My first beer in Germany // weird experience 

A good pils takes 7 minutes 5 to make and 2 to drink

The wine glas is a Biertulpe, a beer tulip. It is a typical glas for pilsner.

That's how i felt in a coffee shop in Amsterdam 🥴🤭

As a foreigner in Germany it should be enough to say: "A beer". That should be enough to get the local brew. Perhaps add some "Bitte", but Germans also understand "Please". I think you thought to much.

😂👍🏾 Prost, Cheers and Skål! 🍻

Your pronounciation is already really Good ☺️

Ordering a "beer" is the safest way in Germany to avoid attracting negative attention if you don't know the specific regional differences. Examples: In Bavaria you should not order a "Pils", instead a "Maß" (1 Liter) or a "Halbe" (0,5 Liter). "Weißbier" is also common. In Cologne you should ask for "Kölsch, in Düsseldorf for "Alt". You better not mix up both! :-) Anyway, now let's hope for a quick re-opening of the beer-gardens!

Hi Jimmy. Another Fakt that's very interessting ist one thing we've had in the middle age. It's called the "Kerbholz". One qoute we you even in this time is: "Etwas auf dem Kerbholz haben". This means that you owe something. They've had no beer lid where they can mark how many beers you've drunken. So the host of a bar and the custumer have gotten a similar peace of wood. And if you've order a beer they fold the two peaces together and the host has made a score over the two peaces. so no one of both can cheat because only the scores that goes over the two peaces where counted.

Actually the foam on top of the beer is very important for the good flavor of the beer. I'm a bit surprised that this kind of thing is not normal in other countries to have. :P

What you describe sounds like the 'Kölsch' experience. Which is that you get a 2dcl glass of beer, it is marked on the 'Bierdeckel' and when you finished the glass, you will get another one without ordering, which is again marked on the Bierdeckel. This goes on until you put the Bierdeckel on top of the glas, which means I am done and I like to pay. Then the marks are counted and you pay.

Jever Bier ist zwar hell aber schön bitter mein Freund,das bekommst du in jeden Supermarkt. Probier mal😊

when I had my first beer in england I was really surprised, because I missed the foam 😂

So, I began watching and wondered how you managed to be in Germany long enough to get to the beach before having your first beer. Mine was the moment I got off the airplane in the Frankfurt airport LOL! Any way, it turned out to be a cute story and you clearly really enjoyed it! Not everyone is the alcoholic that i am LMAO (self burn)

it dawns on me he ordered a "Stein" ... let's watch this ... YAY! he didn't! 💃🏻

You need to make a video on ordering beer all around the world.

Just imagine what it would have been like in Düsseldorf's " Altstadt ", especially in " Ürige "! first of all: you can leave out the "a". second: say " ALT " like " HALT " without the H third: don't be surprised if the beer flow doesn't stop before you put the beer lid / coaster on the glass. fourth: Do not feel attacked if the "Köbes" is unfriendly ...... THAT MUST BE SO. fifth: there are three drinks: beer, water, apple juice, nothing more little tip: in the " Ürige " in the past, the lines were made on the wall behind you, because people have always tried to make the coaster disappear

Attention! If you order a "Dunkelbier" (dark beer) you will get a sweet malt beer without alcohol in most regions, a famous brand is Vitamalz for example. In Bavaria you can also get "dunkles Weizen" (dark wheat beer) with alcohol. Like mkmm60 wrote, the easiest way is just to order a beer and get the local brew. In the region where I live (North Rhine Westfalia), we drink Pils. To tap an original Pils lasts 7 minutes, just like this video. You tap into the glass until it´s full, then you let the foam shrink, tap again and so on, until the foam is over the "Eichstrich" (calibration mark), a line on the glass that marks the capacity of the glass, e. g. 0.2 , 0.3 , 0.5 or 1.0 Liter. Sweeping away the foam is not allowed in Germany for hygienic issues. The glass you mentioned looking like a wine glass is called Tulpe (tulip), a typical Pils glass. You can also order a "Durch" when you are in a hurry oder are very thursty. That´s a Pils tapped in one go, normally in a 0,2 Liter glass.

this little kneipe :D:D:D:D
