Pedro is honorable german now. He showed that he can open a beerbottle with everything 😄👍
I second that! Even if there is nothing else at hand you can still open the next beer with the last one´s bottle... ;)
Agree Pedro definitely got the skills 👏
Si Señor! Asi si!
yes. Pedro is definetely a candidate for a german passport! He also has the best pouring technique.
He does not speak a lot, but that only means he is thinking clever thoughts ...
It would not hurt at all if he would just speak spanish with his daughter, maybe we can learn some spanish in the process :-)
Geb ich nen TÜV-Stempel drauf. 🤣👍
Every time Ian pours a glas without foam, the entire table: "Good pour!" - the entire german viewership: "WHAT IS HE DOING? What has that beer done to him??"
"Radler" translates to "Cyclist", it's always beer with lemonade/fruit sirups and has about half to third of alcohol as a regular beer. It's a refreshing and light drink in the summer.
ooh man after a good run of mountainbike i love that stuff🤣
Radler is a shandy in the UK...🤓
@@martinkasper197 really? shandy we also have but that is beer with spirte/7up...nothing like radler with lemon
@@marcovermeer9918 Radler is a beer and sprite mix. It's lemonade, not lemon juice.
@@Psi-Storm i was not asking xD, not sure from which country you are but shandy is beer and 7-up or sprite (also called Sneeuwwitje)..radler is beer and lemonade..in this case citron (or lemon) which is very popular choice over here in the summer. not only because of the fresh taste but also because they sell it in 0 or 2 or 2.5% alcohol.
As a german, I could watch these beer reactions for hours. Which I do 🙂
Haha you improved your game a lot! And you have +10 points from europeans for measuring temperature in celsius. Keep rocking 🙂
Not just ammunition diameters ^^
Pedro's opening skills, German Approved!
Your wife is the MVP as usual for holding the camera the entire time :) I'm happy you guys enjoy our alcohol so much, pls feel encouraged to keep this going. Cheers (Prost) from Germany
She’s essential to our videos 🎉
Not many wives would keep actively cheering on their husbands to drink beer.
If she's not into beer, she might enjoy Finnish long drinks.
Wish she would just film and not talk though.
What kind of German are you?
Beer is not alcohol, it is liquid bread in a bottle (or can).
@@gustavmeyrink_2.0 Thought the description liquid bread was for Guinness 😅 at least really dark bread!
Glad you like German beer so much! The first one was "Kölsch", a kind of beer exclusively from cologne. "Kölsch" translates to cologne'ish. You are supposed to drink it from 0.2l glasses, Früh is one Kölsch brand, it means early. Many Germans living outside of cologne make fun of Kölsch, because its drank from small glasses and tastes very light.
The German purity law actually is the oldest still existing food law in the world. We manage to do a lot with these 4 ingredients, aren't we? :D
Radler isn't "woman's beer". Radler roughly translates to bicyclist. Its beer mixed with soda, like we also sometimes mix Pils with Sprite, you'll get roughly the same taste. Its nice when you go for a hike during warm summer, or if you plan to do sports. There is a German saying: "Radler ist kein Alkohol" - Radler is no alcohol.
Krombacher is the biggest privat brewery in Germany. Its from a little town called Krombach, and actually I'm from there :D. The tower on the logo exists and is a restaurant. I really enjoy to see something from my little region being drank all over the world. However, it tastes much better if its fresh from the tab. The brewery has many varieties of beer, and there is also international tourism happening to it. People come from all over the world, you pay like 20 bucks, you get to see the brewery and then you have 2 hours of free drinking with excellent service and food served aside. Brilliant experience!
In the 2010ers (maybe earlier) the German brewery's created more Radler-like beers (Radler is the German OG-Beer mix, but there was a less popular cola and beer mix around, too). The Schöfferhofer Grapefruit is a wheat beer, which are sweeter in nature, with some grapefruit soda stuff. The beer mix-stuff btw. isn't allowed to be called beer in Germany due to the purity-law. So we call the "Biermischgetränk" - Beer mix drink.
The Franziskaner is a very solid German wide sold Weißbier (White Beer), which is also an unfiltered wheat beer, the Bavarian call it white beer instead of wheat beer. I also like to drink it outside on warm summer days, when you call it a day.
Wolters is from the more northern parts of germany. Like the northern and western parts from Germany tend to drink more Pilsener, the south is more a wheat beer region. Like Warsteiner, Krombacher and Wolters both come from the western part of Germany.
DAB is a more international brewery, i think they concentrate more on export, but i could be wrong here, dont know to much about them. DAB is the "Dortmunder Aktien-Brauerei" - Dortmunds Incorporated Brewery.
Soooo, there are 1492 brewerys in germany with 8135 different beers.. Which ones come next? :D
Alter, was bist du denn für ein Experte 🤣👍🏼.
Siegerland Power!
I think for many Germans "Krombacher" is like the benchmark Pilsner. A little boring, but totally representative for a standard pilsner taste.
Wie du dich auskennst, find ich wirklich super! :D
@@MrFIFA19 leider auf Kosten meiner Leberwerte 😅 habe früher fast jeden Tag Bier getrunken, Kulturell bedingt. Das Feierabendbier. Und mich dadurch auch dafür interessiert. Ich habe inzwischen meinen Konsum überdacht, aber die Begeisterung ist trotzdem noch da, wenn auch etwas kritischer betrachtet

Tbh, that is quite fitting. We have a strong turkish community in germany. Turkey is one of the top holliday destinations for germans and we all love Döner, the best collaboration between a german and a turkish german since forever.
Hey Ian,

Stiegl Radler is Beer with Sprite or 7up. Nice for a hot day.
The Kölsch is a typical beer only brewed in the Cologne area. You drink it quickly and chilled. They are normally served in 0.2L (12cui) glasses to keep the beer fresh. When you’re out drinking and the last sip is in the glass, the bartender will automatically serve you a new one, so that you don’t run dry.
If you’re done drinking you put your beer mat on the glass so that the bartender knows you do not want an other one 😊
we learned this quickly when the gentleman refused to stop bringing more beer, the small glass is very nice tho.
Beer with Lemonade in Australia is called a Shandy and was for the ladies.
@@redwarpy cigarettes with a filter were also originally for ladies, not such a terrible thing if you get over the big man ego and simply enjoy a nice thing.
in fact you should not use sprite nor 7 up in germany you should use the lemonade brand of the local carbonated water type
@@redwarpy well here its for the sport guys on realy hot days ... or for the drivers
Kölsch has a special fermentation process. The "top fermentation" fermentation takes place at higher temperatures between 18°C and 22°C and the yeast floats to the top. Typical types of beer for top-fermented beers are ale, Kölsch and wheat beer. The advantage of top fermentation is the possibility of fermentation at room temperature. Kölsch can only be brewed in the area of the city of Cologne, Cologne=Kölsch. There are currently 30 types of Kölsch. The white and red painting on the can are the city colors of the city of Cologne. Kölsch is usually served in small glasses so that it is always fresh and cool, in a Kölschen brewery the cellar replaces the empty glass with a full one without asking, only when you put your beer mat on the glass does the waiter stop serving you.
Ahh thats why it tasts like pisswater
I just love how genuine y‘all are.
25:29 This is literally one of the ways you open a bottle like a boss! Muy bien! :D
Und nicht vergessen die leeren Dosen und Flaschen zum Pfandautomaten bringen.😏
Sorry. And don't forget to take the empty cans and bottles to the deposit machine.
You get a 0, 25 EUR deposit for the cans....🤣🤣
This is the most German comment on the internet
I‘m impressed how you get your hands on Wolters. It’s a small brewery from Braunschweig wich is the closest city with a brewery to Wolfsburg.
1) Important information (!!!): Stiegl is not a German but an Austrian beer brand from Salzburg. I personally prefer their "actual" beer to their Radler.
2) Regarding "Früh": The German "ü" (an umlaut, which by the way exists in several languages) is exactly pronounced like the French "u".
It sounds like something between the English "ee" and "oo".
If you struggle with the pronunciation of the "ü", better stick to "ee" instead of "oo"! This will be comprehended a lot better.
There is actually no equivalent of the "ü" phoneme in the English language except for at least one variety I am aware of:
This exception is the Scottish "oo". Pronounced with a Scottish accent the word "good", for instance, sounds like "gühd" for a native German speaker.
By the way, "Früh" means "early (morning)", but in this case it's also the last name of the brewer dynasty producing this beer.
3) Regarding "Schöfferhofer": The German "ö" (which also exists in a lot of languages) sounds exactly like the "e" in "her", the "i" in "first" or the "u" in "turtle".
4) Wolters is pronounced "Volters". Remember the car brand "VW" being pronounced "FauVeh (FowVay)"?
As always this was a very entertaining video. I had a lot of fun. Thank you and cheers... er... Prost! 😊
_better stick to "ee" instead of "oo"! _
Just admit, that you want to trick Ian to say "free Kölsch!" 😄
@@jk9554 😁👍
its such a joy watching your tasting videos. It feels like being in your room. It very authentic. Really love it. Please do more family videos.
I did not want to comment this time but there are two reasons i have to:
1. Pedro looks awesome in his damn nice shirt!
2. You gave the beer from my home region (wolters from the city of braunschweig) a high score.
Now i‘m a fan. 😅🎉😊
PS.: Those lemonade style beers are called „radler“ in southern germany and „alster“ in northern germany. They are indeed beer/lemonade mixtures. Also available with beer/coke (then called „diesel“).
Never understand why you Germans down there in the south dilute something so beautiful as beer with juice and lemonade. Must be the warmer climate you have😄
Wolters die alte Räuberpisse :D
@@TheAtraxz the name "Radler" is literally cyclist when translated to English. If you go on a long bike ride with the homies and want to have some beer on the way, or if its summer and 30+ degrees celsius out a nice Radler is a godsend. It's also a nice option when you're already a couple beers deep and want to take a bit of a break in between. ;)
Plus since we have an abundance of great beers that you can buy practically everywhere here in Germany I suppose we don't shy away from experimenting with mixtures like that.
Wollt‘ er‘s, oder wollt‘ er‘s nicht?
In my region we call beer with Sprite radler and beer with fanta Alster. And beer with Coke is called drecksack 😂
hahahah so much fun, guys! Prost! :) BTW pls tell Pedro he has fans worldwide :D love this kind of content :) best wishes from the Netherlands! :)
The wheat beer is top fermented, so the yeast is on top and makes the beer cloudy if unfiltered.
The wheat malt also has a higher protein content which also gives i cloudy appearance, and solid head.
Yeah. And so is Kölsch. The beer right at the beginning. It actually says so on the can "Herrlich obergärig" ("Delightfully top fermented"). And both are pretty different to "normal" beers. Kölsch is barley though, so Weizen is kind of even more different. And they also both have "special" glassware, though that's somewhat common with different beers/areas in general.
It also says so on the bottle. And here's also the traditional Kölschglas:
m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81mZgB96b6L._AC_SL1500_.jpg
EDIT: They are small, slightly more than half a "regular" sized beer (0.3 ml instead of 0.5 - or more on some occasions). You drink them fast, and traditionally, they will keep coming until you tell the waiter explicitly to stop - you can also put your paper coaster on top of your glass, same message. Conveniently, this is also where the waiter notes how many you had (like a tally), so you can pay right away.
Another EDIT: There's also quite a lot of stronger German beers. But around 5 % is pretty common. There are others, but you could go with Starkbier which is "strong beer" - often both in content and alcohol (these are "heavy" beers, also high in calories). Or Bockbier, which tends to be really strong.

What a wonderful and amazing wife, watching and encouraging her husband and family getting drunk!!!!😂
I love your family unity you’re all so beautiful and wholesome ❤
"Wolters" - thats from my hometown. This is definitely an original product from Germany, because it is only made in Braunscheig. Design is from the "small Braunschweig state coat of arms", when it was still a free state. "Nec aspera terrent" (obstacles do not frighten us). It's amazing that you got this. Even here you can only get that regionally.
Warsteiner and Krombacher is standard beer like your Miller´s in US. "It does´nt blow me away but solid" This is the taste that the manufacturer wanted to achieve. It´s for the mass taste.
❤ it's my Hometown to! I was surprised you got this...
And my Hometown. As a Braunschweiger you grow up with Wolters!
@@4play71 Klar, Feldschlößchen kann man ja nicht trinken.

So nice how the children were kept busy in the background. Obviously an intact family where the little ones are not simply kept quiet in front of the TV.
BUT: you can't compare wheat beer and Pilsner. They are worlds apart.
And then there's Früh-Kölsch. The only thing missing is Alt from Düsseldorf, or Lager or Export. Yuck... yikes. The alcohol content is irrelevant. It's all about the taste!
I forgive you for the disposable cans. In Germany that would be a "no go" ... but in the USA ... so far away ... the empty bottles would probably never make it back to the brewery to be refilled anyway.... so "disposable" is actually the better choice in this case.
This. I needed this today. So wholesome! Cheers Gentlemen (and women)!
Authentic content scratches such a unique itch right now. It's imperfect but that's part of what makes it great.
These are real people with their own tastes, they are not selling a product but just like beer.
You can hear kids and other adults in the background, the camera work is done how a normal person would do it, it's just a family table and not a film set, not everyone is mic'd up but you can still understand pretty much everything, i like how John is not afraid to give some a 4,
the girls segment where one is really trying to get past how much she dislikes the taste of beer and still give a valid review - and the other, which imo could join the boys at the table if she wasn't so camera shy, who seems like she'd rather do a gin or tequila testing.
Also you can't forget the best part: Pedros pours. Goddamn that man has some consistency and he is the one man, the one daddy, sitting at the boys table.
Quick tip for german, danish, and I'm guessing a lot of other european beers, it's good to have foam on top, around 20% of the height of the pour, try it next time! Great content Ian
Stiegl is from Austria. There was a war ...
Stiegl makes excellent beer and had it on many occasions while visiting Austria.. I've also had the pleasure of visiting their brewery in Salzburg.

I prefer Gösser Radler naturtrüb...🤔👍🤘🍻
@@martinkasper197 Me too, also the non-alcoholic Gösser Radler is great for summer days, too.
I prefer Freistädter 😂
Weiss beer (Hefenweizen) is made with wheat malt alongside the barley malts, that gives it the cloudy look. Normal lagers have only barley malts. Also it is unpasteurised, which helps with the look. Love watching your beer videos, you all are so genuine and sweet. As a craft beer brewer and Connoisseur, i would love to watch you try some craft beers like different types of IPA's (New england, west coast, imperial) and some sours (Fruited, Gose, Belgiums). Can't wait for the next instalment in the series, keep up the good work!
Every thing is perfect with your camera work and your little review 🙏
Nice Video. You should try to get Störtebeker Beer, Craftbeer from Stralsund, Germany with a lot of variations, great stuff. I could watch Pedro tasting beer the whole day😊 Such a great guy.
MOIN!
In northern Germany we call the Radler mostly Alsterwasser. The Alster is a river in Hamburg. And in the city of Hamburg there are two lakes called Inner Alster (Binnenalster) and Outer Alster (Außenalster). This lake(s) is fed by the Alster river.
So, why is the drink half made with Sprite and half made with Pilsener beer called Alsterwasser (Alsterwater) ?!
Wikipedia says:
'Pilsner is used in northern Germany and the mixture is usually called Alsterwasser, or Alster for short, named after the alleged color of the Hamburg water of the same name. The use of the term Alster is not uniform outside northern Germany. The terms Alster and Radler are often used interchangeably; sometimes Alster beer is understood to mean beer with lemonade and Radler is beer with orange lemonade, and sometimes the other way around.'
Ok, I've learned something new today - still taste good - PROST!
Greetings from northern germany ♥️
And next to the French border in the southwest they call it Panache.
Don’t have a Radler with orange lemonade (Fanta) as it tastes bitter.
Sprite AKA Zitronenlimonade/lemonade
Beer 1:1 Lemonade mixture.
Try it with Rasperry Lemonade, thats what we drink in Lübeck.
...another guy from the north. 😜
Moin, und skøl mein Bester. 💪🍻🤘
Der Norden rockt.
Beer with Coke is called drecksack where i am from :D
Greetings from a worker from the DAB (Dortmunder Actien Brewery) I´m glad you like our Beer :D
Hefeweizen, "yeast wheat"
Unless a wheat beer is filtered there is the yeast in it which makes it cloudy.
Filtered Wheast beer is usually sold under name of Kristallweizen, Crystal Wheat becaused it is clear.
Edit: I prefer Paulaner and Schöfferhofer over Franziskaner. You can get Schöfferhofer also as regular and alkohol free wheat beer.
This is what I buy most, Schöfferhofer and Paulaner alcohol free, for Paulaner there is also alcohol free version with the lemonade.
schöffer hofer has Grapefruit and what I think taste even better is Kaktusfeige, cactus fig.
Radler or Alsterwasser is a mix of lemonade and beer.
There is a boom in that in germany for the last years. Schöfferhofer was kind of an early adopter with grapefruit and cactus fig.
Now you can get theses mixes with all kind of soda, mango, rhubarb, elderberry, blood oranges.
The camerawoman is so sweet and nice, it’s so fun to watch you enjoy our German beer. You are so friendly and respectful, I really enjoy your videos. Thank you
Your favorite Beer is wheat Beer, Franziskaner is just one brewery, who brewed that Kind of beer. Erdinger, Paulaner are very common Brands for that Type of beer. You should try the Kuchlbauer wheat beer. And Take a Look at the brewery.
Most of the wheat beers are fine, avoid Erdinger tho. 😅
Gutmann Weißbier and Andechser Weißbier are the best!
Unertl Weißbier empfehle ich.
@@Oshamer auch nicht schlecht
I recommend the "Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier". By the way, from the oldest brewery in Germany :)
I knew you guys like Kölsch. I think it fits the American beer taste, it's more watery in my opinion.
Outside Cologne/Köln , nobody drinks this . We call it horses piss .
Pedro is the true German beer drinker among you, he knows how to open a beer bottle with 1000 things. Only German beer drinkers have developed the art of opening a beer bottle with anything. This is because in Germany you can drink alcohol anywhere and you don't always have a bottle opener with you.👍😁
Tip from a Dutchman, if you are in need for an object to open your bottle with then you don't have enough beer! All you need to open a beer is the next beer!
@@peterkralt2478 We do the same but Pedro definitely got the spirit!
The best Bavarian "Helles" Beers are Augustiner and Tegernseer. The best "Weißbiere" are Hopf Weißbier, Maxlrainer Schlossweiße, Simseer Strandweisse. The best ones without Alc. are Simseer and Lammsbräu. Specials are Maxlrainer Kellerbier, Tegernseer Spezial, Maxlrainer Zwickl
Radler is so light the you often drink it when you dont want to drink alcohol. The alc free version is often handed to under-agers as it tastes good, but does not get them drunk lol
There's also the alcohol free sweet Malt Beer.. i was addicted to it as a child!
@@flonkplonk1649 yeah I still sometimes drink a Flensburger Malt from time to time.
@@Megermajo I prefer Öttinger Malz, it's a treat for me, drunk sparingly, due to the sugar content
@@caligo7918 ÖTTINGER?!
@@operatorchakkoty4257 Yes, Öttinger Malz. The rest of their offerings is mediocre at best, but the Malz is my absolute favourite Malz and i tried a lot of them during my childhood.

You are served the regional beer from my home town.....You are indeed served WOLTERS PILSENER from Braunschweig over there !!
Thumbs up and keep on rocking ))
P.S.: The ratings are unanimously excellent, too 😁)
Feldschlösschen and Härke are some Brands from this region . In Hannover is Herrenhäuser . 50 Years ago , every region has its own brewery . Then some become big . Like Warsteiner, Veltins, Krombacher, Jever ,Becks and so on . To many to count .
Braunschweig💪
Just ask Google translator to speak out the ö and ü words.
The attempt sounded very funny, I enjoyed that :D it's always funny hearing people with other languages try and pronounce the German specifics on their own.
Not judging at all ^^
Well I pause quickly xD the first attempt of früh was defenetly the least correct one, follow ups were closer.
10/10 Prost tho
Krombacher pronunciation was an ez 8/10 I've heard Germans say it worse xD
Yes, you have to use your tongue like a cat does when it's about to puke.
@@PropperNaughtyGeezer I never heard that but it kinda makes sense lol.
The Franziskaner is the most drunken wheat beer in Munich. This is top notch. But you picked the "Naturtrüb" version which means "natural cloudy" or something. The clear one is actually the one we drink usually and its a bit less bitter. But still this one is a great pick. Sure Paulaner is also a brewery in Munich and compared with other regions of germany they dont differ that much. Its all in the details. If i remember correctly you also had that one in the natural cloudy version. And with wheat beer you need this tall glass that opens up a bit at the top. This actually changes the taste quite a bit. With all the other beers its not that important. And i think this is actually the only one from bavaria in your collection today, but im not 100% sure. Canned beer is a rare thing with bavarian breweries. Usually they are sold in bottles.
Bavarian wheat beers are brewed with top-fermenting yeast. In addition to barley malt, wheat malt is also used in varying proportions for the mash, often up to 70% wheat.
German standard is at least 50% wheat malt to make a German Weizen. :)
Those tasting sessions with Pedro are gold! Wat a great man he is.
Also it was fun to see the woman doing a tasting session to.
I’m watching this while drinking a German beer after a dinner, and at 15 minutes you’ve drank 2 beers each, and I’m not even halfway through my first. Take it easy boys 😂 Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷
If you find Bockbier or Dobbelbock beers from Germany they are stronger, can be up to 16%.
Most normal beers from Germany are 4,5-5,4%.
UK has a lot of good beers, Norway have good ones, Netherlands, France, Italy.
Norway would be fun since that is such small country when it comes to population.
But Hansa, Aass, Ringnes, 7 Fjell, Lysefjorden, Haandsbryggeriet, Balder, Nøisom, Lofotpils, Mack.
Lots of breweries there.
So if you can find any then that would be fun to see.
Kölsch, unlike the others is 'top fermented' so technically it's a pale ale and not a lager as such, just a malty less hoppy version of a pale ale than many are use to? Früh have an excellent Brewpub in the shadow of Cologne Cathedral, where you can sit outside and drink the beer from the cask, which comes to you continuously until you tell them to stop!.
Wheat beer is also top fermented.
Gaffel is better in my opinion
@@adamlubieniecki Füchschen and Päffgen are my favourites
Kölsch ist pisse ,sowas saufen nur lowperformer
Germany has so many different sorts of beer - even brewing techniques and the amount of hops used.
Plus other "factors".
Like most beers are made with barley - and some are made with wheat.
Like the "Franziskaner" and the "Schöfferhofer".
And - the "Stiegl" is beer mixed with lemonade.
How it is called depends on what is it is mixed with ...
Helles / Export: "Radler"
In the north - with "Pils" - it is "Alsterwasser"
And again in the south - with wheat beer - it is "Russian".
Just drink whatever tickles your tastebuds the most.
Kölsch früh😂!! Good Start You can see that you like it!! That pleases me!
u guys seem like such a lovely big family loved to drink a beer with yall😄🍻 German beer is only alowed to contain water, malt, hops and yeast because of the purity commandment, which is kinda cool because it keeps it a natural drink and craft. actually excited for the mexican rewiew, corona is pretty popular in germany too, but the other ones are kinda under the radar
Hi Ian, the letter "Ö" is pronouced like the letter "I" in sir. Don`t know why I watched 4 dudes drinking beer.😂Prost!
Always nice to see a group of friends slowly getting drunk😂 it's great to see you enjoy different beers! And for the excellent camera lady, if possible, try Liefmans Fruitesse, it's a Belgian beer with fruit like blackberries, it hardly tastes like beer, and it's pretty good. Keep up the good work 🎉
Weissbier is German Wheat beer, I personally really like Hoegaarden Witbier, Wheat beer (Belgian) they add Orange peels in the process.
Weihenstephaner do a great Weissbier (wheat beer)
29:22 the Weißbier (Weissbier on the label) tasted so differently, because it is made with wheat instead of barley. As far as I know it also contains alive yeast, which is partly the reason why it's cloudy.
In Bavaria, beer is classed as a staple food.
because of the monks, right?
@@TheTomatenfisch Nope
I find this super entertaining!
I feel like bbq, drinking beer and talking with you would be a blast!
Much love to you fellas!!
I love the beers from DAB! The DAB Dark is my favorite, but, they're all really good.
Some suggestions:
Wheat Beer (also called Weizen) has to be poured completely. For the last bit you stop pouring and kind of stir the bottle to get the yeast out of it and pour it on top.
Many people like drinking Weizen mixed 50/50 with 7Up/Lemonade, with Cola (extra points for adding a shot of cherry liqueur, so called Kirsch Goaß) or even with Banana Juice (yes Bananenweizen is a thing).
The cloudy look comes from the beer being unfiltrated and the yeast used in brewing still floating around in it. It's most common in Weizenbier/Weissbier (=wheat beers), although there's a filtrated variant called Kristallweizen (crystal wheat). Wheat beers are most common in bavaria, while further north it's mostly with barley (Pils, Kölsch)
A little beer knowledge, you first have to differentiate between top-fermented beer and bottom-fermented beer.
Top-fermented beer is more sweet and yeasty. Bottom-fermented beer is more tart and bitter. What you prefer is a question of taste and in Germany a question of the region you come from. However, if you don't drink beer often, you will probably prefer top-fermented beer because it is not as bitter.
To classify the beers you have, first the top-fermented beers:
1. Early Kölsch. Kölsch is a beer that is only brewed in the city of Cologne. It's light, sweet and tasty.
2. Franziskaner Weissbier. Weissbier is a common type of beer in Bavaria. It is fresh and flavorful. The kind of beer you drink at Oktoberfest.
The bottom-fermented beers:
1. Warsteiner, a Pilsener that is very popular in West Germany.
2. Krombacher, also a Pilsener, very similar to the Warsteiner, the Warsteiner is a little sweeter. The Krombacher is a little more bitter, but both Pilseners are not as bitter as North German Pilsner.
3. Wolters Pilsener, a beer from Lower Saxony that I honestly don't know.
4. DAB Export, a lager from Dortmund. A regional, very traditional beer.
Technically speaking, Stiegel Radler is not a beer, but a mixed drink made from, in this case, an Austrian beer and lemonade. The Schöfferhofer Grapefuit is also a mixed drink. In this case made from Grapefruit lemonade and a wheat beer, which is a top-fermented beer.
My personal favorite beer as an insider tip for you is Stauder Pils. However, this will be difficult to get in the USA.
In Swedish: "Skål!".
Hey swedish guy, Skål from Germany. :)
We really have to appreciate the measures to keep the beers to right temperature! Well done people!
The ones you categorize as "different" are made with wheat rather than barley. This makes the beer more sour and is popular in southern Germany and as a refreshing summer drink.
Using Turkish tea glasses seems like a great solution since the Belgians try to make you buy a glass for each brand and the germans use the giant mugs. Now no beer culture can claim to be discriminated against because they're all served in Turkish tea glasses.
Pouring beer without a head is a deadly sin over here. But entertaining as ever, proost guys!
When I poured with a foam head I was told that was a sin too lmao 😂
@@IWrocker A little foamhead is very much wanted when you pour a beer. a thumb wide is a good rule of thumb (no pun intended...) half beer and half foam (as you had in earlier videos) is too much. From what is visible Pedro´s foam/beer ratio is pretty much spot on, given the tiny size of the glasses.
@@IWrocker actually the foam acts as an insulator. It prevents the beer from loosing it’s carbonization to fast, thus retaining the refreshing sensation
@@SmokeyTheHeir Exactly. It makes the last few sips not taste like piss.
In the previous videos it was too much foam. You can make the foam two fingers thick. With the small glasses I will not worry too much about foam
I was so happy that your first beer was a "Früh Kölsch" 😃 It's a "protected geographical product" And it is only allowed to name it "Kölsch" if it is brewed in Cologne. It used to be said that you had to be able to see the cologne cathedral from the brewery😉 (It's a little bit more complex but this would go beyond the scope here) And the second big difference to other breweries and beers in Germany is that this beer is always served in 0.2 liter glasses called "Kölschstange" Therefore it is always fresh and never stale. And you never have to reorder a new one. The "Köbe's" (the guy who brings the beer 😄) always brings a new one when your glass is empty until the moment you put a beer mat on the glass.
I hope I didn't bore anyone, but I was so happy to see a beer from my hometown with you that I couldn't hold back.🤣🤣🤣
If anyone wants to go for a beer in Cologne, just let me know.😉😄🍻
Funny, the Wolters brewery is 40 miles from here and I can't remember that I ever drunk a beer from them.
It is also a Hofbrauhaus, "royal court brewery"
The "royal court" here was the Duke of Brunswick. (Braunschweig)
It's my regular beer, the brewery is about 3 miles from here. ^^
When it comes to beer: Support local breweries as long as it's a small company. The bigger it gets, the worst the beer gets.
@@Akabei01
No, than I should drink Hasseröder but Pilsner taste to bitter for me.
I stick to Weizen and Helles. ;)
@@helloweener2007 Wolters isn't the right choice for you then since it's on the bitter side even for a Pilsner. Weizen is fine. ;)
@@Akabei01
I'm also baptized with okerwasser, but I really don't think that Wolters tastes bitter, and I'm a woman. There are much more bitter beers in northern Germany, such as Astra and Jever.
@@Ace-Of-Spades--- True but it's still more bitter than Warsteiner, Krombacher, Bitburger, etc.
Heya! Nice to see the improvements! New glasses, learning to pour like Mr. Pedro, temperature gun, even the scoring plates are a nice touch! You guys are becoming pro worldwide beer tasters! Cheers from Romania! (Noroc! = luck) Btw, funny thing, "prost", which is the German cheers, means "dumb/simple/idiot" in Romanian. Not a Latin word, there are lots of synonyms for it, I think it's borrowed from Slavic. I drank with Germans and I always avoided saying it if they didn't. :))
I love her father, he is so cool.
The Radler was funny.
If I may I would recommend British ciders as a taste test ,they do multiple flavours such as pear , summer fruits rhubarb, but be careful they can be potent .
water is equal in wheigt and volume but if you have alcohol it all changes!
1st time seeing video, and I'm my front porch, drinking, Perlenbacker, Hefeweizen beer....I spent 2 tours in Germany and can say enjoyed my time there. Every town celebrates thir Birthday and close their streets for Clebration with Beer, Wine, Food....
Ha! Some Brits took me to a german restaurant in London in my honour. I had them order me a früh kölsch too
Pouring so there is alot of Foam is actually the right Way in Bavaria cause the Beer has time to "breath" and unfold its Aroma. So when the Foam settles you pour more until u got nice "Foamcrown" ;) Greetings from Munich
1:50 Früh Kölsch just got a boost yesterday since leverkusen won the national soccer championship early on
and Früh Kölsch is the Canned beer of choice here
Reissdorfer Kölsch if its bottled
& Gaffel Kölsch from the barrel 🤗🍻
What a cool family, looks like a great time. Going to Germany in June so now I have some beers to look out for
Here in Braunschweig is the Wolters Pilsener Brauerei
It's really funny how many of us Braunschweigers hang around here.
Awesome people. Very respectful in my opinion. Greetings from germany.
Damn Ian's beers look like apple juice. You gotta pour it a little quicker.
About beer:
Beer and beer culture in Germany is a topic that could fill entire books. Here is some information about it:
The most popular type of beer in Germany is probably Pils or Pilsener. Pils is drunk in most regions and is a light yellow, foamy beer. Well-known brands are “Krombacher”, “Warsteiner”, “Radeberger”, “Pilsener Urquell”, “KönigPilsener”. In northern Germany, people like to drink bitter Pils like “Becks”, “Jeva” or “Holsten”.
In the Rhineland, especially around Düsseldorf and the surrounding area, people like to drink “Alt Bier”. It is darker and more towards brown. Popular brands are “Diebels Alt”, “Frankenheim Alt”, "Schlösser Alt" or “Füchsen Alt” (Füchschen is a cute form of Fuchs and means fox).
Cologne is also in the Rhineland, but the people of Cologne have their own "beer" that is very popular there. It's called "Kölsch" and is light yellow with no or small foam. The name Kölsch come from the German name of Cologne (Köln). Kölsch will served in small thin glases (0,2 liter). The most german people outside of Cologne don't like Kölsch. Well-known brands are “ Früh Kölsch ” or “ Gaffel Kölsch “.
In Bavaria people like to drink the naturally cloudy “Weißbier” or “Hefeweizen”. It is usually drunk in tall 0.5 liter glasses. There are special techniques for pouring the beer so that the cloudy components from the bottle also get into the glass. Popular brands are “Erdinger Weißbier” or “Paulaner Weißbier.”
One of my favorite beers is „Potts Landbier“ from a brewery in my actual location (Münsterland) :)
Im glad for the sample glasses!! ✊👍
Well, Weissbier is made from wheat and Weizenbier is partially made from malted wheat (still contains some barley malt). And Hefeweizen means that the yeast is still in the bottle (which explains the cloudy look). My favourite is indeed Hefeweizen and you keep a sip in the bottle, swing the bottom of the bootle a bit around so the yeast comes off the bottom. And then you pour the rest into your beer in the glas, so you actually make sure you get all of the yeast into your beer. You can even add a sip of banana or cherry juice into your Hefeweizen - very popular in Germany. The lemon beer is actually Radler (translates to 'cyclist"). Radler is a mix of beer and lemonade and is also quite popular in Germany. It's called Radler because beer replenishes your electrolytes but as a cyclist you can't have a lot of alcohol when you re doing a tour. So, you drink a Radler which is refreshing and replenishes your electrolytes but you don't get drunk. :)
Stiegl is from Salzburg/Austria
Thanks for the correction 🎉
@@IWrocker Sorry if that seemed a bit...harsh. But Austrians are always very keen to point out differences between Austria and Germany. It´s our thing :D
@@izno73 Dabei seid ihr doch ethnische Deutsche :(
@@checkcommentsfirst3335 oida.
WEIZEN BEER (Wheat beer) comes in two variants, 'Hefe Weizen' (Yeast Wheat) cloudy so not heavily filtered contains yeast residue, and 'Kristal Weizen' (crystal wheat) is filtered leaving a very clear beer. Both are excellent refreshment on a hot day. I personally like the clear variant, but the cloudy type appears most commonly available.
Here in Australia I mostly get these wheat beers at Aldi at certain times of the year. Aldi have both zero alcohol and high alcohol types at various times of the year. Currently I have a number of 500mL high alcohol ones, 2 standard drinks per 500mL due to alcohol content. Also still have 6 bottles of zero alcohol, as we enter autumn here. No more hot days left, but need to consume it while still not too old. As made to German purity laws, only 4 basic ingredients, no preservatives or chemical stabilisers added, should be consumed I reasonable time, not stored for months to years it spoils, drink only good fresh beers.
love your european beer episodes!!
Greetings from the Rhine-Area here between Dusseldorf & Cologne in Germany! 😀
Actually for Kölsch like Früh it‘s called to be the most popular beer that also Ladies like and furthermore by the annual beer-consumption, Cologne is called the city with the largest annual consumption as also Ladies love Kölsch, untypical to other beer-styles.
Kind regards & cheers!😉

Hey u can find thoose kind of glases everywhere in germany,
in every turkish teehouse xD
"Kölsch" type beer is strictly regulated in regards to the brewing process and ingredients, and the term Kölsch itself also has a protected geographical indication within the European Union. Only breweries which abide by the official rules, and which are located no more than 50km from the German city Köln (English name: Cologne) may sell their product as Kölsch. This is of course similar to how Champagne is regulated. "Früh" is a family-owned company (5th generation) which has been brewing Kölsch since 1904. If you ever journey to Cologne, I can recommend visiting the Früh Brewery near the Kölner Dom cathedral.
26:04 Yesss that is munks reciept beer . " Live" beer. it is like home made beer less malt or even 0% malt .
Alcohol by volume (ABV) is always higher than alcohol by weight (ABW). For example, a 3.2% ABW beer is about 4% ABV.
To convert ABV to ABW, you can use the formula ABV x 0.8 = ABW. You can also convert ABW to ABV by dividing by 0.795.
In some parts of the world and some areas of the U.S., ABW is used. However, if you see an unlabeled percentage on a U.S. beverage, it's safe to assume it's the beverage's ABV. Definition by Google
huge assortmnt ;D good luck guys
What a lovely part 2. Thanks for sharing, Ian...The ladies inbetween was funny...btw, i love the littlens going rogue in the background❤🍻😂❤
In Finland " Kippis "
Germany has around 5000 beer brands and
1300 breweries. Sweden, where I live, has 4,500 beer brands to choose from.
Budweiser is an American classic that has adopted lager brewing techniques from Europe.
The beer is said to be an attempt at a copy of the beer Budejovicky Budvar which is called Budweiser.
Wikipedia: The Budějovický Budvar brewery was founded in 1895. In 2002 it made a comeback on the North American market after a 62-year absence.
A long legal battle over the rights to the Budweiser brand with the American brewing giant Anheuser-Busch resulted in not being allowed to use the name Budweiser in the North American market. In the USA and Canada it is therefore called Czechvar.
5am video drop! Gotta love it haha
I always find it funny how you describe a beer with a big head as a bad pour. It really makes you realise how different the ideals of the USA and Europe/Germany are. In Germany at least, a good head is important, especially for wheat beer, as it prevents the carbon dioxide (the natural carbonation of the beer) and flavours from escaping quickly; it is a kind of protection against the beer quickly becoming stale.
