I love your videos keep up the good work
Hello
A question I have always had is:
IPA beers have a much higher alcohol content compared to regular commercial beers. However, I live in, and have traveled to many south and south east Asian countries and many of them have a custom of drinking beer with ice in it. This comes from a time when home refrigeration wasn't abalible and people would buy blocks of ice to keep things cool. Could it be possible that this was how IPAs were also meant to be enjoyed? And thus with ice in the glass it would water down the stronger alcohol content of IPAs to someyhing closer to regular commercial brews?
could yall do a history and evolution of the different types of beers from Lagers to Pale to Guinness? I was fascinated with the whole history yall were going off on.
We need a playlist of the history of drinks
Imagine your wedding was so fun, everyone mutually agreed to celebrate your anniversary every year even long after you were dead.
Yeah that’s be cool
Must of been the best feeling ever
Brit here; we actually studied the Beer Street and Gin Lane prints when we were in school (I was 13,14?). Completely forgot that we had until now, so thank you EH for unlocking a memory. We also looked at one called "Cocaine Lane" which was a modern day one inspired by those 2 which looked at the drug epidemic in London.
Was cocaine lane compared with weed street? A bunch of smiling people with drooping red eyes happily toking and satisfying their munchies on a meandering (if a bit smokey) road...
@@adamweishaupt3733 yes! I think so.
I had this exact same thought when I saw those prints! I remember having the same expierience myself in high school
Hogarth's prints were wild. His "Marriage à la mode" and Cruelty series are full of neat little details and weird Biblical references.
American here; we had the same Beer Street and Gin Lane print on one of my history books.
Fun story about the other possible origins of Russian Imperial Stouts:
Back in the day, whenever a diplomat visited the Russian court, they were supposed to bring alcoholic beverages with them from their own nation. The Russians would then take that drink, and increase it's alcohol percentage and then serve it to the diplomat and court, with the higher alcohol percentage to establish dominance, and possibly cause Russians have a habid of making their drinks extra strong in general.
For the last 20 years, Beer has been instrumental in helping me achieve my life goal of finally contracting Gout.
History's best way of letting the world know you're a *_somebody_*
Alright King Zog, calm down
We need an episode on the history of tea, I would watch that any day!
*Uncle Iroh will remember that*
Tea 🍵 has a darker history.
@@dominicguye8058 Which is why I want to hear more about it!
@@dominicguye8058 Similar do chocolate.
Hello there.
I'll admit, beer (and alcohol in general) ain't my drug of choice, but this series has been absolutely _fascinating_ regardless!
Drug of choice?
@@luisandrade2254 I much prefer caffeine, usually through green tea or dark chocolate. (Could never get into coffee, tho.)
I've never really gotten much of the buzz other people get from alcohol, and I don't like the burn. Plus I have a naturally slow tempo, so I do better with the stimulation of a bit of caffeine than with the relaxation of alcohol.
And yes, both alcohol and caffeine are both considered drugs. They alter mind and body states, are not crucial to our survival, have been used both recreationally and medicinally, and can be dangerous in large doses.
@@hestiathena4917 i thought you were going to answer cocaine or marijuana
Opium my dude nothing like reading bible verse to my pretty plants an smoking a bit of there sap afterwards.
@@luisandrade2254 Marijuana is the seed of evil, nah not really. Altho, it certainly make people become lazy just like any other addiction except tea and coffee.
I'll admit, this series is really helping me learn the different types of beer and what types I might actually like. If stouts are really on the sweeter side and Pilsners are lighter and more refreshing I might want to try a few.
Glad to help!
Yeah I feel the same, could never find a beer I like at bars but those sound like something I could drink.
@@SkittytheKid Let me know if you find a good one!
Just like "Spot the Walpole", this series gives a second mention to William Hogarth (my favorite artist).
Who here would like to being back those really low alcohol beers (1% or less alcohol by volume, at one time called a small beer) of the bronze age, but made with modern brewing tech?
We Slavs already have that. Except we call it kvass
Small beers are actually regaining popularity and are being sold as low calorie versions of beer.
I want to try home brewing some time, but I have zero space at home XD
You can buy 0.5% alcohol beer that is sold as "alcohol free" beer, because you would have to drink like a fish to actually get drunk off of it.
@@peggyliepmann5248 You don't need *much* room, remember you're not brewing on an industrial scale :D Really the biggest part would be your wart vessel and carboy!
Love the beer flood. There was a pretty big molasses one too!
didnt all the 8 people die of alcohol poisoning?
Funny thing, my grandpa used to lead the Great Falls, Montana Octoberfest with a few local German families back in the day. It was such a success that it generated a _good deal_ of money... which led to its downfall. After my grandpa died in the early '90s, the rest of the people running the thing argued about the money portion and it ended like that.
... and funnily enough, some people have been trying to revive the tradition here...
I hope the way certain beers have gone international through colonialism comes up in the next episode. Tsingtao is probably the biggest beer in China, coming from the small German colony in China before WW1, and there's a fascinating history behind ownership of Bintang, the main beer in Indonesia, after the Heineken breweries were nationalised after Indonesia won independence.
Really hope you guys mention Yuengling in your next episode. I know it's a footnote in the history of beer worldwide, but it's one of the only breweries to survive prohibition without fully closing. In fact, it's the oldest continually operating breweries in the US and a good example of how others survived by making "near beer" and branching into other business like the Yeungling's did with ice cream.
There's no guarantee they've had Yuengling. It doesn't ship in the US west of the Mississippi.
You can drink your fancy ales,
You can drink them by the flagon,
But the only brew for the brave and true...
Comes from the Green Dragon!
Watched this with a Miller lite (Pilsner) in my hand. Finally understand what that means. Excellent series guys!
7:10 i have never before been tempted to watch/listen to a Podcast.
But if you were to upload a podcast episode about all the amazing stories you guys found during researching these episodes, I'd be SO interested!
These series on drinks have been some of the most interesting content on this channel so far. I had a buddy yesterday ask me if I had seen this series and we bonded over it
A lot of people actually don't know that most Mexican beer and famous brands are actually descended from German immigrants, while tequila, mezcal, and pulque are native born
I worked with Anheuser Busch for 13 years, becoming a distributor's craft beer specialist. This video is amazing. I love the history of beer. It's amazing thinking craft beer is such a young trend, but it's been around for centuries!
Always good to remember that Uncle Sam's Misguided Children was founded by people who were likely blind drunk.
Explains a lot, really.
And led by self taught lawyers, professors, merchants, and community leaders brought under the ideology of European enlightenment. Don’t ignore the highly educated people who formed the first democratic nation founded on government for the people.
Are you talking about the fringe conspiracy group?
@@Seth9809 That's one way to describe the USMC
@@Seth9809 Nah, the Marine Corps. USMC.
Wouldn’t have it any other way! 🇺🇸😉 😂
man it is nice to finally get to the part of history where we know and recognize most of the names as well as finally learning where they come from
As someone that knows a considerable amount about beer and beer history, this is wonderfully well researched. My only quibble is that at 6:05, the bock that’s frozen and the water/ice thrown out is known as eisbock, not doble bock.
For the record, having very recently taken the touristy tour of the Guinness factory in Dublin, the official color of Guinness is ruby red.
Actually Octoberfest dates back to the early Gothic period in Germany, and marks the best time of year to hunt wolpertinger. This rare Thuringian lagomorph is highly prized for its antlers, said to be a potent aphrodisiac. The animal's highly sensitive nose can smell good malt, and is drawn out of hiding by the scent of freshly decanted lager. This gave rise to legends that the wolpertinger can only be seen by the very drunk, but the truth is it is simply very shy around humans and will normally hide itself deep in the forests, until the scent of lager draws it out.
In reality British soldiers were only stationed in inns and taverns-incidentally places that were gathering area for potential revolutionaries
Stationed, yes
Quartered in people's houses all the same
Here in Serbia, when you are on a visit or a party, someone WILL eventualy offer you a beer or there much more popular "rakia"
It's a shame this release didn't line up with National Beer Day on April 7 in the US
@LeoTheBritish-Eurasian Yes! This year it also happened to lineup with MLB's Opening Day so it was a glorious day for cutting out of work early for a day beer and a ballgame.
@LeoTheBritish-Eurasian We have a lot of national days that don't get talked about much. Aside from meming or joking about them.
@LeoTheBritish-Eurasian A baseball player named Seth Beer won the game with a home run for the Arizona Diamondbacks on April 7th, with everyone saying how appropriate that was for National Beer Day. The team gave out a free beer for the first 10,000 people (21+) who attended last night's game in celebration.
@LeoTheBritish-Eurasian yep. it's the day Prohibition officially ended.
@@GiordanDiodato Not quite; prohibition ended a few months earlier and has its own unofficial day called Repeal Day. The Cullen-Harrison Act instead raised the limit in beer production from 0.5% weight to 3.2% (weight) / 4.05% (volume). Also so for the only legislative body to recognize this day is the Virginia General Assembly (2018). It's widely spread on twitter hashtags but not official.
I feel a huge loss by not discussing beer from Belgium
Belgian beer is overrated.
@@valloarukaevu2846 how dare you :O
Dutch beer is best! Much more variety, there are at least a thousand or so... 😋🤪🍻
Indeed; the most common beer I order from a restaurant is from Belgium.
Kind of love the progressing joke that they will do anything to join Jeff's family dinners
With the mention of tea in this video, it would be interesting to see the history of tea if they ever decide to do it.
Epic! Love beer and extra credits equally :)
Whew! That's a relief!
Funny fact about beer: in my town of schijndel, in the netherlands, in the years between 1900 and 2000, about a 100 homemade brewers ( or more ) ruled our little town until the 90's. There where so many brewers and pubs ( or "kroegen,, if you say it in dutch ) that even People all the way from Amsterdam or even germany, Engeland and france visitid our little town. Even if you consider the size of the town itself. Unfortunetly nearly 90 % of all these homemade brewers where lost. But thankfully there is still one brewer whom still makes his homemade beer till this day. There not big, but are still a fine reminder that in our little town still exsist a love for brewing. Even though this is just a smaal example of the subject, it is still a fun detail in this history lesson. Both for my town and for the history of beer. And for that i toast to all who love this amazing invention.
🍺🍻🍻🍻cheers to you all!!!😀👍
Who here would love to be back to drinking those really low alchoal content beers of the bronze age, but using modern brewing tech.
Yeah, Hancock smuggled his goods. Calling him a business man who imported his goods is incredibly generous.
Well, it is technically correct.
The term "busines" itself doesn't distinguish between legal and illegal ventures.
Same goes for import. That activity too may be done on either side of the law.
Besides, aren't all man-made laws ultimately arbitrary? 😉
is that difference not simply a legal distinction?
@@zebedeesummers4413 Evade customs with a few items you are a smuggler; evade it for a lot of goods and instead you are an importer. It's a long the same lines as "treason never prospers".
Damm Yankies! The Crown does not approve of this!
I'm from near Munich. When I went to university, my roommate, who was from Berlin, asked me if I wear Lederhosen for the Oktoberfest. It left him somewhat stunned when I told him that I never went.😄
My favorite beer would have to be Lambec, a light Belgium beer, that undergoes a second form of fermentation with wild yeast and fruit juice most often cherries.
7:10 - and trust ME, I'd enjoy every SECOND of it!
Gonna grab me another beer hehe
A doppelbock is something different as an eisbock you described. Also where the pale lagers in munich only possible by the invention of industrial water softening. Formerly only possible in regions with soft waters Ike Pilsen.
While I shouldn't be that surprised considering the topic it put a smile on my face to see Grandaddy Arthur Guinness show up while watching this morning 😁
(7:07) That kind of garnishing is known as a michelada, and they say it tastes better if drunk from a clay vase (a really big one).
Home brewer here! Really enjoying this series thank you! Making some beer right now!
Are you going to discuss the post prohibition and ww2 homogenization of American beer types in the market? My father said that the large beer companies tried to make a brew that would appeal to he most amount of the population, so many beers on mid century America tasted the same. And now brewpubs and craft beer in the 90’s gave a rebirth to a more vibrant beer market in America( along with the internet in the 2010’s).
ugh this is making me want a stiff stout. Cheers to Extra Credits!
Putting the start of the video in perspective: "Three rich men complain about the consequences of their colony starting a war with the French and their Native allies and having to support the troops the crown never wanted to send there in the first place, and so plan to launch revolution to avoid further taxation."
U should mention why they use Steam-Engines in Brewerys. ... refrigeration for producing Ice. So you can brew Beer all year long, and no need of storing Winter Ice in the Basement anymore. :)
Best series on the channel. Love learning about my favorite drink
As a Guinness fan, I mentally cheered when you mentioned it. Guinness extra stout and black coffee will be the end of me lol
I just want to thank you for explaining the different kinds of beer...I don't drink but I am often asked to buy beer for my husband and his friends when I am at the store and I am totally lost most of the time!
Beer in hand. It must be time for Extra Credits History about Beer 🍺
What a glaring oversight, not a single mention of Charlie Mops!
You could make a Beer Chart print with all these lovely recreations here :D.
A refreshing series this is!
Yes! Their drink drawings look so tasty and refreshing!
"You can drink your fancy ales, You can drink them by the flagon, But the only brew for the brave and true... ..Comes from the Green Dragon!"
To be fair, being able to give a speech while drunk IS quite impressive 😄
Pilsner must have been popular in sweden too, since today the word is used interchangeably with Beer, for any beer.
Thank your for this upload! My day off is starting off right 😎
7:30 reminds me of the Boston Molasses flood of 1921.
This is a love letter to my favourite beverage and I'm here for it
I hope we get a history of soda next!!
Would love to hear more on the types of beer, was a wicked segment as an ametuer hobby brewer
This has been such a lovely series. One of my favorites if I’m honest lol
Thank you! We've had a great time making it happen!
I love that name!!!! The Green Dragon Tavern, super cool.
Sounds like something out of Lord of the Rings lol
You're out there Beer Baron and I'm going to catch ya!
Here you go Barn. That'll be 45 bucks.
45 bucks?! Well this better be the best tasting beer in the world.
*takes sip
You got lucky.
Do a series or episode on other forms alcohol like whiskey, vodka, rum, sake, wine, etc
Beer unites and divides, turns out.
7:34 reminded me of the floods video from Sam O’Nella video where 13 people died of alcohol poisoning from an alcohol flood that also set fire
PANR has tuned in.
This is extremely entertaining
Gabriel Sedlmayr should be credited for developing pale lager in the 1830s, not the 1930s.
Beer, Healthy?
Im shocked the Gastroenterologists havent sued for falsified information on that XD
learn more about water quality that time)
cigarettes...
There actually are some health benefits to beer in the same vain as wine, wether they outweigh the alcohol is another thing.
Moderation is important. It's a decent source of vitamin b and protein, studies indicate it slows the decline of HDL cholesterol, the silicon in it contributes to bone density and because of the alcohol it aides in oral health by killing bacteria. These results were all drawn from people who only indulge 3-4 times a week so as I said, moderation.
You know how bottled water started out as a Euro thing? Nobody drinks tap water still, all those old pipes have a lot of schmutz, not good tasting first off.
To slightly miss quote V for Vendetta: " a revolution without drinking is a revolution not worth having."
Cold beer here!
I’ll take seven.
And I thought only hobbits went to the green dragon tavern
Ahhhh beer. What strange history you had.
🎶But the only brew for the Brave and True,
Comes from the Green Dragon!🎶 🍻
I love that you guys used the EITC logo from Pirates of the Caribbean
Forgot the story of how in Ireland a beer flood happened and no one died until we drank it
I always loved to try local beers whenever I got around BUT I'll never forgive the spanish when they put ice cubes into my lager (for cooling it down, because summer heat) and in the end I had watered Beer :D Pain for my german soul... Just cool it in a cellar
You learn something everyday with Extra Credits
A bit disappointed that they didn't sneak Solidus in the Son of Liberty reunion
oh man that last minute pun. Chefs kiss.
Porter is my favorite beer by far I'm drinking some right now 🍺
For a minute I thought this was an episode of Historia I've never seen before, lol :)
I would have loved to hear more of the story about native American alcohol and how colonists introduced stronger alcohol to native Americans
I still wanna how how the Russian took a Potato and managed to make one of the strongest liquors with it
Sitting here getting slowly sloshed while learning! Yay! Internet!
The perfect series to drink a good old Kölsch to.
Prost!
I recall those Hogarth etchings.
Best history channel ever
Extra credit does the best research on TH-cam but there is so much more research you can learn just by Browning your own beer
"members of parliament were actually admired for their ability to give speeches whilst drunk"
*Boris Johnson has entered the chat
The infamous London Beer flood. Sam O'Nella would be proud.
I don't like watching these because I want like 15 hours, I can't wait another week dangit
Great title!
I like how everyone just took the other styles and reinvented it.
I am reminded of the Time Squad episode where the team kicked things off by getting coffee into the revolutionaries, after which they started acting like drunk fratboys. That is one exaggeration i didn't expect to be so slight.
Never been this early also can u do some Scottish history like the history of whisky or william Wallace or Scottish inventions I would love to see that (ps great series)
Could you maybe make a Video about the Peloponnesian War?
6:05 the freezing process is how you make eisbock, not doppelbock.
Ah, hence the "eis," i.e. ice. Makes sense.
"doppelbock" "eisbock" german is not a real language this is too funny LMAO
Yeah, you might want to go and listen to that again before making a correction.
He doesn't say that doppelbocks were made in this manner, only omitting the style name of the resultant beer.
*"One type, doppelbock, was even left out to freeze in winter, and the ice discarded in order to concentrate it."*
Fun fact
Arthur Guinness was Anglo Irish and apart of the Protestant Ascendancy and he hated Irish Catholics.
He had no issues selling Guinness to the Irish but looked down on them.
Guinness themselves did their best to avoid hiring Catholics right up until the 1960s and if an employee wanted to marry a catholic they had to resign.
Guinness is something we have claimed and it is delicious, I enjoy it knowing Arthur is turning in his grave that his company and brand is now associated with being Irish
