      I had a glass or two of it straight from a wooden keg while I was in Munich last year. Metal lining or not, it was definitely delicious. A very balanced and tasty lager.
      It's impossible to find here in Sweden, but fortunately we can get Hofbräu, which is almost as good.

    I hate to be that guy but drinking this in Munich it’s simply incredibly more-ish. You have a sip- it’s sweet, grainy, refreshing touch of hops and then that lovely malt finish on the back end which invites you to have another sip. It’s just lovely. The bottled version is nice of course but if you get the chance to try it while in Germany you must!

    I live just opposite the brewery (btw it looks like Charlie’s Beer Factory) so this has a special place in my heart but as bottled Helles go I prefer Tegernseer (also very hyped) or Hacker Pschorr. That said, Augustiner freshly draught from a wooden cask in a beer garden is heavenly.

    Ever since I lived in Germany in 1999, out of all the beers I've ever had..this is my fav and I had a lot of Helles. They used to sell this out of beer vending machines in Munich for 5 Deutsch Marks, which was about $2.50 lol..I drank that machine dry.

    • @MrSgtau
      @MrSgtau 2 роки тому

      5 DM for a 0.5 liter bottle? That's a lot. There was a beer machine when I was a student in Freiburg back in 1991, and the bottles of Ganter Pilsner cost something like DM 1.30 in those days. The beer was considerably cheaper at the supermarket. I didn't drink much Ganter, but often picked up those 20 bottle crates of Jever Pilsner for well under DM 20.

    For all the confused non-Germans who wonder why they call their beer "hell": "Hell" and "Helles" mean something like "bright", "pale" or "fair" in German.
    Btw "Lager" is German too, it means "storehouse".

    @billguyan1913 9 місяців тому

    I think which German beer is best is subjective, they're all good. For me Lowenbrau is best, but that's because it was the first German beer I tasted after the stuff UK breweries offer, it was a revelation. Likewise, I didn't really enjoy Warsteiner with its distinctive flavour, and neutral about Krombacher, (but doubtless both very good beers). I've tried all of the cheaper supermarket German beers I've come across, all of which are decent. I like Pauliner. I know about Augustiner's reputation but have never seen it - I'd like to try it, and Spaten.

    There are many superb beer producers in Munich area. Beer from Tegernsee is very good. I tried it a few years ago. The beer from Aying is for me as good. My favorite beer in Munich is Edelstoff from Augustiner. But it is a matter of taste, no right or wrongs here. I'm not a big fan of the Octoberfest. Too much people, too much noise and too expensive. Too many tourists.

    Tried it yesterday and I'm a bit underwhelmed. Very pale, sweet aroma with almost no hops. I understand this is a Helles and not a Pilsner, but to say that it is the best German lager is an extreme statement which cannot possibly carry a lot of meaning. There are *many* Geman lagers. Unfortunately it is very difficult to find good lagers in the UK because most people like to buy the rubbish macro lagers. Specialist shops will have some German ones, but Brits have not yet realised that by far the best lagers are Czech. It's sad that we can only find Budvar and Urquell here. Can't even get other Czech beers online.

      Well if you're one of those people with horrible taste who like a lot of hops or IPAs this won't be your favourite

      @@lance-biggums I agree, but I'm not one of those people. While I had a period 10-8 years ago when I explored IPAs, I never stopped appreciating cask ale and have now moved away from IPAs. I have always appreciated the subtleties of good British bitters as well as traditional Belgian, German and Czech beers that do not necessarily have much hops.

      @@Etalex77 Traditional German and Czech Pilsners have changed dramatically over the course of the last 30 years as back then they used to be way way more hoppy and dry. Warsteiner has still retained certain notes of that flavour but in Veltins or Krombcher it's just not there anymore. They've toned down Jever and now the "extra dry" variance tastes basically like normal Jever in the 90s. I'm not sure what König tastes like nowadays as I haven't had one in ages butI guess it's changed as well.
