I'm sure someone has already commented on this, but "bottom fermented" means the use of a Lager yeast, as opposed to being "top fermented" which uses an Ale yeast. Bottom-fermented beers are fermented at a lower temperature than Top-fermented beers as well, which tends to leave a cleaner, crisper flavor and mouthfeel.
Also significantly lower methanol content that has to then be filtered out as methanol is very poisonous and even in relatively small doses can cause permanent blindness...
@@edim108 methanol/ethanol? Its not the same. To clarify, methanol is poisonous in small amounts and should be avoided in ANY beverage or any other thing meant for human consumption. Ethanol is normal alcohol.
Top or bottom fermentation does not have a very long definition. It derives for the fact, that there are two types of yeast. One floats to the top, and the other to the bottom.
I used to do a bunch of work for a catholic school and church. They would get beer delivered with zero labels.

You should drink the Estrella very cold and not after leaving it to sit while you drink three other ones... And its a light cheap beer completely different of the two that surround it. Well served, it's much better that the Kronenbourg... Significative that you did not like the best of all, the Rochefort... No wonder they like Bud light in the US...
8:04 they sure can, some of the best Belgian beer is brewed in monasteries. Same goes for Dutch beers. One of the worlds best beers according to people is Westvleteren, which is also brewed by monks. By the way, except for the Rochefort, there are so many more better beers here Europe than the ones you have here. You should also drink Rochefort slowly. It’s not meant to be chugged down. I know you’re probably used to drink piss like Bud light, but this is real beer 😂.
Some people read that as "expert" I guess and get triggered if he doesn't like the ones that are good to the rest of us. He is a reactor trying something he won't understand the flavor of. IPA at one time was hard to like for me but now I see the mix of hops have to be specific to my liking. As long as it's not crazy dank and bitter, then I'll drink it. Malty beers can't be overly sweet and roasted for my liking.
Good video friend. Estrella Galicia won a contest in England. It was the winner of the best beer in the world, winning the award for best beer in the prestigious British World Beer Challenge competition. The 1906 is one of the best. Visit Spain, one of the best countries in the world in quality of life, and especially in beer. All the best.
Dude.. at least inform yourself a bit about Belgian beers.. You don't chug a Trappist (it can only be named Trappist if brewed by monks btw), you drink it slowly and enjoy it. If you don't like the sweet taste, don't go for dark beer, go for a Tripel. It hurts my soul you actually put sewage like Stiegl above an actual craft beer.
When Bud started doing marketing in France and called themselves "King of Beers" i felt insulted...for all our belgian brothers, since we share a border and can easily find their beers in our shops; THEY are the Kings of Beers
Innis & Gunn is one of my favourites. Super flavourful, you can taste the barrel, and it's enough of a heavy hitter to get you to where you wanna be in not too long of a time.
@@FriskyOCallahan I've only had Old Speckled Hen a couple of times, but, to the best of my recollection, I&G is totally different, since it's aged in bourbon casks.
@@Andytreblezero What, those little bottles are like £1 each in my local Arab store in Glasgee, stop drinking in Edinburgh City Centre, those are tourist prices.
Hell is German for "light," while dunkel means "dark" and Stiegel means "stairs." You'll notice on the can, under the name, a set of red stairs. In the USA you'll see a lot of Stiegel Radlers, which are shandies. Grapefruit is their big one but most American shandies are lemon. Leinenkugel does a lot of different shandy beers.
It also goes for Dutch, but then it is "helder" which means clear or bright. (so light as in colour, not in abf%). There is a river "Hel" in the Netherlands with a city Helmond next to it which translates to "Hellmouth", but it means the mouth of the river the Hel (which probably was very clear in the past), not a door to Satan's realm 🙂
As someone from the england 🏴 I would say that the kroninberg 1664 is just a regular larger/beer, the others are more craft beers or certainly is where you would find it on the shelves in the supermarket or off licence (liquor store for you American folk).

Here in Canada we call all big named American beers as " COTTAGE BEER!!! AS IT'S NEAR WATER"!!! Interms of the historic reality of beer it was made as a nutritional supplement with an added bonus of a buzz after working hard all day or breaks in combat!!! The used to try their best for flavour but....nutrition came first!!!
I'm English, and this is my first visit here, hearing this wonderful Southern gentleman portraying the French with a sardonic sigh as, ''Ah, those Pussies'' was music to my ears. You have now got me sir, Oh and my local pub is a Sam Smith's pub.
You’re right. But I suppose this isn’t the real purpose of this video. It’s supposed to be funny/entertaining. When you’re really into craft beers, nobody beats the Belgians! (Westvleteren, Westmalle, Orval, Rochefort, Struise brouwers, Gouden Carolus, Karmeliet, Duvel … its’s a long list …)
The lack of a review astonish's me. Like or dont like is not a review. Why do you like or not is a review? characteristic's of each drink as opposed too "tastes like piss"
I came here for the comments from seething Europeans who can’t take an sort of jokes and do nothing but circle jerk about themselves. Lots of you will sit on American social media complaining and making jokes about anything American but can’t take a joke about a “monk beer” as if it’s a personal slight.
Here in Germany craft beer isn't considered 'real beer', a original beer here costs between 50cents and 1€ per half liter bottle at the supermarket. A Craft Beer costs between 1€ and 8€ per bottle. From each one you have a choice of around 20 different, while the original beer is 80% German and the other 20% are from other countries like Tschechia. American beer you can't find here...., no one sells Miller or 'american' Budweiser.... The craft beers are different. Half of them come from Germany, half from all over the world, mostly from Australia and New Zealand..... They've great taste, some like a bit Banana or Mango, but it doesn't taste like real beer. I prefer a nothern german style beer like Jever. Bit bitter, but really refreshing or a Radler, half beer half lemon-limonade... Younger people in Germany prefer beer mixed with coke, wheat beer mixed with bananajuice or mixed with a energy drink like Red Bull. If they have a day were they need to blackout they would drink Red Bull mixed with Vodka, or Whiskey-Coke and some Jäger shots ...
@@inigo9000pils is very much beer. It is nothing else. There was a time in england when ale had no hops and beer contained hops. That was the distinction.
If its "bottom fermented" its a lager and fermented and aged cold, if its "top fermented" its an ale, fermented at around room temp. This is why if you brewed some beer then split the bach and fermented one with a bottom fermenting yeast cold, and the other with a top fermenter, you would have made one half batch of lager and a half batch of ale, out of essentially the same ingredients.
The Innis and Gunn seems to be high end but not desperately expensive in UK Beer started out as water substitute when water had cholera and other interesting side effects
Trappist beer is a drink and not beverage.Major difference. Estrella is very famous in Greece (we have similar taste to the Spanish) and apart from the usual European ones , Sapporo beer sells well
Not surprising that as a beer drinker you would choose the Tadcaster beer. England brew some of the best beers in the world. Larger or light beer is on the whole very similar. But ,Stouts,Bitter, and IPA beers take years of experience to get right and England has been brewing beer since the 1st century.
In 2010 I was 28 years old and enjoyed studying after 6 years of work. Part of it was 1 semester in Ourense, Spain, where Estrella Galicia was the local brew. They had it on tap in the University Cafeteria for 70 Cent per 250ml Glas. You can bet, that I had me a fresh tapped beer every morning at 10 during the first break 🤣 it was an outstanding experience 😁 I love the whole of Galicia a lot. Great people!
Alhambra 1925 is probably one of the best simple beers I’ve had. Made in Spain. Also, Budweiser in Spain is excellent. Tastes completely different and manufactured there.
Wow, those import prices hit you guys hard! That Innis & Gunn is only £1.70 each (about $2.15) in the supermarket here in the UK (I say 'only', there are definitely cheaper beers out there, significantly cheaper, but there are also plenty more expensive. £1.70 is kind of a typical price for a decent beer) and I think you can get a 6-pack for just under £10 ($12.50), and that is including our taxes. I don't know how your alcohol taxes differ from ours but assuming they're the same that still leaves a $3 markup per 6-pack just from the fact it is imported from the UK. That's kind of crazy to me because most of the US beer, even the smaller craft beers, aren't significantly different in price to our domestic & European beers over here. Also, in the UK, Kronenbourg is pretty much a standard, mainstream beer. It's a decent beer but it is also one which you would typically see being swigged by a typical gang of lads on a drunken night out, lol
You have to keep in mind Americans are used to really really cheap and frankly awful beer so anything above a dollar a can is already on the expensive fancy beer side
Need to have him do the trappist gamut, Rochefort, westmalle, westvleteren, chimay, achel, egelszell, la trappe, orval, spencer, tre fontaine, st. Bernardus, and zundert. Throw a mix of doppel, tripel, and quads to really keep him on his toes. Just a thought
@@lordirek1 No, St. Bernardus has never been labelled as a Trappist product. They made beer for Westvleteren under licence. In the 90's, with the the change in regulations, this licence agreement ended.
The Rochefort 10 is one of the best beers in the world. You just have to get a bit used to it. It's not the type of beer to down a 12 pack of, while mowing the lawn or painting the garage.
As far as daily beers go I would give Stiegel solid 7/10. There are German, Czech and Slovak lagers I would chose over Stiegel without thinking twice with the obvious king being Pilsner Urquell but Stiegel is one of the better beers you can find in normal grocery store.
As an Austrian i really like to dring Stiegl Hell during summer. But most Beer consumed in Austria has a more intense taste. Stiegl Hell is really nice and mild. Love it for a hot day
@@Ratedred from what I can tell from this video pretty sure you will like Tyskie. Nothing fancy just a good clean tasting beer great for hot days. No clue how much or even if you can get it state side but its pretty cheap here in the UK.
Austrian here. You picked a very common, basic beer. Its good, but we have much better ones. Come visit and try. Edit: Without Czech Beer you can't find the best one ;)
Not sure who selected the beers, but putting a few pretty borings beers next to the ONE BEST BEER of Belgium should be sacked Edit: oh god, he doesn't like Rochefort. What is even wrong with this guy
When i was 16 i was on a school exchange trip in normandy, and being from germany our beer drinking age is 16. I remember drinking beer with the father of my exchange student while his own son wasn´t allowed to drink with us because the drinking age for beer in france is 18 :-D
I think you have to go to the countries to get the full flavor and taste experience because a lot of the beers imported and sold in the US domestic market are subjected to our regulations for example the Guinness you get in Jamaica is totally different from that of the UK and the US I think the Abv range differs from country to country
Innis & Gunn was my favourite followed by Guinness when I used to drink. Then I moved onto Tramps Piss (Gold Label and another strong one I don’t remember the name of), but got drinking to much (you know, one for breakfast) so stopped drinking altogether. Have not drank like that (all day long) for 13 years now and my last alcoholic beverage was 4 years ago. There are so many craft beers you should try more if you can, some are really nice. 🤙
All those years drinking anything Budweiser rice beer including your old favorite bud rice light. I'm suprised Americans know what beer is made of. Give this man THE GOLDEN DRAK.
@@LiteralCrimeRave I know more aboot beer than most people. The best American beer was Henry Weinhards blue boar ale until it was bought out. Another good beer would be imperial stouts. But most mainstream American beer companies use rice in order to produce cheap pissy beer for the masses of morons.
@uncleb Mcc America is full of award winning Beers and Breweries. Just take a look at the World Beer cup. Of course, it's down to personal taste. Saying the most popular mass market American beers tend to be of low quality is correct. But bashing "American beer" is just weird IMO
"I know more aboot beer than most people." Really? "I'm suprised Americans know what beer is made of" You don't know much about the American beer industry, do you? "GOLDEN DRAK" Do you mean Gulden Draak?
Yep, Stiegl is one of the better beers we have in Austria. I especially like their unfiltered beers. They have that nice sweet, but yet bitter hops taste to them. Gösser, Murauer and Hirter aren't bad either. There are many, many small breweries with exceptional beers (like Loncium) and there is the Viennese Classic: "das 16er Blech" - Ottakringer. It tastes like piss but has a certain vibe to it nonetheless.
Also, as he seems to like the "Hell" name - it literally just means "bright" as in the beer having a bright color instead of being a dark beer (which would be "Dunkel").
Bottom fermented means the yeast used forms from the bottom of the Vat and top fermented means a yeast that forms from the top....example for bottom fermenting beer yeast: Pilsener and german wheat beers are fermented with yeast that is top forming🤙
I tried Taddy Porter for the first time a week ago, no surprise you liked it. I need to find the Scottish one. McEwan's Headspace is another whisky influenced one worth trying.
Why did he keep saying the Kronenbourg was a wheat beer? The can clearly said it was a Blonde not a Blanc. Someone on the staff clearly fed him wrong info. Same as making a big deal of bottom ferment. Yes they are called Lagers!
Always pour the beer straight down and let it hit hard so its builds up as mutch foum as possible. Extra carbon acid is added and you suppose to release some of it. Plus it brings out some flavour when you pour it straight dowm
Interesting to see your reactions to the more traditional style British beers compared to the more similar to USA style mainland European styles. The Belgium and, to a lesser extent, Dutch styles can be an acquired taste i,e, I had to drink a dozen of these because some bugger left that many behind after a party (and waste not wat not).
Lager beers are "bottom fermented" which means the yeast is on the bottom of the liquid during the fermenting process..and the temperature during the fermenting process is low = 45-55 Fahrenheit Ales and Stouts and Wheat beers are "top fermented" which means the yeast is floating on top of the liquid during the fermenting process...and the temperature during the fermenting process is high = 65 -75 Fahrenheit By the way "hell" is the German term for "bright/clear/lightish"
@@belicarius When i appeared to a friend's door in Granada with 4 packs of 24 beers green Mahou,he thot i have some mental illness. But i'm not crazy,i just refuse to drink that piss they call beer there.😄
Rochfort is something specific for people who have a taste for Belgian special beer. I suggest you try an ice cold duvel (the regular one) or something or just a pils like stella or jupiler. Just drink one or two duvels... For some reason or the other can't handle our beers.
As a beer experienced drinker, I have to say, Spain and France do not have any idea of how to brew, and beers are most all of them a fail (usually lagers, with a lack of flavour and, above all, personality). On a personal ranking, I would put in the third place Czech beers. A big standard jar is ridiculously cheap (almost cheaper than a bottle of water in a vending machine), and they are strong, intense and fantastic. On the second place, German-Austrian beers are excellent. The majority of them are brewed by monks (as it was originally done in the past) and they look like Czech beers but with a little bit more quality and taste. And then, above all of them (with a remarkable superiority), you have Belgian beers. Always trust monks, they know what they are doing. High prices but God, they are so intense and strong, and have around 8-8.5 % alcohol ok average. If you really know about beers, you have personality and experience, to drink a Belgian beer is like to make your debut for Real Madrid or Barcelona. These americans have no clue about European beers.
Ok coming from England we love beer and i loved your review . Hell style is a good summer BBQ drink refreshing and light . 1664 is crap it's what piss-heads drink to get drunk . Innis and gunn cough ummmm nice one Scotland :) love it . Estrella drain cleaner . Trapp beer , good winter log fire sipping beer , why do you think the monks brew it ?? well it's simple to get revenge on people who swear and cuss lol . Sam Smith it's legitimate good brewed Ale another good winter beer , all the writing on the back of beers and some whisky its just unwanted flannel . Now if you see another UK beer called John Smiths Smooth , pick up the nearest gun you can find and shoot the hell out of the can because that's chemical piss.
Estrella drain cleaner?? I guess you are mistaken with other Estrella, but not Galicia. It's much better than any beer I've drank in UK, and I've lived there...
In what world is $2.50 expensive for a beer? I mean if you are used to buying 60 packs of water masquerading as beer, then I suppose. But $15 for a 6pk is not pricey. Best beer up there is the Rochefort
@@aaronfalzerano9432 $12, $15. Not much of a difference. Depends on what the beer is as well. 6pk of a domestic macro beer vs a 6pk of an imported beer. If it is a hoppy beer or an imperial stout, they cost more to make, and should be more money vs something like a lager or wheat beer.
They are not made by the same company. Estrella Galicia is the flagship of Hijos de Rivera , the company brews a lot of tipes of beer. Estrella Damm is a brand of Damm company.
Tadcaster is home to 2 breweries... John Smiths is the more forcefully promoted, has a brewery the size of a petrol refinery and sells beers all over the UK in clubs, pubs and supermarkets... But, Samuel Smiths (brothers) is much smaller operation but the many beers they produce are second to none and a must go to for beer affectionados.
I just had my first 1664 when I was at a pub in Singapore. That was easily one of the nastiest beers I've ever tried. For one of the first times in my life I contemplated about not finishing a beer. Out of principle, I choked it down but felt a little ashamed. Wow that was a bad beer!
Stiegl- 1 💶euro (price in Austria), 1664 - 1,10 euro (...in France) , Estrella - 0,65 euro (...in Spain). All prices are more less. Price could be different depending on wich country You are at the moment.
A Boss needs to do a tasting of fringe / gimmick beers. A few suggestions would be Dogfish Head Celeste Jewel, Epic One Water, Rogue Beard Beer, Yoni (Poland), Lost Rhino-Bone Dusters Paleo, Dock Street Walker for a start. Just his reaction to reading the labels might go viral. 🤣
The order of Trappiste monks at Abbey de Rochefort have been brewing beer since the early 1500's, over 200yrs before the US existed.

Some people read that as "expert" I guess and get triggered if he doesn't like the ones that are good to the rest of us. He is a reactor trying something he won't understand the flavor of.

Malty beers can't be overly sweet and roasted for my liking.

Well, if you know nothing about beer you end up with this.
Good video friend.
Estrella Galicia won a contest in England. It was the winner of the best beer in the world, winning the award for best beer in the prestigious British World Beer Challenge competition. The 1906 is one of the best. Visit Spain, one of the best countries in the world in quality of life, and especially in beer. All the best.
Dude.. at least inform yourself a bit about Belgian beers.. You don't chug a Trappist (it can only be named Trappist if brewed by monks btw), you drink it slowly and enjoy it.
If you don't like the sweet taste, don't go for dark beer, go for a Tripel.
It hurts my soul you actually put sewage like Stiegl above an actual craft beer.

People have different tastes and preferences. Imagine that 😦🙄
If Stiegl is sewage what are American beers. 😂

Hell is German for "light," while dunkel means "dark" and Stiegel means "stairs."

In the USA you'll see a lot of Stiegel Radlers, which are shandies. Grapefruit is their big one but most American shandies are lemon. Leinenkugel does a lot of different shandy beers.
Wasn't that a Dutch beer.
@@clivechandler8817 Stiegel? It's Austrian.
It also goes for Dutch, but then it is "helder" which means clear or bright. (so light as in colour, not in abf%). There is a river "Hel" in the Netherlands with a city Helmond next to it which translates to "Hellmouth", but it means the mouth of the river the Hel (which probably was very clear in the past), not a door to Satan's realm 🙂
@@marcovtjev Interesting. Thanks for the info!
Also, "die" means "the" 😂
Neither Kronenbourg or Estrella are ‘craft’ in any way shape or form.
Even innis & Gunn are tentative in that category.
Neither is Stiegel.
Not a lot of craft beer in this review, for instance In France I wouldn’t pick 1664 ( industrial) but gallia or piggy brewery
As someone from the england 🏴 I would say that the kroninberg 1664 is just a regular larger/beer, the others are more craft beers or certainly is where you would find it on the shelves in the supermarket or off licence (liquor store for you American folk).

You’re right. But I suppose this isn’t the real purpose of this video. It’s supposed to be funny/entertaining. When you’re really into craft beers, nobody beats the Belgians! (Westvleteren, Westmalle, Orval, Rochefort, Struise brouwers, Gouden Carolus, Karmeliet, Duvel … its’s a long list …)
The lack of a review astonish's me.
Like or dont like is not a review.
Why do you like or not is a review? characteristic's of each drink as opposed too "tastes like piss"
A beer can only be called trappist if it's brewed by monks. To each his tastes but they have quite a large number of fans, i quite like them 😁
That "Monk" beer is considered one of the best beers in the world. Guess yer more of Busch light guy.
Furthermore Double-Bock beers are the only beer approved by the pope to be consumed during passover because of monks
Yeah, but that was a 10, not a good one to start on. I'd say try an 8 or maybe in his case a 6.
I hate Belgian beer personally,don’t like the Belgian yeasts.and I’m not a “Busch light” guy
I came here for the comments from seething Europeans who can’t take an sort of jokes and do nothing but circle jerk about themselves. Lots of you will sit on American social media complaining and making jokes about anything American but can’t take a joke about a “monk beer” as if it’s a personal slight.
You drank a rochefort 10, they have others like 6 or 8 that would be a much better introduction, lol. 10 is a heavy hitter.
I've had the 8 and the 10 and both were absolutely delicious with a bit of a chill. I'm not a beer guy, but I can put Rochefort away with ease.
10 is perfection in a bottle
Here in Germany craft beer isn't considered 'real beer', a original beer here costs between 50cents and 1€ per half liter bottle at the supermarket.
A Craft Beer costs between 1€ and 8€ per bottle. From each one you have a choice of around 20 different, while the original beer is 80% German and the other 20% are from other countries like Tschechia. American beer you can't find here...., no one sells Miller or 'american' Budweiser....
The craft beers are different. Half of them come from Germany, half from all over the world, mostly from Australia and New Zealand.....
They've great taste, some like a bit Banana or Mango, but it doesn't taste like real beer.
I prefer a nothern german style beer like Jever. Bit bitter, but really refreshing or a Radler, half beer half lemon-limonade...
Younger people in Germany prefer beer mixed with coke, wheat beer mixed with bananajuice or mixed with a energy drink like Red Bull.
If they have a day were they need to blackout they would drink Red Bull mixed with Vodka, or Whiskey-Coke and some Jäger shots ...
I think you’re probably talking about pils, that’s not real beer and most definitely not “original beer”.
@@inigo9000pils is very much beer.
It is nothing else.
There was a time in england when ale had no hops and beer contained hops. That was the distinction.

@@tortap "There was a time in england when ale had no hops and beer contained hops."
Pretty sure that originated in the lowland countries.
Love the honesty in the review of each beer, but craft beers aren't really meant to be chugged down.
It's amazing how I love the beers Boss is hating on. Cheers to different taste!
If its "bottom fermented" its a lager and fermented and aged cold, if its "top fermented" its an ale, fermented at around room temp.
This is why if you brewed some beer then split the bach and fermented one with a bottom fermenting yeast cold, and the other with a top fermenter, you would have made one half batch of lager and a half batch of ale, out of essentially the same ingredients.
The Innis and Gunn seems to be high end but not desperately expensive in UK
Beer started out as water substitute when water had cholera and other interesting side effects
Trappist beer is a drink and not beverage.Major difference. Estrella is very famous in Greece (we have similar taste to the Spanish) and apart from the usual European ones , Sapporo beer sells well
Is Estrella different from the Mexican one?
@@Duquedecastro Even though I've been to Mexico several times my knowledge of Mexican beers is limited
@@asicdathens I figured out that Spain has two different Estrella labels and Mexico has yet another
@@DuquedecastroVery different, stronger (Galicia is a cold region of Spain). But dont mistake it with Estrella Damm, a dfferent company.
@@Kakonan I can and I did
Not surprising that as a beer drinker you would choose the Tadcaster beer. England brew some of the best beers in the world. Larger or light beer is on the whole very similar. But ,Stouts,Bitter, and IPA beers take years of experience to get right and England has been brewing beer since the 1st century.
We need a tshirt that has AL Boss's shadow in a sophisticated pose, and the words "It all started with the Monk beer" emblazoned on it
I'd think a shirts print that says _"BURB"_ would be more authentic…
Innis & Gunn quickly became my favorite beer of all time when I popped my first bottle 10 years ago.
The taddy porter is an awesome beer.
I have never tried taddy. I know I want to where can I get this.
In 2010 I was 28 years old and enjoyed studying after 6 years of work. Part of it was 1 semester in Ourense, Spain, where Estrella Galicia was the local brew. They had it on tap in the University Cafeteria for 70 Cent per 250ml Glas. You can bet, that I had me a fresh tapped beer every morning at 10 during the first break 🤣 it was an outstanding experience 😁 I love the whole of Galicia a lot. Great people!
Belgium, breathes a sigh of relief!
Yeah lol, slamming a beer like that ain’t bright.
Man up! Rochefort is a damn fine beer!
Here in EU Innis & Gunn is for non beer drinkers who need vanilla flavour to appreciate the brew 😂

Alhambra 1925 is probably one of the best simple beers I’ve had. Made in Spain. Also, Budweiser in Spain is excellent. Tastes completely different and manufactured there.
Samuel Smith's is also really good value by the way, at least here in the UK
He's back I missed him so much my weekend's are back to be better than ever
Wow, those import prices hit you guys hard! That Innis & Gunn is only £1.70 each (about $2.15) in the supermarket here in the UK (I say 'only', there are definitely cheaper beers out there, significantly cheaper, but there are also plenty more expensive. £1.70 is kind of a typical price for a decent beer) and I think you can get a 6-pack for just under £10 ($12.50), and that is including our taxes. I don't know how your alcohol taxes differ from ours but assuming they're the same that still leaves a $3 markup per 6-pack just from the fact it is imported from the UK. That's kind of crazy to me because most of the US beer, even the smaller craft beers, aren't significantly different in price to our domestic & European beers over here. Also, in the UK, Kronenbourg is pretty much a standard, mainstream beer. It's a decent beer but it is also one which you would typically see being swigged by a typical gang of lads on a drunken night out, lol
25% markup on an import is not high, most products imported from the uk are marked up by at least that much, ie $2 per can of irn bru
Good Craft beer is expensive in the states.Most UK beer isn’t drank in the US so they are gonna charge more.
You have to keep in mind Americans are used to really really cheap and frankly awful beer so anything above a dollar a can is already on the expensive fancy beer side

Need to have him do the trappist gamut, Rochefort, westmalle, westvleteren, chimay, achel, egelszell, la trappe, orval, spencer, tre fontaine, st. Bernardus, and zundert. Throw a mix of doppel, tripel, and quads to really keep him on his toes. Just a thought
St Bernardus is not trappist
@@tortap you're not wrong, but it was labeled one until the early nineties. Then the qualifications for a Trappist became a lot more strict.
@@lordirek1 No, St. Bernardus has never been labelled as a Trappist product.
They made beer for Westvleteren under licence.
In the 90's, with the the change in regulations, this licence agreement ended.
The Rochefort 10 is one of the best beers in the world. You just have to get a bit used to it. It's not the type of beer to down a 12 pack of, while mowing the lawn or painting the garage.
I hope Alabama Boss tries some beers from Boss Brewing someday. Would just go hand in hand🏴🏴
As far as daily beers go I would give Stiegel solid 7/10. There are German, Czech and Slovak lagers I would chose over Stiegel without thinking twice with the obvious king being Pilsner Urquell but Stiegel is one of the better beers you can find in normal grocery store.
I absolutely disagree about the Trappist beer. Stuff is good and strong.
totally agree but in his defense it couldn’t be more different from what he likes
Unless you don’t like the yeast.I hate banana clove a major tasting note in many quads and trippels.

As an Austrian i really like to dring Stiegl Hell during summer.
But most Beer consumed in Austria has a more intense taste. Stiegl Hell is really nice and mild. Love it for a hot day

I think you have to go to the countries to get the full flavor and taste experience because a lot of the beers imported and sold in the US domestic market are subjected to our regulations for example the Guinness you get in Jamaica is totally different from that of the UK and the US I think the Abv range differs from country to country
Guinness is carbonated outside of Ireland.Nitrogenated in Ireland

Bottom fermented: Yeast doesn't float, but buils up at the bottom.
Yep, Stiegl is one of the better beers we have in Austria. I especially like their unfiltered beers. They have that nice sweet, but yet bitter hops taste to them. Gösser, Murauer and Hirter aren't bad either. There are many, many small breweries with exceptional beers (like Loncium) and there is the Viennese Classic: "das 16er Blech" - Ottakringer. It tastes like piss but has a certain vibe to it nonetheless.
Where in Austria are you living? I moved to Salzburg last year.
Wieselburger is better ))
Also, as he seems to like the "Hell" name - it literally just means "bright" as in the beer having a bright color instead of being a dark beer (which would be "Dunkel").
I quite like ottakringer, hoping I can find a store with it in stock before a river tubing trip I got planned
@@groyperfuhr4871 Where are you from?
Bottom fermented means the yeast used forms from the bottom of the Vat and top fermented means a yeast that forms from the top....example for bottom fermenting beer yeast: Pilsener and german wheat beers are fermented with yeast that is top forming🤙

Why did he keep saying the Kronenbourg was a wheat beer? The can clearly said it was a Blonde not a Blanc. Someone on the staff clearly fed him wrong info. Same as making a big deal of bottom ferment. Yes they are called Lagers!
Always pour the beer straight down and let it hit hard so its builds up as mutch foum as possible. Extra carbon acid is added and you suppose to release some of it. Plus it brings out some flavour when you pour it straight dowm
Interesting to see your reactions to the more traditional style British beers compared to the more similar to USA style mainland European styles. The Belgium and, to a lesser extent, Dutch styles can be an acquired taste i,e, I had to drink a dozen of these because some bugger left that many behind after a party (and waste not wat not).

Lager beers are "bottom fermented" which means the yeast is on the bottom of the liquid during the fermenting process..and the temperature during the fermenting process is low = 45-55 Fahrenheit
Ales and Stouts and Wheat beers are "top fermented" which means the yeast is floating on top of the liquid during the fermenting process...and the temperature during the fermenting process is high = 65 -75 Fahrenheit
By the way "hell" is the German term for "bright/clear/lightish"

Rochfort is something specific for people who have a taste for Belgian special beer. I suggest you try an ice cold duvel (the regular one) or something or just a pils like stella or jupiler. Just drink one or two duvels... For some reason or the other can't handle our beers.
As a beer experienced drinker, I have to say, Spain and France do not have any idea of how to brew, and beers are most all of them a fail (usually lagers, with a lack of flavour and, above all, personality). On a personal ranking, I would put in the third place Czech beers. A big standard jar is ridiculously cheap (almost cheaper than a bottle of water in a vending machine), and they are strong, intense and fantastic. On the second place, German-Austrian beers are excellent. The majority of them are brewed by monks (as it was originally done in the past) and they look like Czech beers but with a little bit more quality and taste. And then, above all of them (with a remarkable superiority), you have Belgian beers. Always trust monks, they know what they are doing. High prices but God, they are so intense and strong, and have around 8-8.5 % alcohol ok average. If you really know about beers, you have personality and experience, to drink a Belgian beer is like to make your debut for Real Madrid or Barcelona. These americans have no clue about European beers.
Ok coming from England we love beer and i loved your review . Hell style is a good summer BBQ drink refreshing and light . 1664 is crap it's what piss-heads drink to get drunk . Innis and gunn cough ummmm nice one Scotland :) love it . Estrella drain cleaner . Trapp beer , good winter log fire sipping beer , why do you think the monks brew it ?? well it's simple to get revenge on people who swear and cuss lol . Sam Smith it's legitimate good brewed Ale another good winter beer , all the writing on the back of beers and some whisky its just unwanted flannel . Now if you see another UK beer called John Smiths Smooth , pick up the nearest gun you can find and shoot the hell out of the can because that's chemical piss.
Estrella drain cleaner?? I guess you are mistaken with other Estrella, but not Galicia. It's much better than any beer I've drank in UK, and I've lived there...
Can you even imagine putting estrella between innis and rochefort? Wild man!
Better than Bud Light.
Who the Fuck doesn't like Rochefort 10?????????

In what world is $2.50 expensive for a beer? I mean if you are used to buying 60 packs of water masquerading as beer, then I suppose. But $15 for a 6pk is not pricey.

Six packs where I live in the States are $12 or under. I agree with you on the rochefort.
@@aaronfalzerano9432 $12, $15. Not much of a difference. Depends on what the beer is as well. 6pk of a domestic macro beer vs a 6pk of an imported beer. If it is a hoppy beer or an imperial stout, they cost more to make, and should be more money vs something like a lager or wheat beer.

They are not made by the same company. Estrella Galicia is the flagship of Hijos de Rivera , the company brews a lot of tipes of beer. Estrella Damm is a brand of Damm company.
Tadcaster is home to 2 breweries... John Smiths is the more forcefully promoted, has a brewery the size of a petrol refinery and sells beers all over the UK in clubs, pubs and supermarkets... But, Samuel Smiths (brothers) is much smaller operation but the many beers they produce are second to none and a must go to for beer affectionados.
I just had my first 1664 when I was at a pub in Singapore. That was easily one of the nastiest beers I've ever tried. For one of the first times in my life I contemplated about not finishing a beer. Out of principle, I choked it down but felt a little ashamed. Wow that was a bad beer!
Gives me bad heartburn.The only beer I've known to do that.Makes you wonder what they do to it.

You are right, Kronenbourg regular is piss and the 1664 tastes like a rancid Heineken
