    If you think this is long, just imagine the 8+ hours of filming it took to get all of it out! Definitely don't envy whoever had to go through and edit it all together. It was an absolute blast to shoot though, and I have to say, after talking about beer for that long without getting to enjoy one, that first post-shoot beer was mighty tasty!

    Just saw this gem in my feed. And I'm really pleasantly surprised by your great way of describing Kölsch as more than a drink.
    The thing you mentiont with how easy it is to drink is so true. Normaly when I'm out with my friends we have a couple of cold ones, play a little Schoken and be out to 3 or 4 in the moring without even realising it. And Kölsch is a part of it.
    Since Kölsch is also the name of our lokal dialect, we like to say "Kölsch is the only language you can drink". So Kölsch for us is s feeling, a way of live, a language, a beer, a part of our culture.
    And yes. If you ever get the chance to come to Cologne try to seek out a Brauhaus, but also at least one of the many many many Kneipen. Smaler Pup style locations where you can meet locals and find friend for the evening.

    Just a note: The second word in "Pilsner Urquell" isn't pronounced in a French way (like "urkell"), but more like "Oor-kwell". "Quell", or "Quelle" (with an additional e - pronounced like the one before - at the end) is a German word for source/spring/well. "Urquell" means something like "ancient source."

    I think he didn’t mention the Reinheitsgebot (literally "purity order") which is a law limiting the ingredients in beer in Germany. The best known version of the law was adopted in Bavaria in 1516. The basic law now declares that only malted grains, hops, water and yeast are permitted in beer brewing. No extras like fruits etc are allowed.

    Scottish professional brewer here - the difference between Light, Heavy, and Export are huge. Colour, flavour, hop additions. A Light or 60 Bob tends to be relatively pale, it could be compared to an English Mild and just like its English counterpart can be relatively more highly hopped than the name suggests. Heavy, 80 Bob, will be more malty, ruby or dark brown in colour, gently hopped compared to a Light. Export is an amped up Heavy more hops and stronger to survive export.

    Altbier is not only found in Düsseldorf, but in the whole Lower Rhineland and Westphalia. Although Düsseldorf has a large amount of high quality Alt breweries, you should not exclusively look there for a good Alt.
    Especially the cities of Krefeld, Mönchengladbach and Münster have great Alts.
    The best Alt (Bolten Ur-Alt) is brewed in a small village named Korschenbroich, which also prooves that an Alt doesn't need to be hoppy when you have softer water available.

    This video is Amazing, here in Tijuana I get to go to a lot of tap rooms and everytime has some new beer style, I've tasted so many that I couldn't even tell what was the special thing with each one, thank you for this!

    Tried to count how many of these styles I actually tasted, but gave up 1/3 into the video :D
    The video reminded me of my last pre-lockdown trip to Germany, where I tried both Alt and Koelsch, and I agree - the approach to serving them as a never-ending stream of small glasses is quite dangerous haha

    I like to think I'm a beer nerd, then I run into guys like this and realize I still have quite a ways to go. Cheers!
