At a glance this is mad funny. 10 poured beers all at once yet only one man, alone, seemingly talking to the wall with enthusiasm. Love it ! 🤣👍
I think he would be a great character in Gavin & Stacey. He knows what he is talking about...
@@chrisb6296 Car Karaoki 🤣
This is why I love this blooming channel!
No filter, no scripts, just farts, burps, and beers.
Class Simon!
he's one of the best, most natural presenters on YT isn't he - there's no one else I'd watch reviewing microwave burgers, they disgust me, but he's so watchable
@@frankcarter6427 couldn't agree more, and thanks to Simon, in now a steinhauser convert.
But he just a genuine guy that you could have great laugh with downing a few beers.
And I dare say most of his subs are the same.
Love this channel.
Cheers 🍻
Great comment, he`s a beer superstar, farter, and burper.... honest as you like beer reviewer.
Simon is just a natural beer drinker, a great presenter, I would love to go to Barry and have a beer with him@@1100CAR
Maybe worth knowing, Tsingtao, was originally brewed in China by Germans when it was part of the Imperial German Empire and the brewery was owned by the Anglo-German Brewery Co, pre WW1.
Lovely beer. Drank it all the time when I worked in China
A personal favourite since I came across it in a small off licence about 30 years ago!
You would think china's water would be tasting rank compared to others because of their pollution and overpopulation etc?
Warsteiner - known to me and countless other British Army veterans simply as 'Wobbly'. Drank gallons of the stuff in my years in Germany.
The moment these foreign lagers switch production to the UK (inevitably to be watered down & pumped full of wretched glucose syrup) is the moment I stop drinking them 🤦🏾♀️
Shouldn't be allowed under the trade descriptions act if you ask me -it's a bloody swiz!
Yet he highly rates at least one glucose ghastly
I've not seen such a joyous video in ages! :)
Budvar for me though, every day of the week and twice on Sundays!
Thank you for being real..... You didn't do any silly fancy editing, you were not trying to act like some professional know it all, you just opened, drank..... Got progressively more slightly tanked with each sip that was funny in the right way, and gave your opinion on some decent drinks.
Really enjoyed it.
Off his rocker this guy 😆. Great video to watch on a Friday night... While having a beer
Singha is not the beer that it was when originally imported from Thailand and it's also down in strength from the original 6%ABV. The Shephed Neame version isn't bad, but it's not a patch on the original.
Tsingtao is still the great beer it always was.
I originally came across Tsingtao in Hong Kong in 1993 and couldn't understand why all the expats never drank it, but preferred Carlsberg and Heineken, which to me were awful. When I discovered that the port of Tsingtao (Qingdao) was built up by the Germans back in colonial days and that after building their trading facilities, the first thing they did was build a brewery, it became obvious why the beer was so good. It's brewed under the same beer purity standards that the Germans brought with them. It's great that it's easily available in the UK and every time I drink it, I pray that they don't ever allow it to be brewed under licence in the UK. It's only £5.50p for three large bottles in Tesco and although I'm a draught beer drinker in the pub, I always have some Tsingtao in the fridge..
I first went out to Hong Kong in 1980 and drank Tsingtao at seafood restaurants in Lamma and Po Toi (my Dad, an expat, was preparing me for a long life of beer drinking). I worked in Hong Kong from 1994 to 2014 and at some point Tsingtao became an inferior drink as they added rice to the mix whereas previously they had followed strict German purity laws. I had many trips to Thailand and Singha went down hill in 2005 when they reduced the alcohol content from 6% down to 5%. Most expats preferred to drink Philippines-brewed San Miguel rather than the Hong Kong-brewed San Miguel, imported Carlsberg and Heineken.
Agree.....Thailand brewed Singha was my go to lager, alas it's UK version isn't.
It's not 6% in Thailand anymore either.
If you have ever watched Serpentza channel and his travels around China, you will seen him buy the draught version, in a plastic bag, from the brewery. And yes it was his beer of choice in China.
Totally agree with everything said 👍 import only beer unless its from q proper British brewery. Thats been my rule of thumb for 30 years.
NOt touched British breewed larger for years, its shit
Any Italian beer brewed in the UK is a no from me. The best beer there for me is the Budvar🍺
Krombacher is the beer of choice where we live in Germany. You can get a crate of 24x .33l bottles (we buy by the crate of course) on a special offer in the local supermarket for €11. Lovely.
I just discovered Krombacher Dark and my life is complete!
Before I started watching I had my own top three worked out: 1: Krombacher, 2: Budweiser Budvar, 3: Staropramen. Good to see that we agree about the nr 1. I don't like my beers brewed with glucose or fructose syrup like Singha and I prefer the Czech aroma hops to the ones used in Tsingtao.
You've pointed out exactly what's wrong with this tasting, you knew before he tried which would win. So did I. So what was the point? His Saturday night go to beer was always going to win.
I don't agree with you. This is a fun video, and there are 10 beers, so there are 9 places before 1 place! And anyways, he gives 10 out of 10 for several of the beers. I think you should make your own video before complaining about this one. 😊👍
It's beer o'clock in Russia: thanks Simon for brilliant performance and entertainment! You're simply the best of all those beer channels. STONE THE CROWS. Paul / St. Petersburg
I had some great beer in St Petersburg in Tinkoff and Metropole. That was a while ago, don't know if they're still going but great places for a beer when I was there.
Honestly benn waiting for you to review this. Tsingtao is my go to if I'm treating myself, crisp, clean beautiful lager. Would of been happy if it made the top 5😂
Krombacher is just lovely, 4 cans is €9 but well worth it 🍻 great vid again Simon 👏
I remember when I first drank Krombacher, which was in a German themed bar, poured from draught and straight away I thought, WOW, that is one amazing pilsner. I still haven't found a regularly available pils that beats it.
Great video. Surprised you got to the end without wetting yourself 😂
One of your very best videos!
Being a loyal follower, I've just started watching this - 47 minutes! Simon might be pissed by the end...
Love my Warsteiner. used to get a great deal from asda but currently out of stock .Tsingtao is great too. Had that all the time when I worked in China.
I fucking love this channel Sir
Edit: I feel a live stream Drink along would be a fantastic thing for this channel.
You tell us the beers to buy a week in advance and Friday evening do a lovely live streamed tasting
This is without doubt my new favourite channel! ...
All this uk brewed beer tastes like it's been filtered through someone's kidneys, these brewing companies must think us brits drink anything, they are probably right 😆
If you're interested in getting 4 or 5 of the same type of glass (since you always bring it up with these beer tests), you could head up to Wilko's. They sell pilsner and ale pint glasses forunder £2 a piece. I like to have the same type of glassware so it all looks consistent and I don't personally like logos on my glasses.
You've got some great glassware though, I don't think having different glasses influences perception of the beer *that* much...
Had a Tsingtao last night… Lovely lager after a week at work🍺
That was a great video well done, some of my absolute favourites in there and my 2 favourite beers came 1st and 3rd. The only one I haven't tried is Menabrea but I have a bottle in my fridge so can't wait to try it.
You could do like a beer World Cup over a few videos, rate them against each other in groups and have a knockout until you get the winner 😊
Cheers from Brazil !! Excelent vídeo!! Congrats!!
Got the real great taste of East German bear in the early 90s while working there then fell in love with German & Belgium beer the best in the world
I'm surprised that TsingTao made it this so far. I was thinking at the beginning "oh I personally like that beer very much, but he might put it off the shelf soon"... Guess not 😄
A local chinese restaurant with a very good reputation and high quality standards "De Nieuwe Chinese Muur" near my place at the Bergse Dorpsstraat sells the TsingTao (bottled).
I was a bit sceptical the last time I was there ordering it and saw the "green" bottle and thought "it might get skunked" but It didn't and after that I ordered 4 more and none of 'm skunked.
I knew from my father that the restaurant owner (James Wang) always wanted high quality standards for their fresh food, food for delivery and also these green bottled beers I guess.
Couple of surprises there with beers I've never considered buying before. Next time I'm doing a threefer I might give the Asian ones a chance..
If anyone’s interested, Tsingtao is actually pronounced “ching-daow” in mandarin.
He’s cracking me up with “Ching-chow. “ 😂
@@nathanrodriguez780 haha literally, at least he got the ‘ching’ right 😂😂. I simply had to post this when I heard him pronounce it. I ordered it in Wetherspoons once and I remember the bartender just looked at me and said “oh, you mean ‘Ting-taow’” 💀.
I now live in Thailand, of Anglo Saxon origin...Singha is a very good locally brewed Beer, the best in South East Asia in my opinion....Paulaner and Krombacher are both superb lager/beers....anyway love your videos, after yankee bollocks English corporate beers are the worst in the World.....PIsswater.
Lager brewed for the UK and USA markets tend not to taste as good as mainland continental European lager!
The UK brewed stuff is shite, I can't believe it stayed in for as long as it did!
23:00 Classic!!
It's a hard job but someone has to do it - I enjoyed this !!
I like how slowly more and more inebriated you got throughout this video. Amazing. Think the Tsingtao only got so far because it was in your Welsh dragon glass!
Gonna have to pick up some Tsingtao now. Got my Budvar glass yesterday.
Hi Simon, great video as usual. Have you tried Bitburger Pils? It's an awesome beer 🍺
Agree with you on both the 600ml "Tsingtao $4.20NZ" and "Krombacher $4.90NZ". Quality import beers & great value which are routinely $2NZ cheeper than my local Kiwi/Aus 660mls beers.
Thanks Simon for this Top 10 Supermarket Bottled Lager review. I think it was a very good comparison for the majority who might be going to pick up their usual and either can't find it or want to try something better. From experience whilst I was simply someone who enjoyed a lager but wanted something new it's not really any different these days than back in the 80s /90s (?) when a number of US and Canadian brands were introduced. By and large I loved most more than Carling and Tennents that were typical of the day. All went to pot once they were brewed here 🙁. Good to see you gave Tsingtao a fair crack as it's one great beer that no matter where you are, it is always the same. 🍻
More tea vicar? Great video! Tonight I did my own tasting with fewer beers than you tho. I had Paulaner Munchen Hell, Hofbrau, Orgininal, Bitburg and my wife got me a couple of bottles of Ikea Dark Lager which was quite good really. I wasn't able to pick a winner but at least with much less burping and farting 🙄
I have not seen your results yet Simon....but mine would be 1st krombacher,budweiser budvar, Stella unfiltered
I appreciate how the pronunciation of Tsingtao becomes more difficult over time. 😆 Although it's spelt Tsingtao on the bottle it sounds more like Ching-dao (青島). It's the name of a port city in the north that was occupied by the Germans who of course commenced brewing beer in their newly acquired territory.
I wont lie, at 46:18 I lost it and laughed so hard. Completely unintentional but funny none the less.
Slightly creamier mouth feel LMAO
46:20 you sure it was glasses next to your face Simon? 🤣
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Menabrea for me❤.
Loved the little fart to clear the palate 😂
It's funny, cos I started watching these, hoping you would do a review on Tsingtao, later I realised you did a review on it like 10 years ago and you didn't like it. But that's my go to beer, if someone asked me what does beer taste like or smell like. I'd give them a Tsingtao! Singha is another beer which I find pretty damn tasty, especially when you visit Thailand. Can never seem to find Chang in a shop in England, which is the other big beer they have over there.
Have been looking forward to you doing a review like this and getting a little tipsy trying to keep up with all the drinks.
Side note, perhaps the drinks taste slightly different, because you are drinking them 1 after the other, as opposed having a sip of water, or as the wine tasters would have, a spit bucket! haha
Warsteiner first was brewed during WW2 by Feldwebel Steiner (the one with the Iron Cross)....😂😂😂 It first was called Steiner's war Beer...
Foreign beers brewed in the UK - so different hops , malt and water ,prob a different recipe but a similar label - excellent video
Estrella Damm is my favourite. I had it in Madrid with Paella.
Simon , i totally love this review , I like the way you just said I've picked 10 beers , different glasses , a bit hectic but spot on mate
Great video Simon, surprised Paulaner was ousted so early, but yeah Krombacher is always very reliable. Think I may need to revisit Tsingtao though, had a few dodgy ones in the past and never tried it again. Cheers 🍻
Simon did you try Pepsi recently ? I know its not beer but the buggers have changed the recipe thats over 120 years old I was fuming as what they did was replace the sugar with a carcinogenic sweetener called Sucralose , It tastes bloody terrible mate , Im only drinking Coke now if i do drink a soft drink , anyway just thought id let you know sadly its not just British Beer companies messing with the ingredients , Britvic Drinks who are in charge of Pepsi UK destroyed the recipe.
Pepsi use flavourings from a company called senomyx, who use aborted fetal cells
Pepsi didn’t changed the recipe is just the same taste
@@louisbeerreviews8964 Nah it's not the same , they put Acesulfame K and Sucralose in it , cancer causing chemicals
@@louisbeerreviews8964 I mean it's well documented in the media that Pepsi changed it's recipe earlier this year.The only mistake the OP has made in her comment is the assumption that it's the first time the recipe has been changed in 120 years.
Pepsi have chanded their Cola recipe several times in the paste. It's not a 120 year old untouched recipe at all.
simon absolute legend my beer consumption has gone up ten fold since watching this channel 😁
Singha is actually pronounced 'Sing' ... hello from Thailand 🙏
Fantastic vid... but we are having a falling out over the early elimination of Pauliner 😂
A top 10 video is your personal top 10 favourites in a category not grab 10 of any old beers off the shelf and pit them against each other like you said 😂
Brilliant, and it’s only10am
ONLY because of you doing this; I went to Tesco today and I bought a Tsingtao Lager together with a Singha and I also bought a Tyskie to find out why so many Polish anglers leave their bottles at our fisheries. (BAH!) So tonight I opened the Tsingtao and . . . it certainly is a beautiful lager. Love it! And that despite I don't like buying stuff from China, but I promise, this is an exceptional lager. Well worth the money and I got the 3 bottles for £5.50. I will drink the Singha and Tyskie on other nights (because I'm diabetic and have to limit my intake), but I do love this Tsingtao. SURPRISED! 😲
getting more and more pissed as the video goes on
Great job. I miss bitburger being in Tesco
Top video. Have you thought of doing a brewed for supermarket knock out. I am sure many years ago there used to be a tesco value lager.
Hes done it
There`s something very special about Krombacher, it shades all-comers for me......great top ten Simon. Cheers!
The fly at: 21.35 seems to like the Stella Unfiltered. What do they know? Bar flies not included!
I've just watched your other video on uk worst larger, carlsberg brewery in Northampton is situated on the river nene on the site what was the old brewery watney man and I would think when they first started their 50 years ago, they only brewed their own lager there, and have since expanded massively and have brought many companies such as marstons, I don't know for sure but they probably really brew fosters there too, I say probably do you like that 😅
I wrote on your other video and will write here. What I am about to tell you will blow your mind…. Krombacher isn’t im even the best brewery in Siegen! It’s probably a town the size of Maidstone and is located near Cologne, if you want the best pilsner in Siegen You need to visit Erzquell brewery in Mudersbach, Hachenburger brewery in Hachenburg, Bosch brewery and more recently a new brewery Siegerländer Bierhaus. Shit, do Irle Brauerei for shits and giggles.
As a Brit living in Siegen for 10 years and visiting for 17, the Krombacher recipe has definitely changed for the worst. It used to be probably the most crisp pilsner I’ve ever drunk in my life, but I don’t even buy it when it’s on offer at 12€ a crate anymore. I’m afraid to say it’s gone downhill. Even the now defunct eichener Brauerei was a better pilsner, it had a lovely slightly dry crispness with a slightly Kölsch directed sweetness to it. Eichener was just down the road from Krombacher and is now unfortunately defunct since 2014/2015 (and was for a while brewed at the Krombacher factory) it was known as an Opa Bier (grandad beer).
If you want generally good beers, check out Faust brewery in Miltenberg, or Reissdorf in Köln which I consider a better aftertaste than Gaffel Kolsch.
One thing I would leave you with. Don’t knock British beers. Although you are reviewing British licensed beers, that hopback glass you have for instance is an example of the fantastic range Britain has to offer. Germany is a very insular country in terms of trying beer and in my opinion Germans are on the whole depressingly extremely uneducated when it comes to what is brilliant and on offer internationally. It is of course the biggest brewing country in the world, but believe it or not, they produce a lot of crap beers, like anywhere!
Nodda! And hope you get a chance to visit Germany to do a brewery tour!
If stuck on a desert island WITH a fridge and endless supply only one beer / lager.. what would it be folks ?
Mine Stella unfiltered or Heineken. Both are clean and next to know hangover for me 😊
Dorada especial, which also would mean I must be stuck on lanzarote which wouldn’t be too bad at all since that’s the only place I can get the stuff 😂 5.7abv
It is Powlarner.
Some great beers there Simon i bet you slept all afternoon and night 😂 lol the uk beer has gone down the drain definitely watered down,German beer and Czech all the way.
Mass produced UK brewed Lager is garbage and always has been, it's the reason I avoided it for years. It was only after visiting Munich and trying Hofbrau, Lowenbrau and Augustiner that i realised what real Lager tastes like!
The Tsintao brewery was established by Germans in the 19th century when a colony. The brewery building looks old German too.
Great vid, I found the Rheinbacher a few years ago by accident and keep going back to it, a very good drink. Plus the bonus of an inflation beating price in Aldi 😎👍
That was all over the place Simon, had to watch it over 6 sessions, even The Ice Cream Van was hinting you missed the Ice Cream Concentrate.
I guessed wrong on the outcome when I seen the Thumbnail.
Have tried them all.
Here's an idea, you could do a sequel, there's easy another 10 you didn't include you could do the same again. Leave in the mispronunciation, farts, burps, wrong names the lot!
What's those folded up bits of branded cardboard on the bar?....let me think........Beer Mats, they're Beer Mats! (London Beer Festival) gaff😂
Cheers Simon. 💥
Good choice - Krombacher takes some beating. Probably my favourite - full of flavour but not too malty and not over strong. Lowenbrau is lovely but at 5.2% is bit too strong for any sort of session. Different type - but Whistable Bay pale ale is a current favourite and well with checking out.
Si did you drink all 10 of these after the video recording stopped? Would seem like a waste to pour any of them down the sink.
I drank Staropramen from a Bargain Booze until I found Warsteiner and Erdinger Weissbiers in a proper pub and had my mind blown
Simon takes ten for the team.
Shame Supermarkets do not sell local beers at these prices
You are living the dream!
Great comparo. I don’t know how you keep it going /it please keep it going!
Just from the thumbnail, Paulaner and Budvar for me
I do prefer the Paulaner Pils over the Helles. Over the Krombacher and Budvar as well.
Being a beer TH-camr is a pretty good excuse for getting bent out of shape at 10 in the morning.. love it.
Great video 👍 🍻🍻🍺🍻🍺
This has to be the best beer review Simon has ever done!
Budvar, Poretti, Paulaner are the top tier lagers for me there but interesting reviews
The paulaner hell isnt great. even the 55 cent Helles from Lidl is better.
Bayreuther is my go to Helles, its just a step above.
You eliminated Budvar for it’s sweetness, but that’s exactly what you get from budvar, a lovely honeyed sweetness. That’s what separates it most from Pilsner Urquell.
he's giving his opinion
@@frankcarter6427 true, my point still stands.
This beer tastes exactly how it should, let’s eliminate it
My fave lager. It's so light, lovely bubbles, melts beautifully in the mouth and leaves a slightly dry aftertaste. One of the few things me and my brother agree on@@andrewsteer8860
Never liked Urqell. Weak and bitter aftertaste
What a epic battle this was, I will definitely give the Chinese beer a try.
But just take the one with the edible twist cap with headache tablet incorporated....😁
I knew the Krombacher would win before this even began. Such a great beer. I wish it was more accessible in the U.S.. It's not in any of the major Supermarkets.
Not very cost effective to transport liquids across an ocean unfortunately
krombacher is no where near as good as erdinger or paulaner
@laoch5658 it's much better than those
Krombacher has shot up in price here in Scotland. Communist minimum pricing and tax.
You took one for the team there, Simon. Bloody great video! I’ve become a bit of a snob when it comes to larger and pretty much only drink German; totally agree that UK brewed is generally an embarrassment. As a result, the big surprise for me is the Chinese beer, so I’ll be checking that out. Keep on keeping on fella!👍
Funny enough I was at a house party over the weekend where they had Krombacher in the fridge - which was awesome. When it ran out - I had to resort to a Stella, which was undrinkable in comparison - had to pour it down the sink!
I remember you hyping up Staropramen in the past, what happened?? Probably my favourite lager, although Stella Unfiltered is right up there now. Budvar I'm yet to try as they don't sell it in my local Co-op or Tesco, I'll have to cop some online.
*EDIT* Just had a bottle of Staropramen for the first time in a few weeks and it was terrible! Very tinny like you said, wtf has happened??
That was the Czech brewed Staropramen not this English abomination.
The Czech Staropramen is the dogs bollards
Probably brewed in Newport now 😭
currently in bavaria near tegenseer germany enjoying a paulaner octoberfest beer
i respect you opion but no way staropramen should be last!! unless it was super skunked even the uk brewed one. I think its defiantly one of the best uk brewed lagers same for stella unfiltered. great vid did u manage to drink them all?
Tsingtao is a great beer, I drink it regularly. German quality combined with Asian ingredients - excellent. There's also something about the weight of a Tsingtao bottle in your hand, nothing to do with the beer itself.
This is a pretty good selection of lager!! These are still pretty good, the ones brewed by these companies seem to still taste good for the UK market (at the moment!) I see you've left out the ones that have been messed up eg Beck's!!
The lagers must go all warm when opened at the same time
Stella unfiltered is much closer to Belgian brewed Stella, I quite like it
Brilliant video. Hats off mate. Do 20 next time. Be good to see a bit of the old slurred speech😂😂. Paulaner 1st, warstiener 2nd, krombacher 3rd for me. Singha was even better when it was imported. Drank plenty of it in thailand when I've been there. Superb video review
You are a machine! A really useful one though😅 Thanks dude.
10 out of 10 for Singha😂 used to be a great beer before they totally changed the recipe and now added fructose syrup..no head or lacing, just utter crap
This taster marks beers down for even a slight bitterness; better off tasting and rating icecream
@zorbzod6475 a good beer is all about the ingredients, especially for lagers. Ever heard of German purity laws?....Thought not. Stick with your fosters and stay out of stuff you know nowt about!!
@@jcarr5690 You know nothing about purity laws if you imagine they allow fructose syrup!
Excellent video!
Please do Stella unfiltered, bottles vs cans. They seem different to me and I like the cans even more.
Stella Unfiltered is brewed in UK but something is wrong as its a decent drop. The Staropramen is just glucose syruppy headache material.
