beer does have a fruity flavor to it, it can range from banana to pear to peach. My favorites: Lager/Export/Regular: Augustiner Hell Weißbier: Franziskaner Pils: Tannenzäpfle Märzen (Otoberfest beer): Spaten Starkbier: Paulaner Salvator
I'm german & for me most of those are below average & none is great. When it comes to beer we're a bit like americans since we always think we're the best when it isn't that often the case. For me an average belgian beer tickles more taste buds then our classics. Of course there are also a lot of good beers in Germany & they even increase due to the craft beer hype but I wouldn't go for any big brand.
No, your beers are very good. Any Reinheitsgebott beer will be good, just look at Namibian breweries for the German influence and see how good their German beers are. They learned it from the masters back in Germany. I've had most of those beers, but some of the Pilsners I haven't been able to get locally (South Africa) before. Jever is good, bitter hop profile. Reminds me of Holsten. Franziskaner, Erdinger, Paulaner are great variations of weiss beers and extremely popular here. There are several local variations that are excellent. Fruity, malty and the banana is there. I would be happy with any of the above beers in a stein with Eisbein and bratkartofflen (extremely crispy). Grusse und gutte wunsche aus Sud Afrika.
My first experience with German beer, was Bitburger. When I saw you break that out, I immediately died laughing remembering how bitter it is. But I really like the Paulaner and Warsteiner. If I come to Dusseldorf, I definitely want to try that local brew. Now to really offend people, I never really considered Beck's a German beer because of how common it is in the US.
As someone from Flensburg; yes, I'm offended^^ From the Intro and by the claim that we call the Flensburger bottles "Handgranaten". We just call them 'Bügelflasche'. We call bottles with the Steinieform/Stubbi a Handgranate. Like the bottles from Astra beer. Good video ;)
Die alte Haake Beck Flaschen waren Bauarbeiter-Flaschen bzw. Handgranaten. Irgendwann in den 1980er Jahren wurde dann aber zur Flaschenform von Becks gewechselt, da die Flasche hochwertiger wirkt.
Saw your ice - intro! Sorry, you're no longer from germany! Next thing, you write your name on the glass!? 😉🤣 Fav.: Pfungstädter Nikolaus "Da könnt' ich mir reinlejen!" 🍺🛀😋 We call bottles like Flens "Stuppi", suppose it's because of the short neck. Hi there, cause after the Flens : "Tipsy-D is in the house and on the stage now!" 🤣
I lived in Germany for 13 years and fell in love with the Bier. Of those you sampled, that I have also drank, Warsteiner and Bit burger are my favorites. I also like a good Hefe Weizen and Paulaner is a really good one. I really loved it when the pop top bottles could be found everywhere. I wish I could get back there again.
Warsteiner and Bitburger, really? Bitburger tastes like ass, I thought that's why they have to advertise this shitty beer at virtually every sports event.
While touring Germany with a concert band in 1979, I was privileged to tour the Weihenstephaner brewery in Freising. It claimed to be the oldest continually operating brewery in the world. My host family that evening served the local beer with a dinner of Leberkäse, followed by after dinner conversation with the local Rhein Wein. I had to cut them off at one point, stating that I had to play a concert that evening. LOL. I was 18 at the time. After that, I searched for Weihenstephaner in the US for many years, and finally found it….almost 20 years later. It’s still one of my favorite German beers.
My wife is far away in another country. Watching the two of you getting tipsy together and flashing love in your eyes at each other is just so heartwarming. I’ve learned a lot of beer the pleasure of getting tipsy with the right person.
I can't remember if the first beer I ever tried in Germany was Beck's or Warsteiner. Mainly, the timeframe is what is fuzzy. We went to an amusement park as a big group and split like two Beck's beers there as students, hiding it from our teachers, and then since I was based in the Dortmund area, Warsteiner was just a very popular beer at parties. And I can't really recall any bad beers at all during any of my visits to Germany. It's just that nothing really stands out to me, except for the Weißbiers like Paulaner, Erdinger, Franziskaner, and Weihenstephaner.
What temperature was the beer? When I lived in Germany, my German friends drank beer at room temperature. My favorite was Königsbacher. It was brewed in Koblenz.
I was in the Army stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base 1985 to 1989 . The best beer I ever had was in the town below the Neuschwanstein Castle and it was a dark beer . Unfortunately , I only had it the one time , but it was the best . At Ramstein , we drank Parkbrau from Pirmasens , West Germany , which is now just called Park . When I was there they made an Export , Pils , Pirminator and Weizen . They now make 13 different kinds ! A friend of mine who married a German lady , goes back every year and his mother in law retired from the Parkbrau brewery . He brings back a rack or 2 every time and a couple years ago he had a friend that came to Las Vegas for a bowling tournament , bring me a Park Pils . It was wonderful ! I haven't had one since 1991 and they don't export to the United States . The next time you are in the Kaiserslautern , Ramstein , Pirmasens area you should try some of the others and maybe do a video . 13 different beers from the same maker could be fun and the Pirminator is 6.9% . The others are 4.8% .
Die "Handgranate" war früher die sogenannte "Snobby-Flasche" der Paderborner Brauerei. Besonderheit: Die Flasche hatte einen Abreißstreifen und keinen Kronkorken, so daß man das Paderborner Pilsener ohne Öffner aufmachen konnte. Abreißlasche = Handgranate (Diese Flaschen gab es u.a. auch bei Aldi Nord und verschwanden leider Ende der 1980er.) Die Flensburger "Beugelbuddel" ist im Norden nur als "Flens" bekannt. Das Ploppen ist berühmt und in der Lautstärke auch einzigartig. Zweite Schleswig-Holsteiner Biermarke in Bügelflaschen ist übrigens "Dithmarscher" aus Marne/Holstein. Beide Biermarken sind immer noch in Familienbesitz, ganz im Gegensatz zu den anderen Fernseh-Bieren, die vorgestellt wurden.
Hey, I love your channel! I'm a Canadian living in Zambia, central Africa. I have travelled to many different countries and I always try the local beers. The German beers are among the best ever! African beers are pretty good, (Zambia's Mosi, Namibia's Tefel, South Africa's Castle) are all pretty good. This was a great episode! Cheers!
We were just in Wurzburg at a festival and the Wurbrger Hofbrau was our favourite so far. Not sure if this was just specially made for this specific event but we drank a lot of Big Beers a lot!
I think you just got banned for life in Cologne drinking Altbier from a Kölsch cone. 😂 Next video should be a comparison of Düsseldorf's different house breweries (Füchschen, Uerige, Schlüssel, Schumacher, Kürzer and Gulasch Alt). Hard to say what's my favorite beer, I like a lot of different brands. But if I could choose I'd always drink a dark one, maybe a porter or a stout. And a recommendation if you're beer lovers in Düsseldorf: there's a great place in Oberbilk called 'Britische Biere', they're a craft beer store and they always have some draft beers there as well, plus hundreds of different craft beers from all over the world in their fridges (and also different ciders and gins). It's a beer drinker's paradise.
You need to do this again in winter with dunkel & bock... 😎 I enjoy SCHÖFFERHOFER dunkel in cooler months... Grolsch is the first to mind when thinking of swing-top beers... (Amber or Lager) Summer time is good for sour beer - fruity notes with a tart finish...
Becks in the US has not been imported from Germany for decades. It is brewed and bottled in the US and is absolutely not the same as its German counterpart.
Thr best beer is definitely Spatan Oktoberfest! Wish I could get it all year round. Otherwise I get the Paulaner Dunkel Weißbier which is also good. I'm going to need to find a new beer for summer. My go to is our local- Bitburger! looks like I need to branch out and try something else.
Have you guys done anything on German bread? I mean, that is a HUGE topic! Personally, IADORE Sonnenblumen brot! After that, any broetchen with butter and jam floats my boat!
So you two basically tested two wheat beers, an Alt and a lot of Pilseners - which by the way originated in Pilzen, a Czech city. Funny how Diana mentioned Bud in the beginning, since Budweiser is a beer originally from Budweis - also a Czech city. (Yeah, one of the big American beers isn't actually American at all. And yeah, the Czech top Germany when it comes to beer consumption and also have a rather rich beer history.) Anyway, I'd suggest more diversity next time. Kölsch, Helles or Export, Lager, Bock, Landbier, Kellerbier, Schwarzbier. I could recommend a few though not all might be available everywhere. And also interesting to know: most beers at least throughout Europe of which many advertise with some kind of regional connection or so (Jever standing out in this matter, for example) - they're almost exclusively owned by one huge company (similar to Nestlé or Mondelēz): Anheuser-Busch InBev
Well, no. The American Budweiser just stole the name. But they aren't the same things at all. Yes, the Czech version is the best and obviously the original. But you would be very disappointed if you ordered a Budweiser in the US expecting the Czech version. And that American brewery was actually based in St. Louis, Missouri. But it was purchased by a big corporation based in Belgium, so it's also not "originally Belgian" either, as the commentor below seems to be implying.
I am sorry , but Pils beer being „Czech“ in origin is not entirely correct for 2 reasons . 1: a lot of the cities in Bohemia had a large German-Austrian population , sometimes actually a majority . This included Pilsen and Budweis ( my grandpa being born in the latter ) . 2: the history of The „Pilsener“ brewstyle directly involves a Bavarian brewmaster called Joseph Groll, who was called to Pilsen by the owner of their local brewery ( another German ) to help improve the quality of their beer . So the Pils is actually a Bavarian-Bohemian cooperation .
Hi, as a Canadian I can’t believe how you done this, I have a good friend from München, she is a true Bavarian, and I think she would be outraged how you served these beers, 1) you put ice in your glass 2) didn’t rinse the glass first 3) you used the same glass for all beers 4) you didn’t pour the entire bottle of the wheat beer, the best part is in the bottom.
i cannot stand Beck's! what is so humorous, was that in USA, (where i 1st tasted and hated Beck's) there was a beer, 'St Pauli Girl', featuring a buxom Bavarian type lass in dirndl, of course that's NOTHING like a girl would look in St Pauli, home of the notorious Reeperbahn!!!
In Bremen, where Beck's is brewed, they also have two beers that can only be purchased in Bremen. These are called Haake Beck and Haake Beck Kräusen. They are really nice and shame can't get them everywhere
Wie das Land so das Bier. Jever Pilsener. When I go home to Ostfriesland, my brother buys a small keg for me alone. It is wonderfully clean and bitter. I do not drink Bavarian beers.
I would love to share that keg with you! Best make that 2. I do have a passion for Bavarian beers as I grew up with Bavarian/Austrian neighbours and I love the culture/accent because that was the German I was taught to speak. The food and culture I grew up with, seeing as my best friend and neighbour was Austrian-Bavarian.
Well, it's a tough call being born in Texas, raised in Oklahoma but made with German parts :o), Mom from Munchen a war bride. Have a fondness of Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr because of family ties to the company and Spaten. Aunt and uncle introduced us to mixing most our beer with lemonade, but when the wallet is light, Bud and Coors are the fix.
I like Bitburger, always loved it's bitterness. But if I have to chose one beer I'd have to drink my whole life, I'd go with Karjala from Finland or Mariestads from Sweden.
My favorite of the beers you tasted is either the Erdinger or the Paulaner Weissbier. They are a bit similar to me to know which one is the best without trying. My absolute favorite of all time though is Störtebeker Bernstein Weizen. I think that Becks is one of the most boring beers I tried in Germany though. I am from Sweden, but like german beer a lot after a year of exchange studies in Germany ages ago. :)
The problem with the bottled beers is, that there are a lot of light sensitive molecules, which gives the flavour/ aroma. So if between the brevery and you, anyone stored it badly, than the flavour and odor will get worse and worse. That is why they use green or brown bottles and no normal transparent glass, they try to protect the beer inside against light. You can try it at home with 2 bottles easily, and feel the difference. It is not possible to tell after one try, whether the beer itself is not good or just was stored badly.
Very entertaining video 🤣 I really wanna try this stuff out on the weekend coz I often vary which beer is my favourite but I really like the Eastern European beers like Tyskie, Pilsner Urquell and Staropramen.
You didn't mention the PRIMARY difference between Weissbier and the lagers you previously mentioned, and that is the yeast used to ferment it. Weissbier uses a specific ale yeast,, is fermented at much higher temperatures, and gives off significant estery flavors and smells.
Well I am from Belgium so OF COURSE I love our beers. If you visit our country, I think you need to try: 1. Duvel, which is our dialect for the word "duivel" = Teufel (so kind of like saying "Tüfl" and saying/shouting it really angry 🤣). 2. Hoegaarden (a weissbier with coriander, I love it and all the grannies 👵 drink it for some reason, they claim it doesn't give such a big headache 🤔🤷🏻♀️). 3. Rodenbach. (Roten Bach, Red Bach) I love it, but it's brewed in the West part of Flanders so you would most likely need to go to the belgian coast to try it, 🌊⛵it's tradition, they serve it with shrimp (which you peel yourself) There are plenty of beers here, but I would leave pils up to the Czech people. 🍺 We have so many different styles, you could try whatever you feel like trying. 365 days in a year, a different beer for every day. 🍻
German here, I had Duvel in Belgium and liked it. But for some reason I always thought someone spiked a sweet Kölsch with a shot of Vodka. Not complaining :P
I really enjoyed your video. I lived in Germany in the late 80s early 90s. I fell in love with German beer. I tried a lot of different types, and learned early that I didn’t really like Pilsner style beer, but loved Weissbier. Out of the Weissbier, I preferred Kristal Weissen. It’s not as heavy as a Hefe or Dunkel. Locally I can find Paulaner, Erdinger, and my current go to Weissbier……Franziskaner.
Kristal Weissen was the first bier that I tried when I moved to Germany and I learned that I don't really like Weissbier because after I drink it I feel like I just ate a loaf of bread. I do like a Münchner Hell.
I am so NOT offended! It’s strange that in the US, almost all beers are “lager” beers. Translation - not too strong tasting, not too hoppy. I get the feeling you probably don’t like overly hopped beers. The craft beer scene in the US has gone hop crazy - resulting in some nearly undrinkable versions. I see some Becks and Paulaners around. Used to be Lowenbrau but I think it was coopted and americanized in the 80s. And the beer scene in the US is being crowded by alcopops like hard seltzer and lemonades- a bit like Radlers in Germany only with every conceivable flavor of fruit.
The people in Bremen refuse to like Becks nowadays because it got selled to heineken i think. And that made them angry and a lot of Bars don't even sell them anymore. They drink Jever or hemelinger (i like hemi very much) or others like störtebecker. Btw the key in the Logo of Becks, is the Bremer Schlüssel.
I love a dark beer, wheat beer, brown ale and every now and then a pale ale. I don’t like light beer just because I’ve yet to find one that’s tasty and yes what you did to that beer in the beginning offended me. If I do find German beers I’ll make a note on the brands.
I'm sure you know the 0,5 brand? It's only sold in cans, and the Pils is black, Weizen is orange and so on. They basically do what you did in the end with your 'Spuckereste-Bier' (without the Spucke). They buy beer from different breweries and just toss them together. And to be honest, i like it most of the time...😂🍻
I didnt know that they mix together different beers. Thats hillarious. I just liked it because its cheap and tastes better than most of the common brand beers.
You should try the non pils Warsteiner it's much better. Also try Lorhers brand as well as 1878's. These two beer brands are the best in Germany in my opinion.
I love Beck’s - reminds me of my dad who passed away in 2013. He used to stop for two Beck’s on his way home from work - I have tried Oëttinger. After trying it for the first time recently, I love it! A$5 per 500mL can at a local bottleshop
3:35 "It's the only one in this type of bottle" my grandma would strongly dissagree if she would be still alive, cause she drunk Potts as her favourite beer
I tried to be offended, but I couldn't. You're too adorable. A toast from me with my just opened Scheyern Kloster-Weisse. By the way, the Perlenbacher beer sold in Lidl is made by Oettinger, so it's probably the same thing.
Weirdly enough about ALL types of Oettinger Bier are quite tasty... Schwarzbier, Weizen (even the one without alcohol...) Oettinger Alkoholfrei, that crazy half-alcohol Schankbier they have... And then there´s Oettinger Pils, which tastes like "Omma unterm Arm" (licking grandma´s armpit), as people tend to say. It´s the real Pennerglück and devastatingly horrible. All the others... quite yummy. And what Phil called a handgrenade is a "Bügelflasche" or "Ploppflasche". Handgrenade probably means the stubby, 0.5 and 0.3l Maurerbomben, mostly sold by Veltins and a few other breweries. But generally you shouldn´t compare different kinds of beer against each other. Different Pilsener against each other and different Weißbiere against each other would make much more sense. And if you really, absolutely feel like drinking something that will help you puke: Try Nürnberger Rauchbier. But don´t tell me I didn´t warn you again doing so! 🤣
I have had several of the beers you tried and it was fun watching your reactions. My personal favorite beer is Spaten Oktoberfest and I always have a few cases on hand. I would love to see an Oktoberfest lineup on your show.
I'm late to the party but I've spent a lot of time in Munich and I was taught early on that when you clink glasses in a toast that touch the glasses at the bottom so as not break them which can be easily done by touching the rims together.
a little controversial take ;) is the beer from Flensborg(Flensburger) really a German beer ;) I mean historically it's only in the recent history that it was not a part of Denmark ;)
If you really want to get a taste of different beers, go to the Bamberg area, every small town around it has at least three breweries, with very different brewing styles.
I from South Carolina and used to work for a German company. On my trips I enjoyed bit and krom. It's funny I don't drink in the US. My fav is Presedente from Dominican Republic.

yes, VERY offended by adding ice and lemon to Flensburger, one of my all time fave beers! (when i lived in south Thailand 8 1/2 yrs, everybody put ice in their beers, but of course Thai beer is sh*t compared to German beer!!!) my all time fave beers, in no exact order: Noche Buena (Mexico) Harp Lager (Ireland) Leffe (Belgium), Lao Beer (Laos) Turner (Australia) Flensburger, München Hell, Spaten (Germany, along w/so many other great German beers whose names i can't recall); there was one Danish beer i liked when i lived in CPH, but forget the name... oh, thumbs up, of course, #sixtyeight (my six key is kaput)
In Germany my favorite one is Kloster Andechs Doppel Bock Dunkel. I live in Belgium. The beers in Belgium are just on another level. There is more beer types than just Pilsner and Weissbier. Try a Berlgian Kriek. Made with Cherries. Great in the summer. Or a Trappist or .... Belgium has every type (not brand) of beer and then many others.
@@jdmagicmusic hehe 😉 yeah we noticed a lot of people in Thailand adding ice to their beer! Looks like you've tried a lot of beers around the world!
@@houghi3826 We were hoping to go to Belgium sometime this summer! It's so close now that we are in Düsseldorf!
My favorite beer of all time is the Gaffel Koelsch I had at Gaffel am Dom in Koeln. (Sorry...it's been about 20 years since my last German class, and I forget how to type an umlaut on an American keyboard.) And Fuechschen is my favorite Altbier.
So as a homebrewer, I have some explanations for you. For the Weissbier (or Hefeweizen), the reason you taste banana is because the yeast used to make it does actually produce the same ester that is found in bananas. It also produces a phenol found in cloves. You can actually change the balance between those two flavors by regulating the temperature at which it ferments.
Awesome! Finally an explanation that proves I'm not crazy! :D
How about Rauchbier? It is Bavarian classic.
There are some very. Ice beers from Poland, obviously Czech. In Freiburg there was Ganter Bier.
There was also a great Pilsner called Rothaus Pils
Hey. No joke there is a fabulous bier in Madagascar called THB. It is a Pilsner style bier. I think it is the water. It is not really available outside of Madagascar.

Lived and worked in Munich. All of my exchange student friends from the University were drinking Augustiner Helles. Very easy to drink, no bitterness or harsh aftertaste. I always describe it to my friends in the US as refreshing. Also works incredibly well with a lemonade Radler. Think you both will enjoy it!
I think it's comparable to Paulaner Original Münchner Helles.
I would totally agree. Actually any Munich Helles is good by me but Augustiner was my favourite.

Pretty much every helles is pretty decent but my favorite is Andechser helles
One of my all time favourites also. But VERY expensive. You can get good beer for half of the price of Augustiner.
Actually, not many people in Munich drink Erdinger or Paulaner beer, although they are the best-known beers from Bavaria. Mainly the tourists drink it. Most in Munich drink Franziskaner, Augustiner or Tegernseer beer. 😊
Btw you forgot Kölsch, Dortmunder and Berliner Weisse.
Hmm, here in Munich, Paulaner is the most popular and best selling beer among Germans. Augustiner is close.
And you forgot Hof Brau
Kölsch isnt a Beer,Its water 😁and Dortmunder? What do you mean? Export Beer? And they forgot Altbeer,too. So…you cant compare this totally different types of Beer.
@@davidlynch9049 what do you think about Schneider and Konig Ludwig? They are 2 my favourites
@@joergn.1800 The saying about Kölsch (exchangeable with Altbier depending where you're from) says a lot about drinking culture, doesn't it? 😅

New subscriber here. I'll be moving to Germany soon (Bavaria). I can't wait to try the different beers, foods and emerse myself into the German culture.Keep up the great content. You guys are awesome!!
Bavaria is the best place for beer and food
Try small breweries and not the big ones. That's where you get real German beer.
Be sure to have a Bratwurst in HOF - the birthplace of the street vendors called Wurstla Mo.
Try beer from Franken, it'll probably be the best beer you can get in Bavaria.
Just make sure to leave Bavaria to experience Germany proper. They have their own weird subculture down their and they're a little bit on the ignorant side.
Koestritzer Swartzbier is an incredible beer.
Bitburger is my all-time favorite. When I was in the USAF stationed in Germany6 (Spangdahlem) I lived in Bitburg base housing. From my 4th floor apartment, the Bitburger brewery was straight ahead about ~1Km away. It was the go-to for all of my co-workers and I still find it the US today. The Becks in the US is NOT from Germany but is brewed in St. Louis. The Paulaner Weissbier is the "Naturtub" style which I believe is "natural" and unfiltered. This is one of my favorites. On my most recent visit to Germany (2021 to Miltenberg) I tried the Flensburger Pils which I also enjoyed. The Jever is a good pils. I also first tried it at Spangdahlem as the German Luftwaffe at Jever was a Sister squadron to our unit. Overalll, my favorites are generally Pils. Two smaller breweries I tried were Schappesepel in Aschaffenburg & Faust in Miltenberg. Give them a try. Prost!
Prosit,not prost.
As a teenager growing up in Germany I drank Würzburger Hofbräu
What did we learn today: Deana and Phil just don't like Pils, regardless of brand, lol!
At least Pils from Western Germany. I'd suggest they also try Pils beers from Czechia or Northern Austria, which tend to be smoother and less bitter than German Pils.
I spotted that too. 🤔
Turnin' Deana into a beer drinker!! I never thought I'd see the day! OMGGGG i freaked when yall drank the mixed beer! then liked it!! then said about mixing things while high hahahahahahahahhaa. I love you guys!
Hahah What has Germany done?!?! I thought you'd enjoy this one! Hope to enjoy a glass with you over here someday sooonnnn!! 😘
@@DeanaandPhil oh yes! And we’ll do the creepy eye contact Prost 😂 Scott’s family taught me that about looking into eyes while cheersing!
Part of my trip to Germany in January was that we went to Brewdog and had a tour in Berlin and then in Munich we toured Lowenbrau Brewery with tastings at both.
No Haufbrau? I have a large beer and wine store near my house and the Haufbrau Hefeweizen is my go to...
Sounds Yummy! We just went with the top ten(ish) most popular beers sold by consumption in Germany!
3:56 Its also called "bricklayer bottle". The reason why is because of the shape, they are much harder to break and harder to knock over when you put them somewhere on the ground
Sorry, but what's the point of drinking Pils if you obviously don't like it? If you like Hefeweizen - stick to it. But if you're trying Krombacher, Warsteiner, Veltins and Bitburger - you're basically drinking the same kind of beer 😅😅😅
Weihnachtsmarkt Video Summer Edition XD Treffen sich ein Westfale, ein Düsseldorfer und ein Kölner in der Kneipe. Sagt der Westfale: Ich nehme ein Pils. Sagt der Düsseldorfer: Ich bekomme ein Alt. Sagt der Kölner: Ich nehme eine Cola. Frag der Wirt: Wie, diesmal kein Kölsch? Sagt der Kölner: Wenn die anderen beiden auch kein Bier trinken.
I am from the Bitburg Area so Bitburger is what I grew up with
😂🤣😂 That was amazing. Y'all are so funny. But we need to add some Sächsisch beers to your tasting. Since we moved to Leipzig, some of my go to's have been the Leipziger Gose, Ur-Krostitzer, Köstritzer (I love dark beers), and popular and cheap around here is Sternberg. I'm sure there's still so many more to try (and I'm open to recommendations!)
If you guys ever make your way back to Leipzig, beer is on me!
Yes, some regions weren't represented. Missed the Kölsch, but you might get shot if you try to buy that in Düsseldorf, and should have included more beer from the south like Rothaus Tannenzäpfle.
I can recommend Radeberger. Maybe it's because I live in Radeberg, but as the advertisement says: "Radeberger - Schon immer besonders (Radeberger - always special)"
comming from leipzig too i can really recommend you Freiberger, its one of my favourites
Ihr solltet auch mal ein Bamberger Rauchbier probieren/You also should try a smoked beer from Bamberg 😁
Interesting. Having grown up in Bavaria I don't remember ever seeing anyone drink beer with ice cubes. Chilled, definitely, but never with ice cubes.
I am in Australia & have just bought both of the weisebeers. I like one & my husband likes the other. 😂 Can't wait to visit Germany next year 😃
And i like the foster. Brewed in Hannover. With australien indegrees but under german Reinheitsgebot.
This vid just made me thirsty. Deana is hilarious, I can tell she doesn't drink much. Bitburger is my favorite because it's more hoppier.
You guys should rinse the glass out before you try a new beer because the residual from the previous beers are in there. Do you ever see a bartender rinse a glass out before putting beer in it. It's to ensure no residual from soap or beer are in it.
You misses 2 beer styles. Krystal Weissen beer and Kolsch bier
heißt das nich weizen?
Bitte ein, Bit?
Right there with you, @Traveling Trio and dogs !
Our Gasthaus had 6-taps...all Bitburger...
but Frankfurt-Hahn Airport was still a USAFE airbase back then.😬
@@reverendbStaard Hanau was the base I was on. There was a bar down the street that always had Bit on tap. Good memories
Dear Beck’s fans, here in the states you will buy Beck’s that is brewed in St. Louis Missouri by you know who.
I can't nail down one particular beer as my favorite but my favorite German beer is Köstritzer! I live in Wisconsin, born and raised. Thank you for this great video, Prost!
I am from Wisconsin as well and I ❤️ Wernesgruner from Aldi's.👍
Not surprising Deana immediately equated Bud Light as a flavor. Busch came from Germany and started their little enterprise making lager based on German brewing. Now they just make a very watered down version of where they came from. I love the progression of this video. So entertaining.
American beer is like making love in a canoe.
It's fucking close to water.
- Monty Python
My beer drinker heart is bleeding. And you say that you're a beer connoisseur...
But a huge advice for both of you: Try "Helles", especially Tegernseer Hell.
Helles tastes a bit like Pils (which is the best and that's not debatable) but it's a bit softer and less bitter. It could be something for both of you.
If you need further beer advices regarding Pils and Helles, I'm your man :D
Cheers from the Ruhr area ;)
I like Pils the most, in Bavaria (holiday trip) always Helles, Helles, Helles. There are very got Helles Beers, absolutly, but i like the "bitter" taste of Pils like Rothaus from the black forest more. It always feels like home coming back and have a nice Rothaus in southwest germany :)
And no you're not crazy, wheat beer does have a fruity flavor to it, it can range from banana to pear to peach.
My favorites:
Lager/Export/Regular: Augustiner Hell
Weißbier: Franziskaner
Pils: Tannenzäpfle
Märzen (Otoberfest beer): Spaten
Starkbier: Paulaner Salvator
Nice picks, too bad they didn’t do tannenzapfle. I like wheats but that one and waldhaus are special
Du hast ja mal n abartigen Geschmack fürs Bier boahhh....
I love that you tasted so many beer from the northern part 👍
Omg!1 I love how you get more drunken at the end of video. hahaha!!!
18:17 !!! I take one of these! :D
Really loving your videos 😊🙏 keep them coming you two
I'm german & for me most of those are below average & none is great. When it comes to beer we're a bit like americans since we always think we're the best when it isn't that often the case. For me an average belgian beer tickles more taste buds then our classics.
Of course there are also a lot of good beers in Germany & they even increase due to the craft beer hype but I wouldn't go for any big brand.
Good point. Craft beer is better than major brands here too in the US
No, your beers are very good. Any Reinheitsgebott beer will be good, just look at Namibian breweries for the German influence and see how good their German beers are. They learned it from the masters back in Germany.
I've had most of those beers, but some of the Pilsners I haven't been able to get locally (South Africa) before. Jever is good, bitter hop profile. Reminds me of Holsten. Franziskaner, Erdinger, Paulaner are great variations of weiss beers and extremely popular here. There are several local variations that are excellent. Fruity, malty and the banana is there. I would be happy with any of the above beers in a stein with Eisbein and bratkartofflen (extremely crispy).

My first experience with German beer, was Bitburger. When I saw you break that out, I immediately died laughing remembering how bitter it is. But I really like the Paulaner and Warsteiner. If I come to Dusseldorf, I definitely want to try that local brew. Now to really offend people, I never really considered Beck's a German beer because of how common it is in the US.
I guess you highly likely weren't drinking Bitburger in its home region on a festival
@@maxgr7723 Nope, just what I could get here in the states.
Flensburg - Werner lässt grüßen (Brösl)👍👍👍die Filme sind Klasse, ein Muss!👍👍👍👍👍
Great video as always guys
Thank you, Bianca!
As someone from Flensburg; yes, I'm offended^^
From the Intro and by the claim that we call the Flensburger bottles "Handgranaten". We just call them 'Bügelflasche'.
We call bottles with the Steinieform/Stubbi a Handgranate. Like the bottles from Astra beer.
Good video ;)
Die alte Haake Beck Flaschen waren Bauarbeiter-Flaschen bzw. Handgranaten. Irgendwann in den 1980er Jahren wurde dann aber zur Flaschenform von Becks gewechselt, da die Flasche hochwertiger wirkt.
Not to forget the many smaller breweries and their beers, which are only sold regionally.
Bier muss man mit einem echten Schluck probieren, nich rumnibbeln...
Saw your ice - intro! Sorry, you're no longer from germany! Next thing, you write your name on the glass!? 😉🤣

We call bottles like Flens "Stuppi", suppose it's because of the short neck.
Hi there, cause after the Flens :
"Tipsy-D is in the house and on the stage now!" 🤣
I lived in Germany for 13 years and fell in love with the Bier. Of those you sampled, that I have also drank, Warsteiner and Bit burger are my favorites. I also like a good Hefe Weizen and Paulaner is a really good one. I really loved it when the pop top bottles could be found everywhere. I wish I could get back there again.
Warsteiner and Bitburger, really?
Bitburger tastes like ass, I thought that's why they have to advertise this shitty beer at virtually every sports event.
While touring Germany with a concert band in 1979, I was privileged to tour the Weihenstephaner brewery in Freising. It claimed to be the oldest continually operating brewery in the world. My host family that evening served the local beer with a dinner of Leberkäse, followed by after dinner conversation with the local Rhein Wein. I had to cut them off at one point, stating that I had to play a concert that evening. LOL. I was 18 at the time. After that, I searched for Weihenstephaner in the US for many years, and finally found it….almost 20 years later. It’s still one of my favorite German beers.
My wife is far away in another country. Watching the two of you getting tipsy together and flashing love in your eyes at each other is just so heartwarming. I’ve learned a lot of beer the pleasure of getting tipsy with the right person.
I can't remember if the first beer I ever tried in Germany was Beck's or Warsteiner. Mainly, the timeframe is what is fuzzy. We went to an amusement park as a big group and split like two Beck's beers there as students, hiding it from our teachers, and then since I was based in the Dortmund area, Warsteiner was just a very popular beer at parties.
And I can't really recall any bad beers at all during any of my visits to Germany. It's just that nothing really stands out to me, except for the Weißbiers like Paulaner, Erdinger, Franziskaner, and Weihenstephaner.
What temperature was the beer? When I lived in Germany, my German friends drank beer at room temperature. My favorite was Königsbacher. It was brewed in Koblenz.
I was in the Army stationed at Ramstein Air Force Base 1985 to 1989 . The best beer I ever had was in the town below the Neuschwanstein Castle and it was a dark beer . Unfortunately , I only had it the one time , but it was the best . At Ramstein , we drank Parkbrau from Pirmasens , West Germany , which is now just called Park . When I was there they made an Export , Pils , Pirminator and Weizen . They now make 13 different kinds ! A friend of mine who married a German lady , goes back every year and his mother in law retired from the Parkbrau brewery . He brings back a rack or 2 every time and a couple years ago he had a friend that came to Las Vegas for a bowling tournament , bring me a Park Pils . It was wonderful ! I haven't had one since 1991 and they don't export to the United States . The next time you are in the Kaiserslautern , Ramstein , Pirmasens area you should try some of the others and maybe do a video . 13 different beers from the same maker could be fun and the Pirminator is 6.9% . The others are 4.8% .
Die "Handgranate" war früher die sogenannte "Snobby-Flasche" der Paderborner Brauerei. Besonderheit: Die Flasche hatte einen Abreißstreifen und keinen Kronkorken, so daß man das Paderborner Pilsener ohne Öffner aufmachen konnte. Abreißlasche = Handgranate (Diese Flaschen gab es u.a. auch bei Aldi Nord und verschwanden leider Ende der 1980er.)
Die Flensburger "Beugelbuddel" ist im Norden nur als "Flens" bekannt. Das Ploppen ist berühmt und in der Lautstärke auch einzigartig.
Zweite Schleswig-Holsteiner Biermarke in Bügelflaschen ist übrigens "Dithmarscher" aus Marne/Holstein. Beide Biermarken sind immer noch in Familienbesitz, ganz im Gegensatz zu den anderen Fernseh-Bieren, die vorgestellt wurden.
Hey, I love your channel! I'm a Canadian living in Zambia, central Africa. I have travelled to many different countries and I always try the local beers. The German beers are among the best ever! African beers are pretty good, (Zambia's Mosi, Namibia's Tefel, South Africa's Castle) are all pretty good. This was a great episode! Cheers!
You missed Windhoek Lager and Draught. Mosi is fantastic ice cold, as is 2M.
If i was in scotland they had Sabbat ice in bottle in the Pubs. Very good. 👍🍻🇩🇪
We were just in Wurzburg at a festival and the Wurbrger Hofbrau was our favourite so far. Not sure if this was just specially made for this specific event but we drank a lot of Big Beers a lot!
My heart was dying as you put ice cubes in a beer glas 😂
I think you just got banned for life in Cologne drinking Altbier from a Kölsch cone. 😂
Next video should be a comparison of Düsseldorf's different house breweries (Füchschen, Uerige, Schlüssel, Schumacher, Kürzer and Gulasch Alt).
Hard to say what's my favorite beer, I like a lot of different brands. But if I could choose I'd always drink a dark one, maybe a porter or a stout.
And a recommendation if you're beer lovers in Düsseldorf: there's a great place in Oberbilk called 'Britische Biere', they're a craft beer store and they always have some draft beers there as well, plus hundreds of different craft beers from all over the world in their fridges (and also different ciders and gins). It's a beer drinker's paradise.
We are expecting official mail from the mayor any minute! 😂
@@DeanaandPhil 🤣😂
You need to do this again in winter with dunkel & bock... 😎
I enjoy SCHÖFFERHOFER dunkel in cooler months...
Grolsch is the first to mind when thinking of swing-top beers... (Amber or Lager)
Summer time is good for sour beer - fruity notes with a tart finish...
I might prefer potato-based alcohol. 😁
🤣😂🥃
Becks in the US has not been imported from Germany for decades. It is brewed and bottled in the US and is absolutely not the same as its German counterpart.
Thr best beer is definitely Spatan Oktoberfest! Wish I could get it all year round. Otherwise I get the Paulaner Dunkel Weißbier which is also good. I'm going to need to find a new beer for summer. My go to is our local- Bitburger! looks like I need to branch out and try something else.
Have you guys done anything on German bread? I mean, that is a HUGE topic! Personally, IADORE Sonnenblumen brot! After that, any broetchen with butter and jam floats my boat!
So you two basically tested two wheat beers, an Alt and a lot of Pilseners - which by the way originated in Pilzen, a Czech city. Funny how Diana mentioned Bud in the beginning, since Budweiser is a beer originally from Budweis - also a Czech city. (Yeah, one of the big American beers isn't actually American at all. And yeah, the Czech top Germany when it comes to beer consumption and also have a rather rich beer history.)
Anyway, I'd suggest more diversity next time. Kölsch, Helles or Export, Lager, Bock, Landbier, Kellerbier, Schwarzbier. I could recommend a few though not all might be available everywhere.
And also interesting to know: most beers at least throughout Europe of which many advertise with some kind of regional connection or so (Jever standing out in this matter, for example) - they're almost exclusively owned by one huge company (similar to Nestlé or Mondelēz): Anheuser-Busch InBev
AB Inbev. which is located in my country 🇧🇪 Belgium. haha of course ^^
Well, no. The American Budweiser just stole the name. But they aren't the same things at all. Yes, the Czech version is the best and obviously the original. But you would be very disappointed if you ordered a Budweiser in the US expecting the Czech version. And that American brewery was actually based in St. Louis, Missouri. But it was purchased by a big corporation based in Belgium, so it's also not "originally Belgian" either, as the commentor below seems to be implying.
There is also Rotbier, Rauchbier, Märzen und Zwickl. Then there is also Festbier, which is especially brewed for festivals like the Oktoberfest.
I am sorry , but Pils beer being „Czech“ in origin is not entirely correct for 2 reasons .
1: a lot of the cities in Bohemia had a large German-Austrian population , sometimes actually a majority . This included Pilsen and Budweis ( my grandpa being born in the latter ) .
2: the history of The „Pilsener“ brewstyle directly involves a Bavarian brewmaster called Joseph Groll, who was called to Pilsen by the owner of their local brewery ( another German ) to help improve the quality of their beer .
So the Pils is actually a Bavarian-Bohemian cooperation .
You might want to try Fiege Pils from Bochum. It tastes like someone has nailed your tongue to the palate.
Hi, as a Canadian I can’t believe how you done this, I have a good friend from München, she is a true Bavarian, and I think she would be outraged how you served these beers, 1) you put ice in your glass 2) didn’t rinse the glass first 3) you used the same glass for all beers 4) you didn’t pour the entire bottle of the wheat beer, the best part is in the bottom.
I was actually surprised that the Becks was that good compared to the others!
i cannot stand Beck's! what is so humorous, was that in USA, (where i 1st tasted and hated Beck's) there was a beer, 'St Pauli Girl', featuring a buxom Bavarian type lass in dirndl, of course that's NOTHING like a girl would look in St Pauli, home of the notorious Reeperbahn!!!
well it is just a very average and light taste. So it is also kind of "closer" to UD beer as others. I would not consider it "good" but it is not bad.
In Bremen, where Beck's is brewed, they also have two beers that can only be purchased in Bremen.
These are called Haake Beck and Haake Beck Kräusen. They are really nice and shame can't get them everywhere
The sad thing is that Becks in the US is MADE in the US. Entirely different from the Becks in Germany.
Becks is the beer you drink, if you are too drunk to drink real beer.
Wie das Land so das Bier. Jever Pilsener. When I go home to Ostfriesland, my brother buys a small keg for me alone. It is wonderfully clean and bitter. I do not drink Bavarian beers.
I would love to share that keg with you! Best make that 2. I do have a passion for Bavarian beers as I grew up with Bavarian/Austrian neighbours and I love the culture/accent because that was the German I was taught to speak. The food and culture I grew up with, seeing as my best friend and neighbour was Austrian-Bavarian.
Well, it's a tough call being born in Texas, raised in Oklahoma but made with German parts :o), Mom from Munchen a war bride. Have a fondness of Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr because of family ties to the company and Spaten. Aunt and uncle introduced us to mixing most our beer with lemonade, but when the wallet is light, Bud and Coors are the fix.
I like Bitburger, always loved it's bitterness. But if I have to chose one beer I'd have to drink my whole life, I'd go with Karjala from Finland or Mariestads from Sweden.
very north heavy selection and a tiny bit of munic but beside some big brands you can only get beer local or regional
My favorite of the beers you tasted is either the Erdinger or the Paulaner Weissbier. They are a bit similar to me to know which one is the best without trying. My absolute favorite of all time though is Störtebeker Bernstein Weizen.
I think that Becks is one of the most boring beers I tried in Germany though.
I am from Sweden, but like german beer a lot after a year of exchange studies in Germany ages ago. :)
The problem with the bottled beers is, that there are a lot of light sensitive molecules, which gives the flavour/ aroma. So if between the brevery and you, anyone stored it badly, than the flavour and odor will get worse and worse. That is why they use green or brown bottles and no normal transparent glass, they try to protect the beer inside against light. You can try it at home with 2 bottles easily, and feel the difference. It is not possible to tell after one try, whether the beer itself is not good or just was stored badly.
Those were a lot of supermarket beers probably belonging to the Radeberger group. So you should try the Radeberger itself also.
Thanks Deana and Phil, great video as always.👍 My favorite German beers are Spaten and Paulaner.
You need to put a slice of Lemon in Erdinger.
Very entertaining video 🤣 I really wanna try this stuff out on the weekend coz I often vary which beer is my favourite but I really like the Eastern European beers like Tyskie, Pilsner Urquell and Staropramen.
You didn't mention the PRIMARY difference between Weissbier and the lagers you previously mentioned, and that is the yeast used to ferment it. Weissbier uses a specific ale yeast,, is fermented at much higher temperatures, and gives off significant estery flavors and smells.
I love that they're better all mixed 😂😂♥️
Find schade das die Bekannten Ostdeutschen Biere wie zum Beispiel
Radeberger Pilsner , Ur-Krostitzer oder Hasseröder fehlen sonst gutes Video!
Whats the point of WATCHING this, as long as I cannot join immediately? Hang on, I'll be back later.
Ice cubes in German beer?! Yea no, put it in the fridge instead!
Well I am from Belgium so
OF COURSE I love our beers.
If you visit our country,
I think you need to try:
1. Duvel, which is our dialect for the word "duivel" = Teufel (so kind of like saying "Tüfl" and saying/shouting it really angry 🤣).
2. Hoegaarden (a weissbier with coriander, I love it and all the grannies 👵 drink it for some reason, they claim it doesn't give such a big headache 🤔🤷🏻♀️).
3. Rodenbach. (Roten Bach, Red Bach) I love it, but it's brewed in the West part of Flanders so you would most likely need to go to the belgian coast to try it, 🌊⛵it's tradition, they serve it with shrimp (which you peel yourself)
There are plenty of beers here, but I would leave pils up to the Czech people. 🍺
We have so many different styles, you could try whatever you feel like trying. 365 days in a year, a different beer for every day. 🍻
German here, I had Duvel in Belgium and liked it. But for some reason I always thought someone spiked a sweet Kölsch with a shot of Vodka. Not complaining :P
I really enjoyed your video. I lived in Germany in the late 80s early 90s. I fell in love with German beer. I tried a lot of different types, and learned early that I didn’t really like Pilsner style beer, but loved Weissbier. Out of the Weissbier, I preferred Kristal Weissen. It’s not as heavy as a Hefe or Dunkel. Locally I can find Paulaner, Erdinger, and my current go to Weissbier……Franziskaner.
Kristal Weissen was the first bier that I tried when I moved to Germany and I learned that I don't really like Weissbier because after I drink it I feel like I just ate a loaf of bread. I do like a Münchner Hell.
I am so NOT offended! It’s strange that in the US, almost all beers are “lager” beers. Translation - not too strong tasting, not too hoppy. I get the feeling you probably don’t like overly hopped beers. The craft beer scene in the US has gone hop crazy - resulting in some nearly undrinkable versions. I see some Becks and Paulaners around. Used to be Lowenbrau but I think it was coopted and americanized in the 80s. And the beer scene in the US is being crowded by alcopops like hard seltzer and lemonades- a bit like Radlers in Germany only with every conceivable flavor of fruit.
The people in Bremen refuse to like Becks nowadays because it got selled to heineken i think. And that made them angry and a lot of Bars don't even sell them anymore. They drink Jever or hemelinger (i like hemi very much) or others like störtebecker.
Btw the key in the Logo of Becks, is the Bremer Schlüssel.
I love a dark beer, wheat beer, brown ale and every now and then a pale ale. I don’t like light beer just because I’ve yet to find one that’s tasty and yes what you did to that beer in the beginning offended me. If I do find German beers I’ll make a note on the brands.
I'm sure you know the 0,5 brand? It's only sold in cans, and the Pils is black, Weizen is orange and so on. They basically do what you did in the end with your 'Spuckereste-Bier' (without the Spucke).
They buy beer from different breweries and just toss them together. And to be honest, i like it most of the time...😂🍻
I didnt know that they mix together different beers. Thats hillarious. I just liked it because its cheap and tastes better than most of the common brand beers.
You should try the non pils Warsteiner it's much better. Also try Lorhers brand as well as 1878's. These two beer brands are the best in Germany in my opinion.
I love Beck’s - reminds me of my dad who passed away in 2013. He used to stop for two Beck’s on his way home from work - I have tried Oëttinger. After trying it for the first time recently, I love it! A$5 per 500mL can at a local bottleshop
It was very entertaining to witness your transformation from sober to tipsy 🤣🤣🤣. My boyfriend and I loved this video.
Hefewiesen ( wheat bier ) does not have bananas in it, it is a flavour from the yeast and the fermentation temperature makes a banana note to it
Thanks for the shoutout! 😉 it’s so funny cause jared and I love the dark bottled bitter beers 🥲🥲
Sounds like the perfect balance! You two can have all the Pils and we'll figure out which ones we prefer!
Hahahaah PERFECT 🤩
3:35 "It's the only one in this type of bottle" my grandma would strongly dissagree if she would be still alive, cause she drunk Potts as her favourite beer
I like drunk Phil pronouncing all of those beer names. I like drunk Deana dancing around. Finish your beers you two! Haha! Thanks for the video!
I tried to be offended, but I couldn't. You're too adorable. A toast from me with my just opened Scheyern Kloster-Weisse. By the way, the Perlenbacher beer sold in Lidl is made by Oettinger, so it's probably the same thing.
Weirdly enough about ALL types of Oettinger Bier are quite tasty... Schwarzbier, Weizen (even the one without alcohol...) Oettinger Alkoholfrei, that crazy half-alcohol Schankbier they have... And then there´s Oettinger Pils, which tastes like "Omma unterm Arm" (licking grandma´s armpit), as people tend to say. It´s the real Pennerglück and devastatingly horrible. All the others... quite yummy.
And what Phil called a handgrenade is a "Bügelflasche" or "Ploppflasche". Handgrenade probably means the stubby, 0.5 and 0.3l Maurerbomben, mostly sold by Veltins and a few other breweries.
But generally you shouldn´t compare different kinds of beer against each other. Different Pilsener against each other and different Weißbiere against each other would make much more sense.
And if you really, absolutely feel like drinking something that will help you puke: Try Nürnberger Rauchbier. But don´t tell me I didn´t warn you again doing so! 🤣
I have had several of the beers you tried and it was fun watching your reactions. My personal favorite beer is Spaten Oktoberfest and I always have a few cases on hand. I would love to see an Oktoberfest lineup on your show.
I'm late to the party but I've spent a lot of time in Munich and I was taught early on that when you clink glasses in a toast that touch the glasses at the bottom so as not break them which can be easily done by touching the rims together.
Yeah,Flens, ein richtigen Bier, kein Abwaschwasser aus Bayern! ( ich habe mich gewählt ausgedrückt 😀)👍👍👍👍😀😀😀👍👍
ich bin gewiss kein Bayer, aber diese Aussage ist wirklich Kokolores, wobei ich gehen Flens nichts gesagt haben will...
a little controversial take ;) is the beer from Flensborg(Flensburger) really a German beer ;) I mean historically it's only in the recent history that it was not a part of Denmark ;)
If you drink beer without the matching food you cannot enjoy and make the right connection.
If you really want to get a taste of different beers, go to the Bamberg area, every small town around it has at least three breweries, with very different brewing styles.

Deena give Phil a blind beer taste test of US vs German beers. I bet he can't tell difference.
Oh that would be fun
I need to see that. Please do that.
I from South Carolina and used to work for a German company. On my trips I enjoyed bit and krom. It's funny I don't drink in the US. My fav is Presedente from Dominican Republic.
Beck's also has an American label. Saint Pauli Girl. Becks with a different lable.
