6:38 until you take your first sip of the beer is way too long. The beer was almost warm at that point. It's not a bad video but it was about 20 minutes too long. Gerst amber ale is a really good summer time beer.
@@DontDrinkThisBeer East Coast! I'd love to send a can next time I get my hand on a case. Let me know if you have a private mailbox or PO box and I'll see if I can send it!
Do you take requests? If so can you do a review of Paulaner? It’s one of my favorite beers. Just stumbled across your channel and I am going to subscribe. Keep up the good reviews.
WARUM die titel? HORRIBLE TITLE! Frankly, discriminatory at best!! What were you thinking? HELL oder HELLES ALSO means Bright or Pale...by the way and, being German-American, I didn't need to look that up!
My favorite for almost forty years. It came back on the shelves about ten years ago but disappeared again about five years ago in Tx. I'd be VERY interested in where to buy McE SA's today.
Hello Woody? Just found your channel and l love it! Had to subscribe. Been to the Oktoberfest once in Munich and was lucky enough to try Hacker Pschorr and Hofbrau they were both awesome! Had Spaten and Pauler here and they were export, the other 2 Lowenbrau and Augustinerbrau are not available here in the states. Love you Chanel looking forward to more content. Thank You!
Oh yeah. Tons of it. It gets you so high, you can't come down. Its got so much hemp, you can make a rope with it. No. Its just a lager. Red Lager. That's all.
Absolutely. Its better than Narragansett and a bit under Yuengling, so I know what you mean. It does have a few qualities that make it above the "standard" US brews, but I would agree -- So-so.
@@DontDrinkThisBeerSullivans red which is the actual Smithwick’s beer. Is far better and my favourite personally I feel that Irish red ales are part of the mild ale family and roasted barley is wholly unsuitable. The colour is a load of hogwash some like Dungarvan copper coast are of a lighter rust red to Sullivans red ruby brown. Chocolate malts are used in some Irish versions. Smithwicks until 10 years ago was brewed in Kilkenny.
@@DontDrinkThisBeer I visited Poland 15 years ago and mostly drank Zyviec and Tyskie. I think I preferred Zyviec. I then moved to Slovakia the following year and the standard (mostly Czech) pilsners you buy in pubs are on a different planet to the lager sold in the UK (they've almost trebled in price, however!). I usually drink Gambrinus or Krusovice, or Pilsner Urquell when it's available on tap and unpasteurised.
@@beatonthedonis from what I know (which is very little), Urquell is the standard in America for Czech Pilseners. Now, that said, I'm seriously thinking to explore more Pilseners from other countries. We in the US simply cannot make that level of Pilsener without a LOT of trouble. We just don't have the hops or the water. We can come close to the malt, but the hops and water... not much.
@@DontDrinkThisBeer If you ever visit the Czech Republic or Slovakia, try to find a pub with unpasteurised beer tanks. I usually find standard Urquell too bitter for my tastes, but the unpasteurised draft version has great balance.
You chose eurolager from the big brew company, so it couldn't work. If you have something from Żywiec, maybe Porter. Look for Grodziskie, because it's on top now.
Grodziskie. I sure will! and I love porter. It all depends on what I can get here in my area. I'm actually lucky I found that. I do have a Total Wine and the Greenville Beer Exchange that might be able to find it. Thanks!
@@DontDrinkThisBeer he says he drank it and thought it wasn't bad. Was wondering what triggered you to advise people against the consumption of said beer.
@@jackdarby6080 Still don't understand but the title is a reverse statement. I actually _want_ you to drink this beer. Unless of course, its something that I say really don't bother with. Its also in the description.
This great beer is available in most shops in Scotland. I’ve never seen it in a bar, but I buy this regularly.lovely stuff! It was even better a few years ago, but something changed in the recipe.
@@Sammyb-x1m Got another one I can review. Something I can get in the states. my next one is McEwans Scotch Ale. I had reviewed Paulaner Salvator (to close out the -ator styles) and Zywiec from Poland, but the audio was corrupted so I had to do the Czechvar and McEwans. I get my beer from a local vendor here in a six pack so I always have something to review.
Ohhhh I'm sure there are. I will see if I can find any references. I think I may have had some before, just don't recall. I think from what I get off Google Zywiek is highly rated. Here is a link to a list of good Polish beers: homebrewacademy.com/best-polish-beers/
You have to figure, the Pols and Czechs along with anyone in eastern Germany share a common talent for creating beer. So its not like you have a culture that tries to make a beer and falls flat. These people in Central Europe know their stuff when it comes to beer.
Thank you VERY much. I never knew so much about this beer and am glad I was able to learn what a doppel bock really is and why. I have another out as my monthly focus is on Oktoberfest beers. Hacker-Pschorr, HB, Spaten and Paulaner are coming up. Then I have Sierra Nevada and Founders as an American offering. So I will have one for the rest of October.
Looking forward to the rest of your Oktoberfest reviews. I'm a huge fan of Oktoberfest beers. If you can get your hands on the Oktoberfest collaboration of Jack's Abby and Weihenstephan Fest of Both Worlds, grab it. Best Oktoberfest/Festbier I ever tasted. Cheers!
@@JOHN-xi5ce Oooooo good ones. Currently I have Hofbrau (HB), Spaten and Paulaner next, then Sierra Nevada and Founders. I am sure I can find Weihenstephan here locally but not sure about Jack's Abby. That might be a local brew. Plus I might be running out of time here. I need to get these fest beers done before Nov 1. The only two places I might be able to find them are in/near Asheville NC and that's not too far away. I might have someone come visit from Charleston and we might bewery hop and I might do a series of shorts based on those.
I lived in the US for 35 years. This is the best Dutch beer available there. iIt is considered the best mass produced beer in the Netherlands ( I am a native) and has a very big following of fanatics. It is brewed in the eastern part. Heineken which is also Dutch is produced in one Dutch factory especially for the US. It is sweeter and has less alcohol. Grolsch is more in the style of a Kolsch beer ( beer from Cologne) Here you buy a case of 24 bottles for 12 euro's.
@@hikingwChris glad to and I will be having more international and more popular beers coming up. Local beers are great for the local market, but seriously, people want to see reviews of greater beers that they recognize.
