One beer to open, one beer to close. That's all you need to know to start your journey in the wide and mysterious world of Beer Brackets.
Joe and Alessandro met over a Guinness in a pub while on solo trips in Ireland in 2014. While they've always lived in different countries, they kept a friendship meeting annually to explore different cities and taste the local brews. While isolating during covid, they began having virtual meetups to open and close their beer brackets. Presenting different beers they found locally that they couldn't wait to tell the other about. Then they thought...why not share our beer journey with anyone else who'd like to have a beer with us.
Join Joe and Ale as they embark on their beer brackets journey. How will a Canadian and an Italian agree on different beers and where will the brackets take us?
Opening and closing the beer brackets is a way to remind ourselves that it's not only about drinking beer. It's about what happens before, in between and after.
I’ve been hoping for y’all to review this one ever since you reviewed their Hefeweizen! This is genuinely probably my favorite beer of all time! I love it so much! Cheers, guys! 🍻
It was an honor to try this beer for the first time with you guys. I saw this video a while ago but I made sure to buy one before I watched this review. Absolutely phenomenal beer. Probably my favorite import I can find here in Victoria now. I can't believe I missed the Delirium cafe when I went to Brussels last summer, but given the fact I was able to try so many amazing high quality beers that are available everywhere in Belgium I can't be too upset. Belgium is truly a beer enthusiasts paradise, feels like going to Valhalla.
This comment made our day, thanks so much for taking the time to watch and hang out with us in the pub! I’m sure you tried enough beers to make up for missing the cafe. It truly is the beer enthusiasts Valhalla, that’s perfectly put 😂
Those Beers where Great till Beer Globalists Fked them all up I noticed Heineken taste like Sheeet now last year after drinking it for 45 years maybe Bill Gates had something to do with it after buying 1 million Shares of Heineken why does that A hola Geek need to buy Shares im Beer. And Budweiser Fk Up Stella Artois because not brewed in Belgium anymore brewed in a Budweiser Plant just like Becks Bud FKed that beer up too . These Globalist A holes are Fking up everything Thanks Know it all Globalist 🖕
Great review! New subscriber. I really like your format and I'm looking forward to seeing more reviews. Fun and informative. I have had a lot of Heinekens and Yuenglings over the years. Both great, but in a head-to-head, it is Yuengling, so much more balanced and flavorful. Cheers! 🍺🍻
We actually tried it together off camera recently. We really liked it! We were expecting something darker… almost like a Negra Modelo. But very tastey.
Yuengling is the best "beer" in the US. What I mean by that is most Americans see beer as the "lagers" of Budweiser, Miller, PBR, Coors, and I would lump some of the mass produced imports in there too. That really is all we had available for decades. Yuengling is that style done very well. I think its critical for showing people what beer can be. That beer can have flavor, texture, etc. You give someone a Yuengling and their faith in beer just changes. Then, they can branch out to different styles. Excellent show gentlemen! Id love too see Yuengling vs Great Lakes Dortmunder Gold
Could not agree more! We always say the same thing about Yuengling - we ranted about this in our review of it. It’s one of the best easily accessible “macro” lager you can get in the U.S. in our opinion. And a great gateway beer for anyone coming from beers like the ones you mentioned and curious to try things with more flavour and character. Thanks for watching!! Cheers 🍻
The skunkiness can definitely happen with Modelo, no doubt. Getting a bottle from a closed 12 or 24 pack is ideal if possible. Although we didn’t mind it in this Vs. Battle
Would love if you guys could try Japanese beer such as asahi vs sopporo both very good in my opinion and give a refreshing taste. Hope you're both doing well fellow brothers 🧑🦲🍻 ( bald emoji is the closest thing to a monk)
Andrew...it's so funny you say this. We just had a filming session last night where we did Sapporo and Asahi reviews as well as a vs. battle. So that'll be coming on the channel in the next few weeks! We're both doing super well, thanks for asking. Hope you and your fam are good too. Thanks for watching and cheers! 🍻
@@BeerBrackets funny how cosmically a attraction to similar beer styles seem to line up for me when it comes to this channel definitely the work of the monks !
I love Busch Light! It's my go to camping and hot weather beer. Goes down so smooth and I can have more than a few! I believe you are smelling the corn 🌽🍻
IMO Dos Equis is probably the poorest of the big Mexican lager brands quality-wise. Not to say it's bad, but very unremarkable. Much prefer a Pacifico like our friend Hector said here or a Modelo.
You are comparing apples and oranges here. A dark lager is always going to have a maltier, fuller taste than a pale lager. It doesn't make it one bit better than a classic American/German pale like PBR, it just makes it a different style.
@@BeerBrackets the head was definitely a lot better and I was able to get some more nutty undertones in the can version but somehow it tasted a little bit off I’m not sure how to explain it. It could be that the bottles I have in my fridge are near freezing. But overall I started just enjoying the bottles straight out the bottle and I pour the cans now instead
siiii amigos! I agree, Dos Equis is not close to the best cerveza you can find out there. For me it's always pacifico or modelo. you guys need to review pacifico!
Here's a reason to keep on living....sitting with Joe and Allexandro at a table in a small German town platz at about 5.30pm on a Summer night and a kellner comes out with a tray of foaming Weinstephaner Vituses vom fass....just imagining it makes me reach for a(nother) beer....
