These reasons that he will never leave Germany, actually make me want to go to Germany. What is your favourite thing about Germany? Subtitles are available in German (and English). They are just from Google translate so may not be the best but I thought they would be better than nothing.
As far as I know, he left Germany a couple of months ago. I guess it was due to racism and some other stuff. Even Hailey left Germany. It's not so pretty here if you are different.
Greetings from 🇩🇪 The best beer is always from the local brewery. There is no "best" beer. No matter where your trip takes you in Germany, just ask for the house beer / the local beer in the restaurant or bar. I personally really like Irish beer when I drink beer. Love your accent!🤘
@@whoismertsalih all beer in germany is brewed under the so called "reinheitsgebot". it translates roughly "purity commandmend". it allows only to take water, hops, malt and sometimes yeast for making beer. no additives allowed.
Exactly, there are over 5000 types of beer in Germany, so it would be pointless to look for the "best" beer. You generally won't go wrong with the local beer, and furthermore it's the best way to sample at least a small portion of the country's vast selection.
Im from upper Franconia. For me there is no better beer than Bavarian beer. I travel through whole Germany many times and drank a lot of local beer there. I just think in many other states is the helles beer not quite well known. But I love the diversity of the beer culture in our Country.
YES !!!!! I'm Swiss and I feel the exact same way about our bread. I used to travel a lot when I was younger, but I also liked to come back after maybe a month or so, and the first thing was always to get a Bratwurst and a piece of real bread. The other thing I appreciate greatly is the fact that we have potable water directly from the tab. In most other countries I went to (Brazil, Spain, France Turkey etc) people have to buy their water which isn't cheap in many cases. Gruss aus Zürich
Bro be honest. I'm a German, live 27 years over here (my hole life) and if you got in mind to live here or just for a visit, do it! You're so welcome and we would be happy if someone like you and you're family will join us. You need to work for it it's not easy over here, but if you do this for you're family don't hestitate to make a move over here. You won't regret it. I'm for sure. Greetings from the lovely Black Forest.
Schau dir paar Videos von heutigen Chicago,San Francisco.... Hawaii (von Regierung hat jeder 700 Dollar bekommen und das was😢) Und dann frag dich selbst ob du dort leben willst😊
bread!!!! and the bakeries - the single thing that every German will miss when being somewhere else 😄I also love the tolerance of people (living in Cologne) and the vicinity to other culture hubs in Europe (3-5hrs on the train will get you to Paris, Brussels, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, etcetcetc
Well my reason why I wouldn't want to leave Germany is simple. I love my country. This is my home. I grew up here, all my memories are connected to Germany. My family, my friends. I would love to visit other countries and I am sure they are great too but I would always come home in the end.
Free education is a really important issue for me as well, knowing my kids can get any education they want for free is reassuring. I do not understand why other countries do not value a well educated population enough to offer them free education as well. Another important aspect to live in Germany is the social security that was actually invented in Germany in 1871 by Otto von Bismarck who introduced health insurance as well as pensions. Health insurance was introduced in 1883 and old age insurance was introduced in 1889 by Otto von Bismarck, so both are long established and work well. Since you asked about it, I'll copy a comment I wrote on another video at the bottom of this. In my view, German beer is indeed superior to other beers, mostly because it is still brewed according to the German "Reinheitsgebot" of 1516 which states that you can only use water, hop and malt to brew beer and a real beer does not need any chemicals indeed. My favourite is Karlsberg Urpils, note that is Karlsberg with a K while Carlsberg with a C is more known worldwide since that Danish brewery had the older international rights of the name and therefore, Karlsberg is called Karlsbräu outside of Germany. Since you live in Asia, it might be easiest for you to get Tsingtao beer which is a brewery started by Germans when Germany still had a colony there (dark times) but as far as I know, they still brew according to the Reinheitsgebot. Other things I like about Germany are: - the diversity of people, different regions are also culturally very diverse and people interact differently depending on where you are. Some are more reluctant at first while others are more outgoing but in general, people are welcoming if you approch them nicely. - the variety of food offered at a very high standard, be it bread or "Brötchen" and a huge variety of salty or sweet pastries from actual bakeries instead of mass production. - the interaction between people from neighbouring countries, especially in the area where I live which is called "Saar-Lor-Lux" to reveal already in the name that it sees itself as an area of three countries - Saarland in Germany, Lothringen in France and Luxembourg where people live in one of the countries and may work in another one of them, go shopping or visiting or attending concerts, ... in another one of them, ... It creates a very open society where borders do not really matter any longer as it should be in my view. Here is the copied comment from another video: By law, your maximum work time per day is 8 hours which can be extended to 10 hours if your average working hours over 6 months still are 8 hours per day, so you work less than 8 hours on some days to then work up to 10 hours on other days. The maximum work time per week is 48 hours which can also be extended to 60 hours if your average over 4 months reamains 48 hours or less. By law, you get at least 20 days off per year even with those restrictions in place. Most companies offer much more, most people I know get around 30 days paid leave per year for vacations. In addition to those days, there are 10-14 national or regional holidays per year. On top of that, you can get up to 5 days per year or 10 days within any given 2 years to participate in a course that will enhance your skills in your job. You can also combine these days with your vacation so that you may take a course for 5 days abroad and then spend another 2 weeks (or more) there on vacation. By law, you can take up to 6 weeks of paid sick leave per year during which your employer pays 100% of your salary. After those 6 weeks, you get 70% of your gross salary but not more than 90% of your net salary by your mandatory health insurance for up to an additional 78 weeks. Most employers do not even require a doctor's notice if you only call in sick for one or even two days. It is actually considered polite towards your colleagues to do that since you won't infect them with your cold or whatever you may be suffering from. Your mandatory health insurance is roughly paid in half by yourself and in half by your employer but it does not depend on your employer or even on being employed. If you lose your job, the insurance is paid by the state and you keep all the benefits you had while you were employed - or you get them even if you were never employed. Your mandatory health insurance covers everything, you just need to pay a small part of the cost, e.g. 5 EUR for any medication even if it would cost thousands of EUR or 10 EUR per day you need to stay in a hospital no matter what is being done, all treatments are fully covered. For dental work you may have to pay a surcharge depending on the type of treatment but routine checkups and minor repairs are covered. All payments are further limited to 2% of your annual gross salary, so no matter which sickness you may have, you stop paying any surcharges once you reached that 2% threshold. Nobody in Germany is afraid of calling an ambulance since it is always free unless you called it as some kind of joke and no matter where you are in Germany, either an ambulance or a helicopter will get to you within 8 to 15 minutes and either treat you where you are or if necessary take you to the nearest hospital that can deal with your injury or sickness. By law, any employee is also covered by old age insurance so that you get a certain percentage of your income once you retire. This percentage depends on the number of years you were employed, your income and some other factors, e.g. if you took parental leave, that time will be included in your benefits. This is also paid in half by the employer and the employee and changing your job to another company does not affect it at all, you don't lose your earned benefits ever. By law, parental leave is 36 months which can be split between both parents and it can also be interrupted, e.g. 12 months after birth, then 6 months when the child turns 3 and the remaining 18 months when the child gets to school. During parental leave, the state pays between 65% (if you earn much) up to 100% if you earn 1800 EUR per month or less. After your parental leave, your employer is legally obliged to keep employing you.
When I see videos or reactions like this from the US it's always mind-blowing for me, that safety is such a huge point. I saw a Video where a girl told about an incident at a street café when some "cool kids" decided to throw firecrackers and she immediately dived down under the table, expecting a shooting. We don't really appreciate how lucky we are being German by chance as it was not our decision to be born here.
Hey there Mert! New subscriber here from Northern-Germany... I love your style.. and , of course, especially your scottish accent.. ;) I am a half brit (My Dad from Newcastle, which is very "near" to your *homeland* ) and my Mom from Germany.. I was born here on a "American Base-Passport".. I love your respectful reactions. Makes sense, that you are respectful to other cultures, since you seem to be married to a "foreign" person, and you are still alive! ;) "Soldier for Life" is actually a very good and respected youtuber when it gets to the "american reacts to germany" thing... he is honest and he lives the life in germany... even though it is not "germany", but bavaria... which is NOT Germany... just like scotland is not England.. ;) Love your stuff. Thank you!
The standard anual leave in Germany is 30 days, i'd say. There are some companies that grant less, but by law, 20 days anual leave is the minimum (if you work 5 days of the week).
As a German, I would never leave my home country! I love this country - for its rich history, the beautiful different landscapes, the culture, the diversity, the security in all areas of life, the friendliness of the people, the helpfulness with each other, the incredibly social interaction, the willingness and interest in new things to learn, ... Of course I love traveling around the world and exploring other countries/cultures and getting to know the country and its people (through various trips I have made many friends in Croatia, for example, this wonderful country has become a kind of second home for me ^ ^) - but despite all the beauty of other countries, Germany is and remains the country where my heart lies... 0:010:010:01
I'm from Germany, but have lived and worked in Scotland, France (where I also studied), Malaysia (as an expat), plus some other countries throughout the world for shorter assignments. While I loved being in those countries and learning about their culture and getting to know country and people, I fully appreciate, what Germany offers in terms of work contractual minimum regulations, healthcare, education, security, etc. Actually, after having had a British work contract (e.g. limited sick days?? WTH??), I always worked on getting back to having a German contract, but being sent abroad, which has worked out fine for me. 😊
As a German, I will of course say that our beer is special and, above all, varied. Incidentally, this applies to many things such as bread or sausage products, etc. Why is that? Well, Germany has actually only existed as a nation since 1871. Before that there were many different kingdoms, duchies, counties, free imperial cities, etc. These were very self-sufficient, had different laws, their own regional cultures and therefore also quite different cuisines. Even within cities, for example, several smaller breweries have developed and even if many have merged in the course of modern times, the traditions of smaller breweries have been kept and new ones have been founded again. So there are still many hundreds of regional beers, urban beers but also country beers, with very different flavors. That's why we in Germany can definitely say that we have damn good beers. However, since we are already used to enjoying many varieties at home, we also do this outside of our country. We find good beers wherever there are good, long-established brewing traditions, e.g. in Austria, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland... the latter also brought about the distillation of fine beer. 😉
The reason why i can not leave my country as a germa is that i can stay in the middle of a marketplace ora supermarket or in front of a policestation and can scream that i cannot like our parlament, i have the freedom to say what i think. It is from Hoffmann von Fallersleben the thoughts are free, you are free and that is for me the most important reason never to leave germany I am free, free to learn and become what I want and go to where I like to go, say what I have to say. Not everything is good, but there is allways a solution you can find also when you need help. Germans do not recognize often in which social country we live!
theres a bunch more serious reasons as to why i would never want to permanently leave germany (family ties, healthcare stuff, etc etc etc) but honestly speaking one reason would be the bread. i once spent 10 days in rome, and i loved it! i study latin, it was a super awesome trip, i would love to go again!!! but dear g-d. by the end of the trip i was pretty much going thru bread withdrawal bc i couldnt stand the italian bread anymore
Free education: You will pay a couple hundred Euros for bureaucracy fees and the student public transport ticket, but basically, it's free, yes. And that is one of the reasons I wouldn't leave Germany. Beer: There are about 5k+ brands of beer. I'm pretty sure it's a good way to start a civil war to ask for the best one :D Safety: That's one of the biggest reasons I would never leave my home country. I want to be sure that my kid will come home safely from school, without being shot, stabbed, abducted, harassed or what. And I want to know that people care (grannies hanging out in their windows watching the school kids go by, knowing every single one WILL call the police if they see something strange). Other reasons for me: Healthcare: There may be better ones out there, but for me, it's enough. Job safety: Nope, you won't fire me with a 2 days notice, ever. Work-life-balance: Germans are inherently lazy and will work hard to have enough leisure time. Yes, we are weird. Family care: Kindergeld (literally money the state gives you for having kids), Elternzeit and Elterngeld (unpaid time off with work protection, combined with money to help you over that time), and many, many benefits for families and kids. If you have family and want to move, Germany should be upper top 5.
Everything you mentioned actually only makes me want to live and work in Germany even more. It all sounds great and really made to make peoples like very comfortable. The opposite is the same here in Malaysia unfortunately. Germany sounds like a perfect place for families
@@whoismertsalih It is not perfect for everybody, but at least for me and my family (I have 3 young kids), it is. And German is not that hard to learn once you conquer grammatical gender. English and German are related, after all.
Yeah as a german who already taught german to foreign students i can validate that. If you feel comfortable speaking english don't fear to learn german. The 2 languages have way more in common than you might think. Not only much of the vocabulary is related, also the grammar is kind of similar (for examples we use the exact same forms of grammatical times for verbs).
Der Staat erwirtschaftet NICHTS.Also ist das Geld nicht vom Staat sondern es sind Steuergelder der arbeitenden Menschen. Ich kann Deutschland nicht empfehlen.Hier geht alles den Bach runter. Davon ab: Deutschland ist sicher?😂Schon lange nicht mehr, zumindest nicht in den Städten.
Best Beer depends on the occasion. Heads up I'm Belgian 😂, but i've studied, lived and worked in Germany. If you want to go drink loads, like on a night out, i would advise some german or Czech beer, it tastes good, it is pure ( reinheitsgebot -> only water, barley, hops and sometimes yeast are allowed) , and the chance of a massive hangover is less. There are thousands of breweries, BUT there really are only about 4 kinds of beer made with a local touch in each area. BUT if you just want to chill, have a beer or 2 to take the edge of or cook with beer or pair your drinks with food , Belgian beer is the way to go. We treat it more like wine. In Belgium, beer is not restricted by the Reinheitsgebot , and is the only place in the world where all 3 ( or 4) brewing methods ( look it up, too long to explain 😉) are used and combined. This leads to several dozens of kinds, with hundreds of breweries making over a thousand different beers. So anyone will find a beer to suit their flavour pallet, even non beer drinkers. There are a lot more distinct varieties from peach or cherry beer to Trappist ales. Be carefull tho, if you drink these at a rate you'd consume the Stella Artois we export ( NOT the most popular pilsner here btw) you'll have a very short night and a very bad morning 😂. So We keep the really good stuff to ourselves , a way to keep the tourists coming i guess , if you want it, you gotta make an effort to visit. . 😂✌️❤️ Ps: when i lived in the US i had the local beermarket/liquor store importing a tonne of German beer for me every month. Not just for me, but mainly for the americans friends that i converted to drinking "real" beer, they continued doing this after i left. There is really no way back to american pisswater once you've tasted european beers. 😂
if you want to live in germany you need a lot of money or you end up homeless on the street 441,000 refugees who dreamed of great happiness in germany are homeless and live under bridges these things are never broadcast on tv
My personal top tier beer countries are Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany. In no particular order. Very good beers can be found in Poland as well. I've also tasted good Italian beer though I'm more into wine when travelling there or going dining Italian.
Yeah you are so correct about Belgium, Czech Republic and Germany. They all have great beers. I don't think I have ever tried Polish beer though so I will need to give it a try. Yeah when it comes to Italian beer I do like a Peroni or Moretti.
I'm no beer drinker, but my dad once got some Polish beer from a client and he was _so_ into it, so I agree, looks like there's some pretty good beer in Poland!
You asked for a reason why I would never leave Germany. That's simple: Health insurance and security feeling in general. I love jumping around the world but nowhere is this feeling of "when shit hits the fan, we're gonna help ya". Ofc there are problems like everywhere but nowhere on earth I get this strong feeling of do whatever you want to do - we got your back.
The Club you are talking about sounds like the Berghain. And there is no masterplan to get in, espacially when the bouncer Sven Marquardt is on duty. A good advice is not to wear bright colours, never appear in groups, and always look a bit kinda sad. But when you get in you'll find a very unique location. You should be into Techno, but on the top floor is the 'Panaromabar' where the music is a bit smoother. To see a sunrise from that point is just a wonderful thing. Greetings from Berlin.
I've spent my mid twenties in Ireland. Although I loved my time there, I really missed the taste of our tap water. The tap water in Ireland always made me homesick 😂 Apart from German beer, I really like Czech beer. It's different but delicious!
There are hundreds of (regional) beer brands in Germany, but Jever Pils and Bitburger Pils are quite good. Czech Republic (from Prague and Pilsen) have good beer as well: Pilsener Urquell = Pilsenski Pradsdroij or Staropramen; Go to a local beverage store in Germany and try every week another 6-pack and stay at that brand you like most.
My personal most favourite beer brand is 'Mönchshof'. To be fair the restrictions on dogfood here in germany are even higher then the restriction on normal food and therefor also higher Quality.
Asking for the best German beer is like asking for the best Scottish whiskey. I once heard a Scot say: Do I know which people I'm meeting tonight? What do i have for breakfast? Which weather we have tomorrow?
Ouch serious bad foul from you... You've really switched from "quality bread" to "We know Germany has got sausages"! If Germany has anything outstanding to offer in food that is without any doubt our bread. Nothing to say against the sausages - but the one thing every German is missing on any holyday is bread.
I will need to try some more German bread. Actually there is a good German cafe here in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe I will make a video there and get some of their bread
The best beer? Difficult. Maybe you like Paulaner or Erdinger Weißbier. I love those. Or as my neighbor loves Fürstenberg Pils and Rothaus. But i have to say the beer from the czech republic is as good. They love beer as well 😉😚
British beer isn't bad either, but you drink it warm and without carbon. Kilkenny and Harp is also very good but I think that's Irish. Best German beer is difficult to say. We have standard beers like Bitburger or Krombacher, not bad but nothing special either, but the good ones are the regional beers like Bayreuther Aktien, Chiemseer Hell, Köstritzer Dunkel or Einbecker Premium
There is no single best beer. Everyone has different preferences. In Germany there is wheat beer, Altbier, Kölsch, Pilsener, Starkbier, Schwarzbier, Export/Pilsener, etc. It also depends on the situation. If I drink to refresh myself in the summer, if I drink in the disco or at a privat party, then I like Kölsch (I live in North Rhine-Westphalia, but in a region where Altbier is drunk). Or do I drink beer with a meal and then what do I eat? On vacation I also like to drink the local beer brands. The Czechs drink the most beer per capita, and not only Germany has a strong beer culture. Yes, the Berghain is worthwhile when you are in Berlin. But there are a lot of good clubs. There is something for every musical taste. But throughout Germany there are many good options for nightlife. But it wasn't always as relaxed as he says. I've also seen fights. But the security service or the police always sorted everything out quickly. I have never experienced gun violence. Yes, there is crime in Germany too - including violent crime. But in general Germany is safe and you don't need to be afraid. In big cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt etc. there are actually places that are unsafe, especially for women. Germany is about the same as all of Europe. Yes, the German government basically takes care of socially disadvantaged people. In Germany you can argue forever about which areas are doing well and which areas are doing poorly - including which areas the state is doing too much. Most of the taxes that the state receives are spent on the social system. It prevents poverty and the social problems that arise from poverty. It prevents you from losing outright just because you're born into a lower-class family.
They are definitely the go to channel. They look at every aspect of life in Germany, particularly for children. Their videos are full of well researched information and tips but at the same time entertaining. There is a lot of information about different kinds of ‘benefits’ in the videos also. I’m sure you could reach out to them. They are so lovely. I am German but have been living in the UK for the last 30 odd years. All I know is that the number of holidays is a lot higher that in England. Also the work life balance is a lot better in Germany than here. You can stay at home for a year after the birth of a child and this time can be split between the parents.
Never had a problem to get into a club in Berlin, just that one time after we had a christmas-party and I was cross-eyed already they did'nt let me in... however, when you come with a larger group of guys seemingly originating from the beautiful south, the bouncers might be sceptical due to practical experience.
The schoolbooks you get from the school for lend in the next year the next pupils get the book and you get new ones for the next grade. In one year I got a book which I could ceep at the end of the year, because they changed the books the next year.
The best beer depends on your taste. For me, the best beer comes out of Bavaria. To the working benefits: I work for Bosch, so im in a Rahmentarifvertrag metal (kind of a framework for sallery and benefits) the company is bound to. From this I just got 1,5k € to compensate a little of the high inflation and as parent I can have 8 additional days of payed leave (additional to the 30 I already got) and this are just examples. This isn't provided by the government, but the legislative framework for this is provided. About the school: original I finished the lowest German school but I got up to A level and a university degree after I worked for around 6 years. I even got money from the state. It must be repayed to a certain degree (around 25% in my case) but that's OK. Schools and university were for free.
For „everyday“ use i prefer northern beers, Like Becks or Flensburger, but for Special issues i love Hacker-Pschorr Märzen…it‘s a Festtagsbier from Oktoberfest with 5,8% vol. so definitly no „piss water“ 😂
Try these: Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu Spezial, Schönbuch Braumanufaktur Jäger Spezial, Farny Weissbier, Sternla Helles, Tegernseer Hell, Jever Pils, Kölsch, Altbier, Radeberger Pils, Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel (take care, this one is very strong and will f u up in a way you never experienced before!!!) These are just a few from different regions. Southern beer is more a Lager, northern it's becoming more a Pils...generally spoken. I highly doubt you can get them in the UK...perhaps someone can send them to you or you can order them online?
Here is a little input about the social care system in Germany. I think that could be interesting for u. The social caresystem in germany is founded on 5 pillars around the year 1900 from Otto von Bismarch (you heard from this guy). And every person in Germany, especialy when u are unemployed, have to pay for this social system. (For unemployed people the government takes the part as long they are unemployed) So our 5 pillars are: Health insurance (paid 50/50 by employer and and the worker) Care insurance (for people living in retirement homes or needs help in allday business) Retirement insurance (paid 50/50 as well) Accident insurance (pays in case of a hard accident at work and helps peoples to find a way back to primary work) Unemployment insurance ((paid 50/50)pays you around 70 % of your last selery for 12 month. After that you get the minimum social care. After that we have generell taxes on every selery, wich depends on how much you earn. So, if u earn in Germany around 4000 Euro in gross. there will stay around 2700 - 2800 Euro in your pocket. you will pay around 800 Euro taxes and 500 Euro for the social care system.
Best beer? mhhh where should I start? Lammbräu ( Urstoff, Hell ), Brauerei Sander ( Hell, Weizen ), Schmucker ( Landbier, Hell). Those are my favorites, but very hard to find abroad. You can order it online! 😅
6:30 sad truth for you... The best beers come from really small breweries and you're *very* unlikely to get them elsewhere, especially as far away as Malaysia :)
Hey you live in Malaysia? I used to live in Melaka for 2 years 15 years ago. Do they still use their special English "I'm sorryla"? You asked about the best beer here in Germany. But it depends on your taste. Some people like Pils, others are more the weed beer kind of people, etc. I'm currently in my Naturtrüb or local brewery phase. If you're ever in Freiburg: try Feierling beer. It's a local brewery, you can only get and drink it there. They're making and selling 2000 litres of beer every day. Greetings from Freiburg ❤
1: i have to pay 300 Euros each Semester. Which is not for free, but compared to other countries 300,- is kind of for free 😂 2: There is no such thing as the best beer in Germany. Each region has a different way of brewing and the difference in taste is enormous.They also come in different glasses. In Cologne you drink Kölsch, in Bavaria you drink Weizen, in northern Germany you drink Pils, etc..I also really like Belgium Beer but it’s much stronger in alcohol so you get hammered really quick, which is sometimes quite inconvenient. 3: quality of Food is indeed really really good. I lived in Australia for 2 years and without a doubt the thing I missed the most was German bread and German supermarkets 4: I went to Berghain couple of times. It has the best sound system I have ever experienced and visuals and music coming together is just absolutely mindblowing. It is really hard to get in because it is a also a gay & kinky club. many people would be very overwhelmed and irritated by the things they see. They are strict at the door because they want to create a safe space for everyone inside without being stared at. Only people who can handle what’s going on inside and have the proper mindset, are allowed inside. And they are really good at finding out who that it is and who is not. I have one request🤓 when you are commenting on something that is said, please pause the video you’re watching. I can not understand what either of you say when you both speak at the same time 🤝🤓 thanks ! (German honesty)
My teacher in secondary school told us that we can become anything in Germany if we want to and can. Also Chancellor ( Mein Lehrer in der Hauptschule sagte uns, dass wir in Deutschland alles werden können wenn wir es wollen und können. Auch Bundeskanzler )
The best german beers for me are Becks, Warsteiner, Wernesgrüner and Erdinger. There is also a unique mix here of lemonade and beer, called RADLER, very delicious. And that thousands of fantastic bread sorts here are also unique - in all that countries that I have travelled I've found never such a diversity, very recommendable.
School and university are usually free of charge or fees. However, often you have to pay for school or college books unless you can lend them from school or the university bib. And as university student, usually you have to pay for a rare single flat or community flat as an appartement in a college student dorm is as rare as an oasis in the desert. These living costs often are criticized by German politicians as these additional costs restricts the possibility of talented young people from poor worker families to start an academic career.
As a German, I have to admit that in addition to German beer, Belgium, Denmark and Czechs can also produce good beers. As long as it tastes good, I don't care who made it.
You are asking for the best beer and you are a football fan? Go to any stadium in Germany, watch a game of your choice while enjoying any German beer that is being offered to you. It will taste delicious, you will experience a great atmosphere and you will have a memory for life!
There is no "best beer" in Germany also depends on personal taste but to give some hints; Altbier: on the more bitter side Uerige or Schumacher on the sweeter side Füchsen or Schlüssel and a generic one would be Diebels; Kölsch: Gaffel or Reissdorf; generic Pils: bitter side Jever sweeter Flensburger; Köstritzer Schwarzbier is delicous and there´re tonns of bavarian Helles which are extremly good and of cause a lot of good local beers like Herforder Pils you can´t go wrong with. And from Austria Gösser Radler Naturtrüb is a must.
I live in Germany but want to move to Switzerland again. Idk, everything just works compared to in Germany and people are actually happy with the government
So. Berghain club in Berlin. Well. Yes. Tough to get in. Ironically I played the(ir) game successfully and I don’t even like the music or atmosphere inside. So here’s my take on it. What are they looking for? Well, basically people who make tourists think what a cool place Berghain is. I dressed in soccer gear in the middle of winter, i dressed in leather fetish. Bith times not only did I get in, but they picked ne to jump the line. How refreshing that being gay additionally helps for once. Fun fact: i always left after less than sn hour. But if the music is your cup of tea, it sure is (used to be) quite an experience
That is interesting. It is nice to get real insight into it. I have heard so much about it before and it has always been somewhere I wanted to try and get into.
Yes, the reason why it's hard to get into is not only the popularity of the club but the ambiguity of their criterias. It is not about dressing well, it's about being unique and interesting which can't be put in a formula. If a lot of people are following your advice and dress in soccer gear in winter they won't get in anymore. The leather fetish on the other hand will probably work everytime :D
Hallo Ja sicher gibt es hier in Deutschland viele Burgen und Schlösser. Die Mentalität ist wie in jedem Land ihre eigene. In den jeweiligen Regionen des Landes unterscheidet sich selbst diese noch mitunter sogar sehr. Aber auch die Landschaft ist ein großer Punkt der Erwähnung finden sollte. Von Hochgebirge bis zum Wattenmeer ist landschaftlich vieles geboten. Es lohnt sich auch damit zu beschäftigen.

As a German I obviously love German beer. I like bitter beers the most, like northern Germany's Jever. But there's a lot of German beers I don't like. Not a fan of Hefeweizen (rich wheat beer) or "Helles". What I do love, European wise, is Polish or Czech beer. Tyskie, Budvar, Pilsener Urquell and all that. Belgian beers are very unique and interesting as well. I also enjoy all the stuff you can get at Irish pubs - and Germany has quite a lot of 'em. Other than that I bet you can find pretty good beer in most European countries. But these are the very best I had and that's very subjective to one's personal taste after all ;-)
I have come to know the english, the dutch, the belgian, the danish, the spanish, the chinese, the us-american, and naturally the german beer... and to be honest, the german beer is the most diverse. I have tried it out so much, and the best for me are the sweeter sorts from bavaria. But the english, dutch and belgian beers are at least as good.
I think the closest foreign accent to German is the Welsh rural accent in Britain when they speak English. I often thought they were Germans that still have the accent. 🤣
Great video. As a German living in Munich, I can say: many Germans are notorious complainers. They don't see all the advantages that are mentioned. I will recommend your video to all these people :-))
You definitly need to try "Augustiner Edelstoff". But there are many many more. I think the 2nd best beer comes from Czech Republic! Honestly every european country has at least a few really good beers 🙂
There are about 1300 breweries in Germany, so best to try yourself. Near Darmstadt shall be the biggest/largest beer market of the world, you could test a bit.
Regarding the beer, I hate main American beer brands, but there is really good local beer here as well. In regards to Europe, luckily there are many many good beers, we are all winners there. No matter if it is a German Pilsner, or a Guinness, etc. Amazing all over. All Winners.
you are even asking which country in europe has the best beer?? is there any doubts that its GERMANY?? Beer is the german soul, nobody explains us how beer works. Even our tanks are made to make sure you wont loose a single drop of beer if you put your beer in full drive at the barrel
Best beer in Germany? Oh Mert, this is a very personal question! XD For me it's "Rothaus Tannenzäpfle" (Swabian) as a normal "Pils" - my favorite dark beer is actually Austrian (Zillertal Schwarzes) - my favorite wheat beer is "Erdinger Weissbier" (very tasty Bavarian) and it's also my favorite alcohol free (Erdinger Alkoholfrei)
I know more reasons to leave Germany, but I haven't dared to do it yet. Leaving your family and friends behind is harder, you know? Blood is thicker than water... means your own Blood, your family is more important than anything else.
View from a Deutschman: According to me school education such as university MUST be free, since it is always a win-win for all, pupils, students, the society, the state as individual talents are widely spread across social ranks. What a waste of capacities and talents it would be for highly talented children not being able to develop only because of lacking money?! E.g. the inventors of the first anti-covid vaccine (BioNTech labs, later produced and sold by Pfizer) were Germans with Turkish migration background - probably not the wealthiest social class, I assume ... Einsteins should not work in coal mines ;)
I definitely appreciate the free education available a lot. I think what even makes it different from Scotland is the fact that it's free for literally everyone, even internationals. In Scotland and mostly the rest of the world as well, you pay MUCH more as an international.
I would never leave Germany because: - For medical reasons. I need a lot of medicaments and I think they could be a lot more expensive somewhere else. - Yep, the bread. I love walking into a bakery enjoying the wonderful smell, its heaven for me. - Safety. Even though I dont have kids Im proud of living in a country where I can go for a walk at midnight through the city and nothing will happen to me. Of course things can happen (and they happened) but its very safe here after all - Vacation and holidays. I think theres no other country which has the same amount of work-free days. 30 days vacation/year plus a bunch of holidays (at least in Bavaria, I guess we have the most). - Water quality. I remember being in Tunesia or even in the US, drinking tap water is not recommended... you always have a bad taste of chlorine in it. Those people there are used to it but our stomach goes crazy and you wont have a good time... 🙂 But here in Germany you can drink tap water without having a bad time after you did it. Greetings from Munich!
Mert, I love your scotish accent. And trough Germany there are all kinds of beers ;) and our Bundesländer also argue within who has the best beer. I am a lost case on this, as half German...first don't like alcohol at all and you can “hunt me with beer“ I don't like any beer. Sorry
If you're severely disabled (which is difficult to prove and you have to tell them every few years, that yes you're leg has still not grown back or something like that), you get a lot of benefits. Every company over a certain size has to pay the government money, if they don't have a severely disabled person working there. It encourages businesses to employ them despite the benefits they get like more vacation days and an increased protection to being fired. (There is an external board, that needs to make sure, that they aren't fired for being disabled or consequences of that.) If you're sick, your health insurance will pay. If you're sick for a very long time, other measures apply. Pregnant woman don't have to work after a certain point. They get maternity leave, that's multiple months. Unions are very common and protected. Good luck preventing one, that's illegal and the law will destroy you. Culture, sports and aid organizations are tax-exempt or have reduced taxes, if they keep to very strict laws. So the money will reach. The police has no reason to expect you to be armed, so they're less aggressive. Also they're significantly better trained. I can't think of more right now, but there's more. We're a capitalist market with a social welfare government.
University is tuition free, that is correct. That does not mean that you can enter any course at any university without hinderance. Many are overflowing with students, others are very complex so there are either entrance exams or a minimum grade point average to enter (the so-called numerus clausus, or NC for short). So certain scholastic prerequisites do exist for many courses. Some universities also have maximum numbers of students per starting semester. There is however an administration fee that lumps together fees for your ASTA (your student council for your university, representing all students), local public transportation semester tickets, and actual registration fees (gasp, yes, they do exist, its not a scam). Depending on the university and state these vary from 150 to 300 € per semester. If you go to museums and many cultural sites that requires entrance tickets there is a high chance you will get a reduced price student ticket. Does that mean everyone has a carefree scholarship? Hell no. You still need to cover your own daily and monthly expenses like rent, food, yada-yada. So, applause for Scotland that you have the same idea. Seems that Scotland and Germany aren't that far apart in a general mindset. Education, healthcare, employee's protection, all that seems very comparable/similar. Oooh, don't touch off the 'best beer' discussion. That's a very local thing. With the vast selection across Europe you'd be hard pressed to even TRY all of them once; much less be able to come to a reasoned conclusion. It would be even harder to have an actual side-by-side comparison. With over 5000 in Germany alone, and a few thousand more in other contries you'd have a liver failure with even one sip of each. 😂 The time it takes to sip, swallow, and analyze each sip would mean you'd be taste testing for several days straight through. But even then that won't be conclusive because once you are finished taste testing, there will probably be another brewery somewhere. So if you find one that you really like, stay with it if you can get it in your area. Don't let anyone shout you down; it's your own darned taste buds that decide.
As a German, I think it's right that we have the biggest variety of beers and the oldest brewery in the world, but I am with Belgian beer which I think is the best. Try a Trappist with acl. > 10% - liquid gold. Personally the best German beer may come from Bavaria from a small brewery in the country side - there are tons of local breweries you don't find in the super market. My favorite "commercial" beer is Schneider Weiße/Schneider Aventinus.
Belgium has the best beer. Certainly in terms of Trappist beers. Of course being Belgian I would say that 😀 Having said that German Weissbier is a thing of beauty. I you go to the Bavarian Region try it wonderful. Not sure whether it is readily available in UK though.
Books and traveling costs might not be fully free in Germany but in general, yes education is free. Belgium beer is not bad. I like most German beers ^^
Herforder Pils is the best beer ;-) but love polnish beer too. P1 you only can get in if you know someone. and then it is real fun. you can split thre materty-leave with the father of the child. so each parent can get 1year (70% sallery) off.
Because you asked about the best German beer: As I said in another comment, there is no "best" beer, but there is a huge selection with significant regional differences. An insider tip are the beers from Franconian Switzerland (which many Germans don't know either): More than 400 house breweries in a relatively small area, some with family recipes passed down for generations. Since most small breweries do without big advertising, you don't pay for it in the purchase price. So you get excellent, original local quality at a low price, and every beer in the next village actually tastes different.
These reasons that he will never leave Germany, actually make me want to go to Germany. What is your favourite thing about Germany?
Subtitles are available in German (and English). They are just from Google translate so may not be the best but I thought they would be better than nothing.
The food, german bread and Currywurst is hard to find elsewhere
As far as I know, he left Germany a couple of months ago. I guess it was due to racism and some other stuff. Even Hailey left Germany. It's not so pretty here if you are different.

Greetings from 🇩🇪
The best beer is always from the local brewery. There is no "best" beer.
No matter where your trip takes you in Germany, just ask for the house beer / the local beer in the restaurant or bar.
I personally really like Irish beer when I drink beer.
Love your accent!🤘
Great advice mate thanks. That is a great idea and when I come to Germany I will definitely do that. Thanks for the kind comment!!
@@whoismertsalih all beer in germany is brewed under the so called "reinheitsgebot". it translates roughly "purity commandmend". it allows only to take water, hops, malt and sometimes yeast for making beer. no additives allowed.
Exactly, there are over 5000 types of beer in Germany, so it would be pointless to look for the "best" beer. You generally won't go wrong with the local beer, and furthermore it's the best way to sample at least a small portion of the country's vast selection.
Im from upper Franconia. For me there is no better beer than Bavarian beer. I travel through whole Germany many times and drank a lot of local beer there. I just think in many other states is the helles beer not quite well known. But I love the diversity of the beer culture in our Country.
So this sounds very interesting... a German beer hiking vacation xD A Trip through Germany and in each city tasting the local beer brewery...
as a german, the number 1 thing that always pulls me back home is our bread. i can´t live without it for longer than a couple of month
YES !!!!! I'm Swiss and I feel the exact same way about our bread. I used to travel a lot when I was younger, but I also liked to come back after maybe a month or so, and the first thing was always to get a Bratwurst and a piece of real bread. The other thing I appreciate greatly is the fact that we have potable water directly from the tab. In most other countries I went to (Brazil, Spain, France Turkey etc) people have to buy their water which isn't cheap in many cases. Gruss aus Zürich
6:20 i love the "Paulaner Hefe-Weißbier Naturtrüb" ^^. But you should drink it in a Biergarten with nice, shiny, hot weather.
Bro be honest. I'm a German, live 27 years over here (my hole life) and if you got in mind to live here or just for a visit, do it! You're so welcome and we would be happy if someone like you and you're family will join us. You need to work for it it's not easy over here, but if you do this for you're family don't hestitate to make a move over here. You won't regret it. I'm for sure. Greetings from the lovely Black Forest.
Schau dir paar Videos von heutigen Chicago,San Francisco.... Hawaii (von Regierung hat jeder 700 Dollar bekommen und das was😢)
Und dann frag dich selbst ob du dort leben willst😊
I recommend the Black Forest Family videos and My merry messy life. They have children and share their experiances to move here with kids
bread!!!! and the bakeries - the single thing that every German will miss when being somewhere else 😄I also love the tolerance of people (living in Cologne) and the vicinity to other culture hubs in Europe (3-5hrs on the train will get you to Paris, Brussels, Prague, Berlin, Amsterdam, etcetcetc
Well my reason why I wouldn't want to leave Germany is simple. I love my country. This is my home. I grew up here, all my memories are connected to Germany. My family, my friends. I would love to visit other countries and I am sure they are great too but I would always come home in the end.
👍👍👍
Free education is a really important issue for me as well, knowing my kids can get any education they want for free is reassuring. I do not understand why other countries do not value a well educated population enough to offer them free education as well.
Another important aspect to live in Germany is the social security that was actually invented in Germany in 1871 by Otto von Bismarck who introduced health insurance as well as pensions. Health insurance was introduced in 1883 and old age insurance was introduced in 1889 by Otto von Bismarck, so both are long established and work well. Since you asked about it, I'll copy a comment I wrote on another video at the bottom of this.
In my view, German beer is indeed superior to other beers, mostly because it is still brewed according to the German "Reinheitsgebot" of 1516 which states that you can only use water, hop and malt to brew beer and a real beer does not need any chemicals indeed. My favourite is Karlsberg Urpils, note that is Karlsberg with a K while Carlsberg with a C is more known worldwide since that Danish brewery had the older international rights of the name and therefore, Karlsberg is called Karlsbräu outside of Germany. Since you live in Asia, it might be easiest for you to get Tsingtao beer which is a brewery started by Germans when Germany still had a colony there (dark times) but as far as I know, they still brew according to the Reinheitsgebot.
Other things I like about Germany are:
- the diversity of people, different regions are also culturally very diverse and people interact differently depending on where you are. Some are more reluctant at first while others are more outgoing but in general, people are welcoming if you approch them nicely.
- the variety of food offered at a very high standard, be it bread or "Brötchen" and a huge variety of salty or sweet pastries from actual bakeries instead of mass production.
- the interaction between people from neighbouring countries, especially in the area where I live which is called "Saar-Lor-Lux" to reveal already in the name that it sees itself as an area of three countries - Saarland in Germany, Lothringen in France and Luxembourg where people live in one of the countries and may work in another one of them, go shopping or visiting or attending concerts, ... in another one of them, ... It creates a very open society where borders do not really matter any longer as it should be in my view.
Here is the copied comment from another video:
By law, your maximum work time per day is 8 hours which can be extended to 10 hours if your average working hours over 6 months still are 8 hours per day, so you work less than 8 hours on some days to then work up to 10 hours on other days. The maximum work time per week is 48 hours which can also be extended to 60 hours if your average over 4 months reamains 48 hours or less.
By law, you get at least 20 days off per year even with those restrictions in place. Most companies offer much more, most people I know get around 30 days paid leave per year for vacations. In addition to those days, there are 10-14 national or regional holidays per year. On top of that, you can get up to 5 days per year or 10 days within any given 2 years to participate in a course that will enhance your skills in your job. You can also combine these days with your vacation so that you may take a course for 5 days abroad and then spend another 2 weeks (or more) there on vacation.
By law, you can take up to 6 weeks of paid sick leave per year during which your employer pays 100% of your salary. After those 6 weeks, you get 70% of your gross salary but not more than 90% of your net salary by your mandatory health insurance for up to an additional 78 weeks. Most employers do not even require a doctor's notice if you only call in sick for one or even two days. It is actually considered polite towards your colleagues to do that since you won't infect them with your cold or whatever you may be suffering from.
Your mandatory health insurance is roughly paid in half by yourself and in half by your employer but it does not depend on your employer or even on being employed. If you lose your job, the insurance is paid by the state and you keep all the benefits you had while you were employed - or you get them even if you were never employed.
Your mandatory health insurance covers everything, you just need to pay a small part of the cost, e.g. 5 EUR for any medication even if it would cost thousands of EUR or 10 EUR per day you need to stay in a hospital no matter what is being done, all treatments are fully covered. For dental work you may have to pay a surcharge depending on the type of treatment but routine checkups and minor repairs are covered. All payments are further limited to 2% of your annual gross salary, so no matter which sickness you may have, you stop paying any surcharges once you reached that 2% threshold. Nobody in Germany is afraid of calling an ambulance since it is always free unless you called it as some kind of joke and no matter where you are in Germany, either an ambulance or a helicopter will get to you within 8 to 15 minutes and either treat you where you are or if necessary take you to the nearest hospital that can deal with your injury or sickness.
By law, any employee is also covered by old age insurance so that you get a certain percentage of your income once you retire. This percentage depends on the number of years you were employed, your income and some other factors, e.g. if you took parental leave, that time will be included in your benefits. This is also paid in half by the employer and the employee and changing your job to another company does not affect it at all, you don't lose your earned benefits ever.
By law, parental leave is 36 months which can be split between both parents and it can also be interrupted, e.g. 12 months after birth, then 6 months when the child turns 3 and the remaining 18 months when the child gets to school. During parental leave, the state pays between 65% (if you earn much) up to 100% if you earn 1800 EUR per month or less. After your parental leave, your employer is legally obliged to keep employing you.
When I see videos or reactions like this from the US it's always mind-blowing for me, that safety is such a huge point. I saw a Video where a girl told about an incident at a street café when some "cool kids" decided to throw firecrackers and she immediately dived down under the table, expecting a shooting. We don't really appreciate how lucky we are being German by chance as it was not our decision to be born here.
Hey there Mert! New subscriber here from Northern-Germany...
I love your style.. and , of course, especially your scottish accent.. ;)
I am a half brit (My Dad from Newcastle, which is very "near" to your *homeland* ) and my Mom from Germany..
I was born here on a "American Base-Passport".. I love your respectful reactions. Makes sense, that you are respectful to other cultures, since you seem to be married to a "foreign" person, and you are still alive! ;)
"Soldier for Life" is actually a very good and respected youtuber when it gets to the "american reacts to germany" thing... he is honest and he lives the life in germany... even though it is not "germany", but bavaria... which is NOT Germany... just like scotland is not England.. ;)
Love your stuff.
Thank you!
The standard anual leave in Germany is 30 days, i'd say. There are some companies that grant less, but by law, 20 days anual leave is the minimum (if you work 5 days of the week).
As a German, I would never leave my home country! I love this country - for its rich history, the beautiful different landscapes, the culture, the diversity, the security in all areas of life, the friendliness of the people, the helpfulness with each other, the incredibly social interaction, the willingness and interest in new things to learn, ... Of course I love traveling around the world and exploring other countries/cultures and getting to know the country and its people (through various trips I have made many friends in Croatia, for example, this wonderful country has become a kind of second home for me ^ ^) - but despite all the beauty of other countries, Germany is and remains the country where my heart lies... 0:01 0:01 0:01
I'm from Germany, but have lived and worked in Scotland, France (where I also studied), Malaysia (as an expat), plus some other countries throughout the world for shorter assignments.
While I loved being in those countries and learning about their culture and getting to know country and people, I fully appreciate, what Germany offers in terms of work contractual minimum regulations, healthcare, education, security, etc.
Actually, after having had a British work contract (e.g. limited sick days?? WTH??), I always worked on getting back to having a German contract, but being sent abroad, which has worked out fine for me. 😊
As a German, I will of course say that our beer is special and, above all, varied. Incidentally, this applies to many things such as bread or sausage products, etc. Why is that? Well, Germany has actually only existed as a nation since 1871. Before that there were many different kingdoms, duchies, counties, free imperial cities, etc. These were very self-sufficient, had different laws, their own regional cultures and therefore also quite different cuisines. Even within cities, for example, several smaller breweries have developed and even if many have merged in the course of modern times, the traditions of smaller breweries have been kept and new ones have been founded again. So there are still many hundreds of regional beers, urban beers but also country beers, with very different flavors.
That's why we in Germany can definitely say that we have damn good beers. However, since we are already used to enjoying many varieties at home, we also do this outside of our country. We find good beers wherever there are good, long-established brewing traditions, e.g. in Austria, the Czech Republic, Belgium, Great Britain, Ireland... the latter also brought about the distillation of fine beer. 😉
Thick Scottish accent mate. Great wark mate.
Thanks mate haha
@@whoismertsalih und man versteht dich super 🤩
@@Patrick-on2ty Danke :D
The reason why i can not leave my country as a germa is that i can stay in the middle of a marketplace ora supermarket or in front of a policestation and can scream that i cannot like our parlament, i have the freedom to say what i think. It is from Hoffmann von Fallersleben the thoughts are free, you are free and that is for me the most important reason never to leave germany I am free, free to learn and become what I want and go to where I like to go, say what I have to say. Not everything is good, but there is allways a solution you can find also when you need help. Germans do not recognize often in which social country we live!
theres a bunch more serious reasons as to why i would never want to permanently leave germany (family ties, healthcare stuff, etc etc etc) but honestly speaking one reason would be the bread. i once spent 10 days in rome, and i loved it! i study latin, it was a super awesome trip, i would love to go again!!! but dear g-d. by the end of the trip i was pretty much going thru bread withdrawal bc i couldnt stand the italian bread anymore
Yes, eat it in the morning, build houses with it by afternoon 😂
Free education: You will pay a couple hundred Euros for bureaucracy fees and the student public transport ticket, but basically, it's free, yes. And that is one of the reasons I wouldn't leave Germany.
Beer: There are about 5k+ brands of beer. I'm pretty sure it's a good way to start a civil war to ask for the best one :D
Safety: That's one of the biggest reasons I would never leave my home country. I want to be sure that my kid will come home safely from school, without being shot, stabbed, abducted, harassed or what. And I want to know that people care (grannies hanging out in their windows watching the school kids go by, knowing every single one WILL call the police if they see something strange).
Other reasons for me: Healthcare: There may be better ones out there, but for me, it's enough. Job safety: Nope, you won't fire me with a 2 days notice, ever. Work-life-balance: Germans are inherently lazy and will work hard to have enough leisure time. Yes, we are weird. Family care: Kindergeld (literally money the state gives you for having kids), Elternzeit and Elterngeld (unpaid time off with work protection, combined with money to help you over that time), and many, many benefits for families and kids.
If you have family and want to move, Germany should be upper top 5.
Everything you mentioned actually only makes me want to live and work in Germany even more. It all sounds great and really made to make peoples like very comfortable. The opposite is the same here in Malaysia unfortunately. Germany sounds like a perfect place for families
@@whoismertsalih It is not perfect for everybody, but at least for me and my family (I have 3 young kids), it is. And German is not that hard to learn once you conquer grammatical gender. English and German are related, after all.
Yeah as a german who already taught german to foreign students i can validate that. If you feel comfortable speaking english don't fear to learn german. The 2 languages have way more in common than you might think. Not only much of the vocabulary is related, also the grammar is kind of similar (for examples we use the exact same forms of grammatical times for verbs).
Der Staat erwirtschaftet NICHTS.Also ist das Geld nicht vom Staat sondern es sind Steuergelder der arbeitenden Menschen.
Ich kann Deutschland nicht empfehlen.Hier geht alles den Bach runter. Davon ab: Deutschland ist sicher?😂Schon lange nicht mehr, zumindest nicht in den Städten.
Best Beer depends on the occasion. Heads up I'm Belgian 😂, but i've studied, lived and worked in Germany. If you want to go drink loads, like on a night out, i would advise some german or Czech beer, it tastes good, it is pure ( reinheitsgebot -> only water, barley, hops and sometimes yeast are allowed) , and the chance of a massive hangover is less. There are thousands of breweries, BUT there really are only about 4 kinds of beer made with a local touch in each area.
BUT if you just want to chill, have a beer or 2 to take the edge of or cook with beer or pair your drinks with food , Belgian beer is the way to go. We treat it more like wine. In Belgium, beer is not restricted by the Reinheitsgebot , and is the only place in the world where all 3 ( or 4) brewing methods ( look it up, too long to explain 😉) are used and combined. This leads to several dozens of kinds, with hundreds of breweries making over a thousand different beers. So anyone will find a beer to suit their flavour pallet, even non beer drinkers. There are a lot more distinct varieties from peach or cherry beer to Trappist ales. Be carefull tho, if you drink these at a rate you'd consume the Stella Artois we export ( NOT the most popular pilsner here btw) you'll have a very short night and a very bad morning 😂. So We keep the really good stuff to ourselves , a way to keep the tourists coming i guess , if you want it, you gotta make an effort to visit. . 😂✌️❤️
Ps: when i lived in the US i had the local beermarket/liquor store importing a tonne of German beer for me every month. Not just for me, but mainly for the americans friends that i converted to drinking "real" beer, they continued doing this after i left. There is really no way back to american pisswater once you've tasted european beers. 😂
If there is a fight about the best beer, it's only between germany and czech republic!
if you want to live in germany you need a lot of money or you end up homeless on the street
441,000 refugees who dreamed of great happiness in germany are homeless and live under bridges these things are never broadcast on tv
Yes time have changed I am Born in germany
Germany is that good, that the family of my brothers son, who emigrated to South Africa 45 Years ago, emigrates to Germany this Year.
The best German beer is the local one.
My personal top tier beer countries are Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany. In no particular order.
Very good beers can be found in Poland as well. I've also tasted good Italian beer though I'm more into wine when travelling there or going dining Italian.
Yeah you are so correct about Belgium, Czech Republic and Germany. They all have great beers. I don't think I have ever tried Polish beer though so I will need to give it a try. Yeah when it comes to Italian beer I do like a Peroni or Moretti.
I'm no beer drinker, but my dad once got some Polish beer from a client and he was _so_ into it, so I agree, looks like there's some pretty good beer in Poland!
You asked for a reason why I would never leave Germany. That's simple: Health insurance and security feeling in general. I love jumping around the world but nowhere is this feeling of "when shit hits the fan, we're gonna help ya". Ofc there are problems like everywhere but nowhere on earth I get this strong feeling of do whatever you want to do - we got your back.
The Club you are talking about sounds like the Berghain. And there is no masterplan to get in, espacially when the bouncer Sven Marquardt is on duty. A good advice is not to wear bright colours, never appear in groups, and always look a bit kinda sad. But when you get in you'll find a very unique location. You should be into Techno, but on the top floor is the 'Panaromabar' where the music is a bit smoother. To see a sunrise from that point is just a wonderful thing. Greetings from Berlin.
I've spent my mid twenties in Ireland. Although I loved my time there, I really missed the taste of our tap water. The tap water in Ireland always made me homesick 😂
Apart from German beer, I really like Czech beer. It's different but delicious!
I absolutely agree. Both topics: water and beer as well.
There are hundreds of (regional) beer brands in Germany, but Jever Pils and Bitburger Pils are quite good.
Czech Republic (from Prague and Pilsen) have good beer as well: Pilsener Urquell = Pilsenski Pradsdroij or Staropramen;
Go to a local beverage store in Germany and try every week another 6-pack and stay at that brand you like most.
My personal most favourite beer brand is 'Mönchshof'.
To be fair the restrictions on dogfood here in germany are even higher then the restriction on normal food and therefor also higher Quality.
I'm from Germany. The Czech (and the German) beer is the best.
Asking for the best German beer is like asking for the best Scottish whiskey. I once heard a Scot say: Do I know which people I'm meeting tonight? What do i have for breakfast? Which weather we have tomorrow?
Ouch serious bad foul from you...
You've really switched from "quality bread" to "We know Germany has got sausages"! If Germany has anything outstanding to offer in food that is without any doubt our bread. Nothing to say against the sausages - but the one thing every German is missing on any holyday is bread.
I will need to try some more German bread. Actually there is a good German cafe here in Kuala Lumpur. Maybe I will make a video there and get some of their bread
I love our Sausages. But it’s more a thing of Poland. Polish sausages is OP. Our bread is of course the best in the world.
The best beer? Difficult. Maybe you like Paulaner or Erdinger Weißbier. I love those. Or as my neighbor loves Fürstenberg Pils and Rothaus. But i have to say the beer from the czech republic is as good. They love beer as well 😉😚
I will need to try those beers and see how they are. Europe really does have some amazing beer
British beer isn't bad either, but you drink it warm and without carbon. Kilkenny and Harp is also very good but I think that's Irish.
Best German beer is difficult to say. We have standard beers like Bitburger or Krombacher, not bad but nothing special either, but the good ones are the regional beers like Bayreuther Aktien, Chiemseer Hell, Köstritzer Dunkel or Einbecker Premium
Kösi schwarz
There is no single best beer. Everyone has different preferences. In Germany there is wheat beer, Altbier, Kölsch, Pilsener, Starkbier, Schwarzbier, Export/Pilsener, etc. It also depends on the situation. If I drink to refresh myself in the summer, if I drink in the disco or at a privat party, then I like Kölsch (I live in North Rhine-Westphalia, but in a region where Altbier is drunk). Or do I drink beer with a meal and then what do I eat? On vacation I also like to drink the local beer brands. The Czechs drink the most beer per capita, and not only Germany has a strong beer culture.
Yes, the Berghain is worthwhile when you are in Berlin. But there are a lot of good clubs. There is something for every musical taste. But throughout Germany there are many good options for nightlife. But it wasn't always as relaxed as he says. I've also seen fights. But the security service or the police always sorted everything out quickly. I have never experienced gun violence.
Yes, there is crime in Germany too - including violent crime. But in general Germany is safe and you don't need to be afraid. In big cities like Berlin, Hamburg, Frankfurt etc. there are actually places that are unsafe, especially for women. Germany is about the same as all of Europe.
Yes, the German government basically takes care of socially disadvantaged people. In Germany you can argue forever about which areas are doing well and which areas are doing poorly - including which areas the state is doing too much. Most of the taxes that the state receives are spent on the social system. It prevents poverty and the social problems that arise from poverty. It prevents you from losing outright just because you're born into a lower-class family.
As you have a family, check out the TH-cam Channel "My Merry Messy Life".
Ok will do mate, thanks
They are definitely the go to channel. They look at every aspect of life in Germany, particularly for children. Their videos are full of well researched information and tips but at the same time entertaining.
There is a lot of information about different kinds of ‘benefits’ in the videos also. I’m sure you could reach out to them. They are so lovely.
I am German but have been living in the UK for the last 30 odd years. All I know is that the number of holidays is a lot higher that in England. Also the work life balance is a lot better in Germany than here. You can stay at home for a year after the birth of a child and this time can be split between the parents.
Never had a problem to get into a club in Berlin, just that one time after we had a christmas-party and I was cross-eyed already they did'nt let me in... however, when you come with a larger group of guys seemingly originating from the beautiful south, the bouncers might be sceptical due to practical experience.
I think he is talking about Berghain. As you said most clubs you get easily in.
The schoolbooks you get from the school for lend in the next year the next pupils get the book and you get new ones for the next grade.
In one year I got a book which I could ceep at the end of the year, because they changed the books the next year.
Jever Pilsener might be (and has been) a challenge… quite bitter for some but tasty and does not fail its purpose😉
The best beer depends on your taste. For me, the best beer comes out of Bavaria.
To the working benefits: I work for Bosch, so im in a Rahmentarifvertrag metal (kind of a framework for sallery and benefits) the company is bound to.
From this I just got 1,5k € to compensate a little of the high inflation and as parent I can have 8 additional days of payed leave (additional to the 30 I already got) and this are just examples. This isn't provided by the government, but the legislative framework for this is provided.
About the school: original I finished the lowest German school but I got up to A level and a university degree after I worked for around 6 years. I even got money from the state. It must be repayed to a certain degree (around 25% in my case) but that's OK. Schools and university were for free.
For „everyday“ use i prefer northern beers, Like Becks or Flensburger, but for Special issues i love Hacker-Pschorr Märzen…it‘s a Festtagsbier from Oktoberfest with 5,8% vol. so definitly no „piss water“ 😂
Asking what the best beer is gets you killed.just ...don't.(it's Tannenzäpfle)
Try these: Alpirsbacher Klosterbräu Spezial, Schönbuch Braumanufaktur Jäger Spezial, Farny Weissbier, Sternla Helles,
Tegernseer Hell, Jever Pils, Kölsch, Altbier, Radeberger Pils, Andechser Doppelbock Dunkel (take care, this one is very strong and will f u up in a way you never experienced before!!!)
These are just a few from different regions.
Southern beer is more a Lager, northern it's becoming more a Pils...generally spoken.
I highly doubt you can get them in the UK...perhaps someone can send them to you or you can order them online?
Here is a little input about the social care system in Germany. I think that could be interesting for u.
The social caresystem in germany is founded on 5 pillars around the year 1900 from Otto von Bismarch (you heard from this guy). And every person in Germany, especialy when u are unemployed, have to pay for this social system. (For unemployed people the government takes the part as long they are unemployed)
So our 5 pillars are:
Health insurance (paid 50/50 by employer and and the worker)
Care insurance (for people living in retirement homes or needs help in allday business)
Retirement insurance (paid 50/50 as well)
Accident insurance (pays in case of a hard accident at work and helps peoples to find a way back to primary work)
Unemployment insurance ((paid 50/50)pays you around 70 % of your last selery for 12 month. After that you get the minimum social care.
After that we have generell taxes on every selery, wich depends on how much you earn.
So, if u earn in Germany around 4000 Euro in gross. there will stay around 2700 - 2800 Euro in your pocket. you will pay around 800 Euro taxes and 500 Euro for the social care system.
Best beer? mhhh where should I start? Lammbräu ( Urstoff, Hell ), Brauerei Sander ( Hell, Weizen ), Schmucker ( Landbier, Hell). Those are my favorites, but very hard to find abroad. You can order it online! 😅
czech beer ... Pilsener Urquell ❤
6:30 sad truth for you... The best beers come from really small breweries and you're *very* unlikely to get them elsewhere, especially as far away as Malaysia :)
Hey you live in Malaysia? I used to live in Melaka for 2 years 15 years ago. Do they still use their special English "I'm sorryla"?
You asked about the best beer here in Germany. But it depends on your taste. Some people like Pils, others are more the weed beer kind of people, etc. I'm currently in my Naturtrüb or local brewery phase. If you're ever in Freiburg: try Feierling beer. It's a local brewery, you can only get and drink it there. They're making and selling 2000 litres of beer every day.
Greetings from Freiburg ❤
1: i have to pay 300 Euros each Semester. Which is not for free, but compared to other countries 300,- is kind of for free 😂
2: There is no such thing as the best beer in Germany. Each region has a different way of brewing and the difference in taste is enormous.They also come in different glasses. In Cologne you drink Kölsch, in Bavaria you drink Weizen, in northern Germany you drink Pils, etc..I also really like Belgium Beer but it’s much stronger in alcohol so you get hammered really quick, which is sometimes quite inconvenient.
3: quality of Food is indeed really really good. I lived in Australia for 2 years and without a doubt the thing I missed the most was German bread and German supermarkets
4: I went to Berghain couple of times. It has the best sound system
I have ever experienced and visuals and music coming together is just absolutely mindblowing. It is really hard to get in because it is a also a gay & kinky club. many people would be very overwhelmed and irritated by the things they see. They are strict at the door because they want to create a safe space for everyone inside without being stared at. Only people who can handle what’s going on inside and have the proper mindset, are allowed inside. And they are really good at finding out who that it is and who is not.
I have one request🤓 when you are commenting on something that is said, please pause the video you’re watching. I can not understand what either of you say when you both speak at the same time 🤝🤓 thanks ! (German honesty)
Berghain, not Bergen . it's famous for it's music, long opening hours and availabity of drugs of nearly any kind as well for their strict door guards.
My teacher in secondary school told us that we can become anything in Germany if we want to and can. Also Chancellor ( Mein Lehrer in der Hauptschule sagte uns, dass wir in Deutschland alles werden können wenn wir es wollen und können. Auch Bundeskanzler )
The best german beers for me are Becks, Warsteiner, Wernesgrüner and Erdinger. There is also a unique mix here of lemonade and beer, called RADLER, very delicious.
And that thousands of fantastic bread sorts here are also unique
- in all that countries that I have travelled I've found never such a diversity, very recommendable.
You still have to pay an administrative fee for Uni once a semester, which is around 300 to 400 Euros. But yeah. Tuition itself is free.
In Germany some dog food even is human food quality 😂. German Becks, Flensburger or Tannenzäpfle are my Favorites. Danish Tuborg Rå is quite nice too.
I like ur accent, I am German but i mostly use American English.
School and university are usually free of charge or fees. However, often you have to pay for school or college books unless you can lend them from school or the university bib. And as university student, usually you have to pay for a rare single flat or community flat as an appartement in a college student dorm is as rare as an oasis in the desert. These living costs often are criticized by German politicians as these additional costs restricts the possibility of talented young people from poor worker families to start an academic career.
As a German, I have to admit that in addition to German beer, Belgium, Denmark and Czechs can also produce good beers.
As long as it tastes good, I don't care who made it.
You are asking for the best beer and you are a football fan? Go to any stadium in Germany, watch a game of your choice while enjoying any German beer that is being offered to you. It will taste delicious, you will experience a great atmosphere and you will have a memory for life!
There is no "best beer" in Germany also depends on personal taste but to give some hints; Altbier: on the more bitter side Uerige or Schumacher on the sweeter side Füchsen or Schlüssel and a generic one would be Diebels; Kölsch: Gaffel or Reissdorf; generic Pils: bitter side Jever sweeter Flensburger; Köstritzer Schwarzbier is delicous and there´re tonns of bavarian Helles which are extremly good and of cause a lot of good local beers like Herforder Pils you can´t go wrong with. And from Austria Gösser Radler Naturtrüb is a must.
I love your accent
The castle in Disneyland is inspired by Schloss Neuschwanstein.
I´m German and i really love Beer from Belgium. Have to give it a try everyone!
I live in Germany but want to move to Switzerland again. Idk, everything just works compared to in Germany and people are actually happy with the government
So. Berghain club in Berlin. Well. Yes. Tough to get in. Ironically I played the(ir) game successfully and I don’t even like the music or atmosphere inside.
So here’s my take on it. What are they looking for? Well, basically people who make tourists think what a cool place Berghain is. I dressed in soccer gear in the middle of winter, i dressed in leather fetish. Bith times not only did I get in, but they picked ne to jump the line. How refreshing that being gay additionally helps for once. Fun fact: i always left after less than sn hour. But if the music is your cup of tea, it sure is (used to be) quite an experience
That is interesting. It is nice to get real insight into it. I have heard so much about it before and it has always been somewhere I wanted to try and get into.
Yes, the reason why it's hard to get into is not only the popularity of the club but the ambiguity of their criterias. It is not about dressing well, it's about being unique and interesting which can't be put in a formula. If a lot of people are following your advice and dress in soccer gear in winter they won't get in anymore. The leather fetish on the other hand will probably work everytime :D
@@jakobbrauer9121 you know what they say: dress like the bouncers 😉
Best german beer for me: "Einbecker Winter Bock". But the "Einbecker Mai Bock" is also great.
Hallo
Ja sicher gibt es hier in Deutschland viele Burgen und Schlösser. Die Mentalität ist wie in jedem Land ihre eigene. In den jeweiligen Regionen des Landes unterscheidet sich selbst diese noch mitunter sogar sehr.
Aber auch die Landschaft ist ein großer Punkt der Erwähnung finden sollte. Von Hochgebirge bis zum Wattenmeer ist landschaftlich vieles geboten.
Es lohnt sich auch damit zu beschäftigen.
Ein sehr bekannter deutscher Tierfilmer "Andreas Kieling" hat dazu einen sehr interessanten Film gedreht . Dabei ist er quer durch Deutschland gewandert.

Sorry der Kommentar bezog sich auf die dein Video zum Thema Sehenswürdigkeiten in Deutschland.
If ur in a good club in Berlin, Ur friends will only know if u tell them, because ur Handycameras, front and back get taped at the entrence, cause no Photos, you keep this adventure in mind (if you're the driver xD )
As a German I obviously love German beer. I like bitter beers the most, like northern Germany's Jever. But there's a lot of German beers I don't like. Not a fan of Hefeweizen (rich wheat beer) or "Helles". What I do love, European wise, is Polish or Czech beer. Tyskie, Budvar, Pilsener Urquell and all that. Belgian beers are very unique and interesting as well. I also enjoy all the stuff you can get at Irish pubs - and Germany has quite a lot of 'em. Other than that I bet you can find pretty good beer in most European countries. But these are the very best I had and that's very subjective to one's personal taste after all ;-)
I have come to know the english, the dutch, the belgian, the danish, the spanish, the chinese, the us-american, and naturally the german beer... and to be honest, the german beer is the most diverse. I have tried it out so much, and the best for me are the sweeter sorts from bavaria. But the english, dutch and belgian beers are at least as good.
I think the closest foreign accent to German is the Welsh rural accent in Britain when they speak English. I often thought they were Germans that still have the accent. 🤣
Great video. As a German living in Munich, I can say: many Germans are notorious complainers. They don't see all the advantages that are mentioned. I will recommend your video to all these people :-))
You definitly need to try "Augustiner Edelstoff". But there are many many more. I think the 2nd best beer comes from Czech Republic! Honestly every european country has at least a few really good beers 🙂
there is no best beer, but you can choose between thousands of brands and styles witch you will prefer.
Paulaner it one you can't get abroad.
There are about 1300 breweries in Germany, so best to try yourself. Near Darmstadt shall be the biggest/largest beer market of the world, you could test a bit.
Bitburger is the best beer in germany. Taste it and love it. ( if you from bavaria, ignore that ).
Best beer country in general are the czech republic and Poland imo. Germany is pretty high up as well. But it depends on what type of beer you like
German Beer is the best, but You get a lot of very good Beer in Belgium too.
I'm from Thuringia (Germany) (You know where your Royal Family has it's roots) AND education is importend for a society, it should be "free".
I think Einbecker Bockbier is the best. Also, I almost forgot about Köstritzer, that is one of my favourite ones.
Best german beer: Where to begin 😅. So many really great beers. It's up to your taste. But its always high quality!
Regarding the beer, I hate main American beer brands, but there is really good local beer here as well. In regards to Europe, luckily there are many many good beers, we are all winners there. No matter if it is a German Pilsner, or a Guinness, etc. Amazing all over. All Winners.
you are even asking which country in europe has the best beer?? is there any doubts that its GERMANY?? Beer is the german soul, nobody explains us how beer works. Even our tanks are made to make sure you wont loose a single drop of beer if you put your beer in full drive at the barrel
Best beer in Germany? Oh Mert, this is a very personal question! XD
For me it's "Rothaus Tannenzäpfle" (Swabian) as a normal "Pils" - my favorite dark beer is actually Austrian (Zillertal Schwarzes) - my favorite wheat beer is "Erdinger Weissbier" (very tasty Bavarian) and it's also my favorite alcohol free (Erdinger Alkoholfrei)
I know more reasons to leave Germany, but I haven't dared to do it yet. Leaving your family and friends behind is harder, you know? Blood is thicker than water... means your own Blood, your family is more important than anything else.
View from a Deutschman: According to me school education such as university MUST be free, since it is always a win-win for all, pupils, students, the society, the state as individual talents are widely spread across social ranks. What a waste of capacities and talents it would be for highly talented children not being able to develop only because of lacking money?! E.g. the inventors of the first anti-covid vaccine (BioNTech labs, later produced and sold by Pfizer) were Germans with Turkish migration background - probably not the wealthiest social class, I assume ... Einsteins should not work in coal mines ;)
I definitely appreciate the free education available a lot. I think what even makes it different from Scotland is the fact that it's free for literally everyone, even internationals. In Scotland and mostly the rest of the world as well, you pay MUCH more as an international.
Beer tasting would be amazing
I would never leave Germany because:
- For medical reasons. I need a lot of medicaments and I think they could be a lot more expensive somewhere else.
- Yep, the bread. I love walking into a bakery enjoying the wonderful smell, its heaven for me.
- Safety. Even though I dont have kids Im proud of living in a country where I can go for a walk at midnight through the city and nothing will happen to me. Of course things can happen (and they happened) but its very safe here after all
- Vacation and holidays. I think theres no other country which has the same amount of work-free days. 30 days vacation/year plus a bunch of holidays (at least in Bavaria, I guess we have the most).
- Water quality. I remember being in Tunesia or even in the US, drinking tap water is not recommended... you always have a bad taste of chlorine in it. Those people there are used to it but our stomach goes crazy and you wont have a good time... 🙂 But here in Germany you can drink tap water without having a bad time after you did it.
Greetings from Munich!
Mert, I love your scotish accent.
And trough Germany there are all kinds of beers ;) and our Bundesländer also argue within who has the best beer.
I am a lost case on this, as half German...first don't like alcohol at all and you can “hunt me with beer“ I don't like any beer. Sorry
If you're severely disabled (which is difficult to prove and you have to tell them every few years, that yes you're leg has still not grown back or something like that), you get a lot of benefits.
Every company over a certain size has to pay the government money, if they don't have a severely disabled person working there. It encourages businesses to employ them despite the benefits they get like more vacation days and an increased protection to being fired. (There is an external board, that needs to make sure, that they aren't fired for being disabled or consequences of that.)
If you're sick, your health insurance will pay. If you're sick for a very long time, other measures apply. Pregnant woman don't have to work after a certain point. They get maternity leave, that's multiple months. Unions are very common and protected. Good luck preventing one, that's illegal and the law will destroy you.
Culture, sports and aid organizations are tax-exempt or have reduced taxes, if they keep to very strict laws. So the money will reach.
The police has no reason to expect you to be armed, so they're less aggressive. Also they're significantly better trained.
I can't think of more right now, but there's more. We're a capitalist market with a social welfare government.
University is tuition free, that is correct. That does not mean that you can enter any course at any university without hinderance. Many are overflowing with students, others are very complex so there are either entrance exams or a minimum grade point average to enter (the so-called numerus clausus, or NC for short). So certain scholastic prerequisites do exist for many courses. Some universities also have maximum numbers of students per starting semester.
There is however an administration fee that lumps together fees for your ASTA (your student council for your university, representing all students), local public transportation semester tickets, and actual registration fees (gasp, yes, they do exist, its not a scam). Depending on the university and state these vary from 150 to 300 € per semester. If you go to museums and many cultural sites that requires entrance tickets there is a high chance you will get a reduced price student ticket.
Does that mean everyone has a carefree scholarship? Hell no. You still need to cover your own daily and monthly expenses like rent, food, yada-yada.
So, applause for Scotland that you have the same idea. Seems that Scotland and Germany aren't that far apart in a general mindset. Education, healthcare, employee's protection, all that seems very comparable/similar.
Oooh, don't touch off the 'best beer' discussion. That's a very local thing. With the vast selection across Europe you'd be hard pressed to even TRY all of them once; much less be able to come to a reasoned conclusion. It would be even harder to have an actual side-by-side comparison. With over 5000 in Germany alone, and a few thousand more in other contries you'd have a liver failure with even one sip of each. 😂
The time it takes to sip, swallow, and analyze each sip would mean you'd be taste testing for several days straight through. But even then that won't be conclusive because once you are finished taste testing, there will probably be another brewery somewhere.
So if you find one that you really like, stay with it if you can get it in your area.
Don't let anyone shout you down; it's your own darned taste buds that decide.
As a German, I think it's right that we have the biggest variety of beers and the oldest brewery in the world, but I am with Belgian beer which I think is the best. Try a Trappist with acl. > 10% - liquid gold. Personally the best German beer may come from Bavaria from a small brewery in the country side - there are tons of local breweries you don't find in the super market. My favorite "commercial" beer is Schneider Weiße/Schneider Aventinus.
Come to Münster Mert 🎉and you can have it all
Belgium has the best beer. Certainly in terms of Trappist beers. Of course being Belgian I would say that 😀 Having said that German Weissbier is a thing of beauty. I you go to the Bavarian Region try it wonderful. Not sure whether it is readily available in UK though.
Books and traveling costs might not be fully free in Germany but in general, yes education is free.
Belgium beer is not bad. I like most German beers ^^
Well I am born there and enjoy it.
Herforder Pils is the best beer ;-) but love polnish beer too. P1 you only can get in if you know someone. and then it is real fun. you can split thre materty-leave with the father of the child. so each parent can get 1year (70% sallery) off.
Ok I will need to try and find those beers. They sound good. Thanks for the maternity info. That is really interesting
Because you asked about the best German beer: As I said in another comment, there is no "best" beer, but there is a huge selection with significant regional differences.
An insider tip are the beers from Franconian Switzerland (which many Germans don't know either): More than 400 house breweries in a relatively small area, some with family recipes passed down for generations. Since most small breweries do without big advertising, you don't pay for it in the purchase price. So you get excellent, original local quality at a low price, and every beer in the next village actually tastes different.
Augudstiner Edelstoff is the best german beer
