Americans Try German Beer For the FIRST Time (Part 1) 

We'll give the Weihenstephaner a solid 10/10. Of course we might be biased. 🙂 Thanks a lot for tasting our Helles, really appreciate you taking the time.

1 Uhr morgens und ich schaue 3 Amerikanern zu, wie sie deutsches Bier trinken. Das Leben ist gut.

As there are approx 6000 kinds of beer in Germany, only 5997 more to go..... Have a good time! Enjoy!

it's Hefe-Weissbier. That means, there's yeast (Hefe) in it. It set down at the bottom. You always have to pour the entire can / bottle and shake up the last bit with the yeast on the bottom. You missed half of the experience by drinking it clear. Also, you're drinking export quality batches there. Paulaner Hefeweißbier is very average, export quality is below that. You really should get your hands on the real thing.

The science behind pouring a wheat beer: 1. a special wheat glass must be used 2. rinse the glass with cold water before pouring 3. hold the glass at approx. 30 to 45 degrees to the bottom 4. pour the beer slowly and carefully into the glass 5. before the bottle is empty, turn it briefly between the palms of your hands 6. let the rest of the bottle flow into the glass from above 7. enjoy

Pedro - A man of few words but such high impact 😂😂😂😂😂😂

As a German, it's funny to me, to give canned Beer 10s... now i want to see how you guys react to beer out of glas bottles or better, out of the barrel.

Guys i am from germany, watching you guys drink these beers brought a smile to my face ! many greetings from germany !!!

You did quite a good selection for this video, as you picked three totally different kinds of beers. Weihenstephaner Helles is a light (colored) beer, typically smooth in taste and quite süffig (drinkable). Paulaner Weißbier is a "white beer" or wheat beer which is brewed from different ingredients. There is two types of wheat beers, so called crystall wheat beer and yeast wheat beer and you most probably tasted the latter. This is also where the cloudy coloring of the beer comes from. Becks is a typical Northern German Pilsener beer which has a distinctive and characteristic bitterness. These three types cover the majority of beer types in Germany, although there are additional types like dark beer and smoky beer as well.

Becks is like the McDonald's of german beers.

Hallo from Germany! You guys reacted so lovely! I also adore the generational aspect. Hefeweizen is poured in a particular way: the glass is held at as much of an angle as possible to delay the formation of foam for as long as possible. Before all the beer is in the glass, the bottle or even the can is swirled back and forth to loosen the yeast from the bottom. Then pour it into the glass together with the last of the beer. Best Wishes from Kiel^^

Seeing this fine family of different heritages creating content together just warms my heart. Prost from germany!

This video put a smile to my face :) Greetings from Germany and God bless you.

I'm English and have lived and worked in Munich on several assignments. Once you've had proper Bavarian beer, it ruins you for drinking the lager offered in the bar/pub at home. You'll never have the same appreciation for your domestic beer again.

German Hefeweizen, or wheat beer, is known for its cloudy appearance due to the presence of yeast and proteins. Unlike many other beer styles that undergo filtration to remove these particles, Hefeweizen is intentionally left unfiltered. The yeast, along with proteins from the wheat malt, remains suspended in the beer, creating a hazy or cloudy look. This characteristic cloudiness is not a flaw but rather a defining feature of Hefeweizen. It contributes to the beer's unique flavor profile, imparting a refreshing and fruity taste. The yeast also adds a slight effervescence, making it a favorite among beer enthusiasts. So, in essence, the haziness of German Hefeweizen is a deliberate choice by brewers to enhance the beer's taste and mouthfeel. Becks is from the north of Germany and is known for its bitterness or tartness which is quite popular among the coastal people in the north.

As a Munich resident I know all of these beers well. Two things to consider when sampling: 1) Those are export beers so they will not taste as good as the beer brewed for German residents in Germany. The main difference is that Germany does not allow the beer made for the local market to have any preservatives in it. AS export beers require a longer shelf life, the beers made for export will have added preservatives in them. 2) A German would not pour beer into a glass that has water still in it. Get a towel and dry out those glasses before filling them with beer.

Great selection of beers. The "Helles" is a very popular type of beer in southern Germany and Austria, it's also what is usually at the Oktoberfest (and similar events) in a "Maßkrug". (A "Maßkrug" will fit two of those cans) It has a mild flavor and is therefore considered as the smallest common denominator be some. Depending on the brewery the flavor profile can vary from complex or simple. If you mix equal parts of "Helles" and Sprite (or similar) you'll get what we call a "Radler". It's great on a hot summer day. The second one is a type called "Weizen" or sometimes "Weißbier" and mostly popular in southern Germany. Its made from wheat instead of barley which gives it a very unique flavor. Unlike most other beers the yeast is not removed after brewing, which gives it that cloudy look and also contributes to the taste. On special occasion people will drink it alongside their "Weißwurstfrühstück" for breakfast. It consists of fatty, mild boiled sausages that are eaten with sweet mustard and fresh pretzels from a bakery on the side. Fun Fact: The "Weizen" ist actually the reason the "Reinheitsgebot" was invented. When it was invented in the middle ages the idea was that people shouldn't waste ht valuable wheat on beer and instead should only use the cheaper barley. So with the "Reinheitsgebot" the ingredients for beer were limited to water, yeast, barley and hops. It's not legally binding anymore, so "Weizen" can be sold as beer, but you can't its brewed according to the "Reinheitsgebot". Which is still a marketing term many brewers like to use for their other beers. The (green) "Beck's" is brewed in the style of a "Pils" or "Pilsener". From what I was told most beers in the US are "Pilsner" or brewed very similar. It's typically made with a more hops than other beers, which gives it that bitter flavor. The three beers are all from industrial size breweries. They are definitely not bad, but if you'd ask a German they would likely describe it as "nothing special". The micro brewery trend has never caught on in Germany, because we have had something similar way before that. Pretty much everywhere you are in Germany there will be a couple of small to medium sized breweries, they usually only supply supermarkets in a 10-30 mile radius. If you'd ask any German what their favorite beer is, their answer would likely be a beer from one of their local breweries. If you can, try one of these. They often have a more complex flavor and generally higher quality. The best thing is the beers from these small breweries cost about the same as the beers from the bigger brands. It's pretty much the same for Austria as well. Many small breweries with affordable, high quality beer.

it is so nice to see that small things are making people happy

Pedro is great. He's like myself when it comes to beer. Every taste is liked, and usually a 10/10 score 😂

greetings from germany, i really enjoyed the video. just some remarks: 1. good choice, you hit the three main types of beer. becks is called pils or pilsener. it is a very typical beer in the north of germany and mostly on the more bitter side. helles is typical for the southern part and on a steep uprise in consumption allover germany. those are sweeter and „süffig“ (easily drinkable). weizen or also called weißbier (white beer) is a specific type of brewing technique. it has a lot of calories and makes hungry more than the other ones so you start eating salty and fatty foods. so be aware it makes you gain some pounds… 😉 2. weizen has a very polarizing type of taste. i do not like it but people who enjoy it usually do only drink this type of beer. 3. try to get some „bock bier“. alcohol gets up to 7 or 8 % and those beers do have a very wide range of tastes. some are more citrus / peach like flavours and some taste more like dark chocolate / plums. best ones are made in a brewery in the small city of einbeck, called „einbecker“. you should definitely try to get your hands on that stuff they are just awesome. cheers and PROST! 😀

Haha I'm from Munich Germany and I had so much fun watching your video 😂 the glasses you have used are common only for Weißbier 😉 Becks is a Pils Beer and more bitter. The other one is a Helles Beer. For each we use different glasses 😅 best wishes to you and your family ✌️

Weizen is pretty much completely different from pils or lager, it uses a different kind of yeast and a different type of grain (Weizen or wheat instead of Gerste or barley) - or at least as different as the German Reinheitsgebot/purity law allows. There are a lot of different yeasts, but there are two major categories. One rises (obergärig - roughly translated: top-fermenting), one drops down to the bottom (untergärig, bottom-fermenting). Traditional beers - like Weizen or "White-Beer", as it's also called, often used obergärige Hefe (top-fermenting yeast) in the somewhat distant past, because it likes somewhat higher temperatures and didn't need to be cooled (as much). Which was a bit harder in the past, having no electrical refrigeration. For bottom fermenting beers, you had to have cool cellars. And winter, preferably. This is why "Weizen" is both a top-fermenting beer and a traditional summer drink - because you could also brew and enjoy it when it was warmer. There are some other traditional beers that were bottom fermenting, but those often had to be brewed during the winter, because it would go bad otherwise. Märzen (from März, as in the month march) had to be brewed in (or rather before) März (march), hence its name. It's the traditional Octoberfest-beer. Compared to the "Helles" (pale lager, Bavarian edition; which is also bottom-fermenting) it's a little more thicc, more malty, a little more potent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4rzen Another traditional "obergäriges Bier" or top-fermenting beer is Kölsch btw. And it also tastes a lot different as pilseners/lagers do. Of course, that all doesn't apply anymore, and you can get either type of beers whenever you like today. And of course there are regional differences. Bavaria - right in the south - being kind of the capital of "Weizen" (and Märzen, but so are some surrounding countries like Austria/Czech Republic, maybe more so today) while the north has more pilseners and stuff - but that also might be because of temperature and traditions. Btw. Can you smell banana when sniffing a Weizen? I almost always do - which seems weird. But you can actually drink your Weizen with Bananas, it's somewhat common in Germany. And it does taste pretty good. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Q5lYwaYkhOE.html The different yeasts also "eat" or convert different sugars and stuff, so a different yeast can make your beer taste quite different. It might affect the sourness, but I suspect some of the Paulaners "citrusy" comes from the type of hops they used. There are some kinds that taste a bit like citrus (other ones are bitter or tardy, some fresh, some flowery - there are lots of different types/strains). A somewhat known US strain is actually named for that: www.hopslist.com/hops/dual-purpose-hops/citra/ (though German brewers tend to call it "jack-of-all-trades, master of none")' Prost!

When you talking about "goes down easy;smooth;sweet", we in germany call it "süffig" it describes how easy and pleasant an alcoholic drink is to drink! I never tried american beer but if you gave the Bud a 5, i might not have to ;) Love the reaction! Regards from Germany

The whole way how you presented this is so heartwarming and positive, very well done! Best greetings from Switzerland.

Please Note!!! The best way to consume Becks is, to buy a bottle, open it, throw it into the toilett and buy a real German beer.

Now this is one of the coolest vids about beer I have seen so far!

I'm glad that you like German beer so much... and there are many, many varieties from over 1,500 breweries! Greetings from Germany 🍺 🇩🇪

You just get the magic of beer culture. Having great time with friends, getting tipsy and have a pleasure of drinking this amazing beers.😊

I loved your reaction to the wheat beer. Very heartwarming. I see this often with people having wheat beer for the very first time, and I guess that is because it is so different from the beer most people are used to. Also, even though most likely by accident, I think your Beer choices were pretty good. While all brands may not be the very best choice for each type of beer, you had a Pilsner, a Wheat beer, and a Helles which is a really good first step to understanding German beer culture.

Nice clip, all very likable people. And I am happy the Hefe Weizen (the second beer with unfiltered yeast) found some fans!

Weihenstephaner Helles. Brewed since 1040. America: discovered 1492... :) your video: i love your way how you did this tasting - so funny and so emotional with so much enthusiasm and happyness! 10 out of 10 for you guys! The Weizenbier (the second one) is a beer which is normally only drunk in southern Germany and primarily in Bavaria. It's a kind of Bavarian specialty.

Nice to see the whole family having a good time. And enjoying the beers. Keep it up. More videos. Precious. Cheers from Croatia.

Greetings from Upper Franconia (in the north of Bavaria). Nice to see you testing German beer. The first beer ("ein Helles") is, in my opinion, a tasty, mild beer. With the second beer ("Hefeweizen") it is important to stir up the "Hefe" that has settled at the bottom of the can (or bottle) a bit at the end. With the third beer (I suspect it is brewed in the style of a "Pils") it is actually the case that beers from the north of Germany are a bit bitter. A little tip: depending on the type of beer, there are different beer glasses that we use. - Anyway, it was very nice to see the video. Keep it up! Stay healthy! Greetings from Germany!

Helles is a type of beer that is generally softer in taste and often a little “sweeter” than other types of beer.

Prost/Cheers from Germany. Sitting in my car right in the middle of Munich @ 1 am watching you guys drinking our bavarian beer (aside from Becks)❤😂 You guys gotta try "Augustiner Hell", "Tegernseer Hell" and "Paulaner Salvator"

06:42 In Germany common ways of saying cheers is either "Prost" or "Zum Wohl" basically meaning "to your health"

Got this video randomly in my suggestions and had to watch it all the way through - so nice and wholesome, really liked you guys' reactions! Best wishes from Germany. And, of course: Prost! 😊🍺

Good to see you guys tasting german beer - and there are much more delicious brands and tastes to explore when you come over ... Keep on exploring :-)

I commend you guys for the sacrifice you make for our entertainment. It can’t be easy drinking all that beer. Thanks from Australia 🇦🇺

You mentioned the whitecaps and they are also very important to us Germans. That's why we have different glasses for different types of beer. In the video you can see a Weizenglas because Weizen foams a lot and would overflow in a small glass. The first beer was a Helles which is usually served in smaller glasses so that the head lasts longer. There are also Pilsner glasses or Kölsch glasses. I wish you and your family all the best. 🤠🍻

In Bavaria (Germany) we have a lot of City festivals, even the small towns

Hi there.., southern Bavaria in da house. My favorite is the "Paulaner Salvator". It's a so-called "Doppelbock" beer, originally brewed by Paulaner monks in the 1600's. It's an intensely hoppy beer with double the amounts of well.., everything. Hops, malt, as well as alcohol content (around 12%). The monks drank Doppelbock during Lent, which is why it's also called a “meal in a glass”. It’s a full-bodied, rich, and malty lager. Take care y'all.., sendin' good vibes y'alls way. 🤙🏻👋🏻

Becks is a Pilsener, a Pilsener has a bitterness

You had 3 different styles of German beer in your test. The first one (Weihenstephaner) was a so called "Helles", the second one (Paulaner) was a "Weizen" or "Weissbier" and then last one (Becks) was a "Pils". Depending on the area in Germany those types are more or less popular. In Munich, Bavaria or more general, in the south of Germany you mostly have Weissbier and Helles. In the northern area Pils is more popular. Since I almost only drink Helles, I can only give you a recommendation for that type. For Helles you should try to get an Augustiner Helles or Augustiner Edelstoff.

Great group. Love to see y’all enjoy our beers together 💪

how is that one of the most wholesome videos ive seen? love it, greetings from germany

I'm in Ireland and I order a crate of Berliner Kindl a couple of times a year. Nectar of the gods

Maybe another fact: In Germany there are two places, where you can study Brewing and get an Masters degreee. The most famous place is the Technical University of Munich (TUM). The campus of the Brewing-students is located north of Munich at Freising. But everyone calls it „Weihenstephan“ ;)

10/10 for Becks... absolutely heartbreaking. Honestly, most Germans wouldn't even consider Becks beer - we call it "Leichenwasser" which loosely translates to deadman's-water.

Greetings from Germany! The first two (Weinstephan and Paulaner) come from Bavaria in southern Germany and Becks comes from Bremen in northern Germany. The more southern you go, the smoother the taste gets. There's many different types of beer in Germany. You've got 3 different types ( helles, weizen and pilsener) but outside of Bavaria pilsener or pils is the most common type. Here in North Rhine-Westphalia we have a few common pilseners like Bittburger (my favourite pils), Veltins and Krombacher which are most popular. Some others are Warsteiner, Flensburger, König-Pilsener, Fiege, Feldschlösschen and Hasseröder. These are just examples but in my experience these are the most common here in NRW. Some of the i'd recommend but trying them all is definetely worth it. If you want to compare german pilseners, you probably should start with Bittburger, Veltins and Krombacher. Prost! Fun Fact: You all said they were pretty strong but here in Germany these are completely average. You can buy these at age 16 and above. If you think these are strong, try german Starkbier which trantslates to strong-beer which should be rudebeer (but i'm not certain on that one). Happy tasting!

I really love the dynamic of you guys! It"s all really genuine, it's really enjoyable. I watched a lot of your rally related videos, and I like seeing you in a different setting! You seem like the kind of guy I'd enjoy having a beer with. Cheers to you from Quebec!

Your video’s are so welcoming, so funny and open minded. You throw away all the stigma’s that are normally in our way. Try the Belgium beers, Brugse Zot, Westmalle trippel, la Chouffe or Val Diue. Greetings from Belgium!!

I never thought it would be so much fun to watch you guys trying german beer, greetings form Munich ... Prost!

Hey Guys, many greetings from Germany. With pleasure I watched that beer tasting and I am very happy about the 10 from 10 for the yeast-beer from Paulaner. Years I drank Pils-beer but suddenly, after a holiday in Bavaria I changed to yeast-beer. It' realy great. II think you made the Bavarian people proud with this tasting So, after that sympatic and natural video I will subscribe your channel to see the other stuff. Also it will be freshup my rusty English. Keep your friendship and also keep healthy.

Watching three great guys drinking great beer. Couldn't imagine something more diverting.

Prost from Germany, Like this Video a lot Lot, and even your Joy and Happiness during the Test, you picked different Beer types, we even have different Beerglasses for Different Beers , the Glasses you have is the Glass for Weizen Beer like the Paulaner Hefe Weizen, you can get Weizenbier in Clear or not clear, and if you put it into the Beerglass is better to make it slower and more vertical, that you dont have so much foam , and for the case you have a nonclear Weizen you have to shake the bottle at the end roundwise during the Process, so all the material in bottle comes out in the glass. hope you continue to bring parts of our wonderfull Culture to the world, for making it a better place, with a Prost Cheers Buddys

So glad you gave the Paulaner Hefeweizen a 10/10. I am german and this is my all time fav aswell. If you havent tried it yet I can also recommend Schwarzbier; its a really strong and extremely aromatic beer. Not for everyday but worth a try! Cheers!

Becks is a Pilsner beer, it is brewed with more hops and less malt, Becks is a beer that is also drunk in the tropics and on ships. Hops make beer last longer. It's far from the bitterest pilsner. It's a beer from the north, for rough men.

Great! So you can do your "Eurotrip" without leaving U.S. - travel in beer country by country. Germany was good choice for start - so you can continue by Czech beers, then Austrian, Belgian, Dutch, Brittish and Danish. Poland might be the next one - they started to make some interesting beers not long time ago - and even Italinas and Croats make some drinkable ones. 😉

German here (like most in the comments..): You need to know some details about the german beer ;) Usually the beer flavours differ from region to region. The "smooth" beer is often found in the south-eastern parts of Germany (Swabian and Bavaria), the farther north you go the more bitter hops is used. Thats why Becks (a very very famous beer in Germany) is more bitter than the other ones. There are many more types of german beer like Kölsch and Schwarzbier, Pils and Märzen which differ extremely in taste. I personally like the bitter northern beers more than the smooth and creamy southern ones. I really like to taste beers around the world and I have to say, the best part about being home again is: The beer is really cheap compared to literally every other part of the world. The beers you tried cost about 80ct per 0,5l and can even go cheaper if you buy a Kasten (plastic Box of 20 bottles).

You three are a really cool combination, especially for beer tastings. Keep it up!👍🏻🍻🇩🇪

Becks is the german Gas-station-cheapo-beer.

You should try "Augustiner Hell" which is basically the Standard in Bavaria, you get it everywhere (gas stations etc.) and that brewery doesn't need to make advertisements because it's THAT well-known. You also want to try Salvator which is a Starkbier with 7,5 % I think. And we have a countless army of small breweries, eg. Erdinger.

I am very happy that you enjoyed these beers!🍻 The reason for the clear difference in taste between the three beers is that they are not only three different brands, but also three completely different types of beer. The first beer is a "helles", the second beer was a "hefeweizen" and the Becks is a "pils". So the Becks was not bitter because it is brewed in the USA, but because beers of this type are always somewhat bitter. Becks comes from northern Germany and in northern Germany bitter beer is more common than in southern Germany. It even fits that one of you didn't like the Paulaner that much, because there are also people here who don't like hefeweizen that much. Keep up the good work and best regards from Bavaria or even from Ingolstadt, the home of the purity law for beer.👋🏻🍻

Actually, the Brevnov Monastery Is the oldest known brewing monastery in the Brevnov Monastery in Prague with records of brewing as early as in 993AD. The first recorded export of Czech beer took place in the 11ths century from the South Bohemian town of Budweis (Where Budvar is brewed now) to Bavaria.

😂😂😂 sooo funny. Glad you like our stuff. Greetings from Germany 😊

wood barrel > glass bottle > can beer. the difference in taste is insane. if you ever have the opportunity to try it, do it. anyways, very nice video, you guys! loved it. greetings from bavaria ♥ PROST :)

So funny and heartwarming to see people experiencing and enjoying the small things from your culture for the first time.

You need to try the beer Leffe Triple which has 8,5% or Rituel with 9%, they are Belgium Beers. Leffe dates from the year 1240. Hell it's awesome !

As a German I really enjoyed your video. BTW Paulaner would also be my first choice out of those. You should come and visit Germany and see how greatly our beer styles vary depending on the region you live. Thank you for the video :)

I'm originally from Berlin, have lived in many places in Germany and other countries (now living in the Hunsrück Hills in the western part of Germany, near former Hahn AB). A few years ago my company sent me to work in Nuremberg for a few years. Thefe I discovered Frankonian beers. The supermarkets had an incredible choice of beers. Frankonia is the region in Germany with the highest density of small breweries, practically each small town has at least one. Plus they also had a variety of Bavarian and Czech beers. I tried to taste them all while I was there.

The Belgium Chimay brand is usually available in speciality beer stores in the USA - in particular try Chimay Blue - a spectacular dark beer.

Please try a Hefeweizen poured out of a bottle with the settled Hefe from the ground! Tastes so much better! My personal favourite is strong bear also called Starkbier, Doppelbock and or Winterbock.

Some more recommendations for German beer: - "Bayreuther Hell" (the OG, but Idk if they have it in the US) - Köstritzer Schwarzbier (black beer) - König Ludwig Dunkel (dark beer with some kind of a caramel note), one of my favourites - Kulmbacher Edelherb - Lübzer Lemon (a Radler from Northern Germany, so it's beer mixed with lemon juice/ lemonade) Greetings from Germany

you need to pour weizen slow, and the foam on top is called "the flower / blume). It;s a slow pouring beer from tap or bottle, but noramlly fill iut up 1/2 to 3/4 full in the rght glass like you did, like it settle, swirl the bottle and layer it with foam. I noticed the exported german beer in germany to the U.S. is not really close to the same one's in Germany

Prost from Bavaria! It's a bit funny to see you enjoying, what for us is totally normal. But it's really nice to see that you like it. You can compare Beck's almost with the dutch Heineken. Greetings an have fun!

5% alcohol is pretty much standard in Europe. La Chouffe and Gulpener Korenwolf are some other white beers I highly recommend For something special you should check out some doubles and triples from for example Grimbergen or Karmeliet. And if you're up for something really strong, we have beers like Hertog Jan Grand Prestige and Gulpener Glatiator at 10% or Grolsch Kanon at 11.6. (I don't like those myself that much, but they are an experience to try once if you only know regular pilsner. If you wish to stick to regular pilsner though, the regular Hertog Jan is a great one.)

The first two were wheat beers. Beck's is more in the same family as many American beers. Try some British ales like Spitfire, Old Speckled Hen, Bishop's Finger, Abbot Ale, London Pride or the like of them. They should not be drunk too cold - about 8-10 degrees Celsius. If you want to look at Belgian ales, make sure you are next to a bed. They have some absolutely gorgeous beer - but the best are often 8-12 percent alcohol by volume.

In German, the R is made with the back of the tongue against the roof of the mouth with a small gap in the middle. Whereas English it’s with the tip of the tongue in a Pringle shape against the roof of the mouth. So the R comes from the back of the mouth instead of the front. Almost like an English W sound. Prost would sound more like Pwost. R is the most difficult letter in every language.

it was funny watching you guys getting drunk and slurring so quickly! If you ever come to Europe, give me a shout, and I'll take you for a few more! Prost!👍

What a lovely authentic video!

As a German this was really fun watching. Prost! 🍻

Nice job! Cheers (we say "Prost") from Munich, Bavaria! Home of the Oktoberfest and some famous breweries! Paulaner is one of them. There are Hacker Pschorr, Augustiner, Löwenbräu, Spaten, Hofbräuhaus and Giesinger! A lot of beer to taste, if you can get it. Franziskaner and Erdinger are some good wheat beers if you like that. So, best wishes from Germany! 🙋🏼‍♂️🍻

Hey Guys, im from Germany and want to tell you something. First, i like your video, youre performing good together. Becks is from North Germany, the other two from South. In the south they drink more of the "sweet" beer and in the North more of the "bitter" one like Becks. I live in West Germany, and we drink Beer that called "Kölsch". Its tasty and much similar to Beer from USA. But a little bit, but ONLY A LITTE BIT more bitter. Maybe you wanna taste some of them. My Favorite is: Reissdorf Kölsch. Best of Luck and PROST!

Weihenstephaner Keller Bier is highly recommended, one of my favourite beers. They also have some bock-beers that are nice ("goat"-beer). They are a bit stronger. The brewery Weihenstephaner is very old. To date it back as far as the year 1040 is a bit of a stretch since it has been destroyed several times an rebuilt. But it is built on a brewery that is that old. I think the last rebuild is from like the 1400s but you would have to look it up. It's old.

I love how you guys love our beer. (We do too.) By the way I didn't even know Weihenstephan makes beer, I know them for making milk.

Paulaner is pronounced POWLARNER. Glad you enjoyed the beer! As they say in Germany:- PROST ( pronounced PrOstt) - which means CHEERS!!

I like a wheat beer especially on a hot day. My personal favourite here is Hoegaarden from BE but the Bavarian ones are decent too. My absolute favourite beer though is... you can have a laugh.... Amsterdam Maximator 11.6% 🤪

I am German and I do have to say you‘ve analyzed it really well. Becks is not the best one. But the other ones are one of the best. You guys should try Augustiner Hell. That’s the Bavarian standard beer. I enjoyed watching the whole 17 minutes. Many greetings from Germany.

in Germany we say Prost to Cheers. The second one is more thicker u can also drink it with Banajuice we call it Bananenweizen

Weihenstephan university teaches brewing till today. It's a city state of the town of Freisingen(near munich). A small hill in the middle of town with an old monastary and fresh water spring. Today, the monastary got changed into a university. I learned there landscape design, but they do theach beer and wine brewing too.

as a german i confirm: You must try a cold paulaner hefe weizen in its special hefe-glass on a warm sunday afternoon with your friends or after work. its awesome ! every german knows the way to empty it in the glass to get a PERFECT foam crone ! you did it all wrong btw :D , but dont matter, its the taste that counts ;:D. if you ever come over (what ever the reason is) you just have to order a White beer (Weiß Bier) or a Hefe Weizen... and you will get one of these ! the becks-beer is a other kind of beer , its a pils-beer , the other two beers are white beers

This is so cute. You are so funny, so authentic, so energized. If you ever come to Germany, let me know! You will get the weirdest and funniest beer-tasting with barbecue ever! Cheers!

"like a cloud" and "liquid gold" 🤣 I like that! Because for me as a German, I can definitely relate, those were the exact same words in German of cause, that came out of my mouth so many times! Beer is not for getting drunk. This is a symphony. And each beer and every brand in it's own way! That is what makes the Reinheitsgebot special, because everyone has to use the same ingredients and it is so different for everyone. But no matter what you prefer, it is awesome. 😊😊

fun fact, Becks was the beer issued in ww2 to uboat crews. it was customary (and still is today) for the crew (Seamen and officers) to have a becks beer after a return from a sucessful mission

Jetzt noch nen Erdinger, Kiste Stubbis und für die Damen Verpoorten 🎉

What a great bunch of guys! I love the fact that you’re broadening your outlook.

Paulaner is OK but there are much better ones, keep experimenting 😅

Try "Zirndorfer" if you can get it at all. Its flavour profile is DEEP and RICH. Its from Bavaria too, an exceptional beer.

Im so glad you guys enjoyed the German beers :)
