So in the UK we pay three times the cost for a weaker, much worse beer and to top it off the reason for this is that most of the price goes straight to the greedy government.
The UK is a greedy self serving Nanny State....
Who then give our tax money to people who have never paid into the system
Perlenbacher uk version still beats carling campo and all the other uk brewed fake spanish toss out there but it would be nice to get the german version of perlanbacher here even if it wasnt as cheap as in germany for my money czech brewed starapromen is my go to in lidl
The duopolist political system is the executive committee of the capitalist class. People still don't seem to understand this. .. Smh
And you can bet they don't drink inferior stuff in the house of commons ...
Stone the crows! Hooray! 😂
Glad the bottle got to you all in one piece Simon. Cheers for the review!
Thanks Jon, much aprechiated :-)
I hate what the UK has done to our beers. 😥
Amen to that brother.
But It’s a German supermarket selling the Brit’s a French larger dressed up as a German larger, you could argue it’s catering to British tastes, however, it’s still a bit of a con
Our Lidl in the uk used to sell the brown bottled Perlenbacher beer. I personally prefer genuine German beers, they take immense pride in their beers.
55p for a bottle that size. It makes you mad doesn't it? The UK is getting royally shafted from all quarters. Not only in terms of quality, but pricing too.
Royally.. is actually spot on
In Germany we are blessed with low beer prices.. 🙂 Franziskaner, Krombacher, etc. cost between 0,89 - 1,19 EUR. We can get a Brewdog in ALDI for 0,89 EUR, but why should we..
Better beer and better prices.
how much is a decent bier like DAB or Hacker Pschorr for 500ml bottle?
@@thedoc1210 About the same price range... .... Max. 1,19 per bottle or can...🤣 Once bought a crate of 20 Hacker-Pschorr Hefe-Weissbier for 14,99 or 15,99 € (in the bottle with the Bügelverschluss/clip closure...🤓
I've recently rediscovered the UK Perlenbacher. Because of this channel I've become a bit obsessed with pilsner. I was drinking the best and expensive usual suspects until a few weeks ago. Maybe am a philistine but I love the UK Perlenbacher.
"The rate on beer (with a strength between 3.5 and 8.5 per cent ABV) is £21.01 per litre of alcohol in the product."
Therefore,if a beer is 5% and the bottle is 500ml, the alcohol content is 25ml or 1/40th of a litre. Ergo, the duty is 1/40th of £21.01 = 52.5pence. (plus we have 20% VAT on top of that.)
WIthout the duty, the French brewed British beer, even at 4.5%, would be less than £1.
This is before the October Budget by the new Labour Government is delivered. Beware!!!
Inevitable that beer prices will surge after the Labour Budget. Raising taxes on beer/alcohol fits in with their health police obsession,
You are absolutely spot on. The French brewed ‘German’ beer is ok. But the real deal German beer is in a different league.
The U.K. government is to blame for this. Their greedy tax on abv has resulted in the ruination of great beers.
I love Aldi & Lidl, but for beers that hit the mark I go to Eastern European supermarkets and get 4.8 > 6% beers for £6 for 4.
I spent a good part of the summer in Poland and the Baltics and their beers are brilliant. 🙂✌🏻
No way, bought a 4 pack of Perlenbacher yesterday at Lidl and just drank a can of it. Thought it was rather good so searched up a review of it on youtube just to find you had made a video about 12 hours ago. What are the odds 🤣
The UK Perlenbacher is brewed by TCB Beverages in France. They also brew Rheinbacher, Feldschlosschen and Champigneulles.
TCB Beverage brews the german Perlenbacher as well. Champigneulles, frankfurter Brauhaus, Gilde and Feldschlöschen in Dresden all belling to TCB Beverages.
Nope
We noticed this ages ago. The brown bottle (German brewed) is far superior to the green bottle (French brewed). Our go to German beers are Bitburger and Krombacher.
I'm currently on holiday near Antequera in Spain. I've been buying 12 packs of 33cl cans of perlenbacher for 4 Euros 85 cents, which works out by at £4.05. Today I decided to splash out on a 12 pack of 33cl San Miguel - the real deal, which cost me 5 euros 88 cents, which works out at a whopping £4.91p.
The real San Miguel is from the Philippines but the Spanish version is good too
it,s sad to see a german company like lidl ,not selling genuine german beer . it,s almost embarrassing . you would think, they would be proud to showcase there home nations beer . same goes for aldi . they could do better as well . the only saving grace for lidl . is they sell budweiser budvar . it,s a shame ,because both lidl and aldi could really corner the market in the uk ,when it comes to high quality german beers .
Can't believe how clueless you are. Lidl is a company that thinks about profit-maximization in competition with other supermarket chains. There are a thousand small to mid size breweries in Germany (getting fewer). Lidl wants to sell everything - from foodstuff to clothing in order to generate a profit. Beer is just another small product which they want to turn into revenues. And they want to sell beer at a maximum profit they can generate, like anything else they sell. And for a discounter to sell at a max profit is to team up with a large brewing company (e.g Krombacher) that can brew cost-effective (the larger the company the more capital it has the cheaper it can produce) and sell at a small price. Hence they don't take the best ingredients but cut corners where they can up to that point people will still throw some beers in their trollies on their way to the cashier. It's not meant to be a top notch product
@@kosmosfaber6534 is that why they sell budweiser budvar ??? because it,s a cheap beer .and i know excatly what aldi and lidl are ,i dont a need rude smartarse like you to explain it pal . jumped up little pr@ck .
@@gizmo1252000
Sick burn
You should have the Perlenbacher from Swedish Lidl on, because of the alcohol laws out there it’s about 2.8% 🤣
UK Perlenbacher was 4.8% until they've changed it last year.
Lidl used to sell Grafenwalder which was nice, then they replaced it with Perlenbacher which is pants.
Mmmm would it be possible to guess without watching the outcome of this battle🤔😂😂
This’ll be interesting. People seem to rave about the Perlenbacher but I tried it for the first time this summer and thought it was pretty dreadful and not a touch on Aldi’s Rheinbacher or Steinhauser.
Perlenbacher is the umbrella brand with many varieties and stylesnof beer using this name, just like BrewDog, Thornbridge and Fuller's have many varieties of beer
Yep. I agree. I don't touch perlenbacher. Nasty taste
thing is with Germany i only buy the store brands when there are no offers on, last Saturday in Penny Paulaner München Hell was 79 cents for 500ml, this week Aldi Nord has Warsteiner for 59 cents for 500ml
The original Perlenbacher in Lidl UK was 4.9% in a brown bottle. I remember the glory days where you went in to get 6x500ml for £5.89 only to find the XXL offer was on and you got 8 for £5.89. I dint think I have ever fully got over it...
Hi Simon got your name from 1 of the comments below, first time seen any of your video's! I also enjoy Perlenbacher, I have to agree with you with the difference, here in lidl in Ireland it used to be 4.9% till maybe 2 year's or more even! Changed to 4.5% that's the bottles and cans also! I did notice a taste difference at the start and it had got a tad sweeter! But the 330ml bottles are 4.7% and that's what i stick to now!!!
Great video. I have family in Germany so manage to stock up on the good stuff when visiting. And they reuse the bottles and crates with a deposit scheme. We are so far behind in this country.
I'm not keen at all on perlenbacher, and as long as lidl is selling a single czech brewed staropramen, I'll be buying that. I have noticed they're stocking the uk brewed staropramen in boxes of 12, though. Hopefully, it's not a sign of things to come
It takes 10-30 minuted for sunlight to cause light strike for lager in a green bottle. You do not need to cover it up with anything if you are just walking across a car park.
Why do some breweries use green bottles?? Is it cheaper or something? I don't see any reason not to use brown bottles if they are the same cost to produce.
I think they look better
@user-Wojciech yea but if the contents are tainted by light strike why bother? The skunky marajuana like flavour is vile on green glass bottles I'm with Damon I don't see the point.
Unless as stated its cheaper to produce in green bottles.
@@steffanjarvis1 I guess they sell well. It seems like a lot of people don't actually care about the taste of beer, because all the big commercial brands in the UK taste average at best, but people still buy them and pay a premium for them, looks (branding) is more important to them than taste.
@@user-Wojciech completely agree 👍
I'm guessing market research might have shown a preference for green bottles 🤷♂️
The mighty Perlenbacher ✊🏻
We also have german brewed perlenbacher in finland I think it's 5,5% and 1.49€. In addition we also have 4,5% german brewed lager called nobelaner for, I think 1.25€. Not sure if that's sold anywhere else than here. Those are the only two affordable beers brewed outside of finland, every other decently priced lager is brewed locally whether it's fosters, carlsberg or any finnish brand. And for any other exported beers you pretty much have to pay at least double than that
It’s a joke really. Our beer is brewed as cheap as possible and sold for as much as possible, whereas other countries brew their own beer to a high standard and sold at a reasonable price.
UK corporate greed. Tell me something I don't know.
Indeed in Austria the beer is less half the price and infinitely better quality around 50 cent to 2 euro per 50cl bottle depending on which you get. They also have local lagers available in Spar and other supermarkets too.
They certainly wouldn’t accept it at the price. We get our pants pulled down here.
Crazy how much more expensive lager is in the UK compared to Europe. In the CZ a Plzen Pilsner is around 80 pence. Good quality lagers that are not as widely known, can be as cheap as 40 - 50 pence.
In Spain,a Perlenbacher from Lidl will set you back 50 cents(40p.)
I don't know what light strike is but if Lidl is anything like our local supermarket they could have been sitting out in the sun all day. If the store if full they just leave the delivery out in the yard so I've always been wary of certain products.
There is a Lidl store in Edinburgh that is still selling the 4.8% Perlenbacher.
My Lidl stocks 4.8%, 4.7% and 4.5%😂
It always makes me question why we have so low standards of acceptance? Great information! well done.
hi Simon, I expected you to be on the Wiesn in Munich now? Some time ago I sent you some instructions how to get a place in the big beer tents. Greets from St. Petersburg Paul
Im currently sat carp fiahing drinking a can of UK perlenbacher, I reslly like it its one of my fav lagers tho im an ale drinker normally .
This is really interesting as I like french lagers more than German weirdly , red kronenbourg in france isna fav which might explain my liking of perlenbacher, I like the lightness of it , for deeper beers I will have an ale
Haven’t seen you for a few months , good review
With the quality of German beer, you have to wonder how and why the Carlsburg drinker can put up with such rubbish. Having attended a German Organic Beer Festival in Masham, when I did a visit to Theakston and Black Sheep breweries, I was shocked at just how wonderful their beers were.
The advent of craft beers was supposed to regain ground for keg beer in the UK, Sadly they have gone down a fruity flavoured route, which is such a shame. Like all corporations they have to come up with something new to tempt the consumer. What is wrong with producing a good quality product year after year with the same quality ingredients? Seems that replacing the ingredients with cheaper versions to cut the overhead is the norm now.
You’re talking about supermarket ‘craft’ beer here. There are plenty of amazing breweries in the UK, some of them producing lager to rival anything from Germany or Czechia
This is the kind of beverage nit picking I can relate too and find extremely important! 👍🏻
Great review,only 2 countries involved nothing British about those beers, sad state of affairs that other countries have to brew the great beers we can get in this place!
The germans are in the clover with those beers at that price. Shame we cant get some of it in uk!
Blind taste test next time :D Enjoying the comparisons :)
There’s a different ABV between UK Perlenbacher in a 500ml bottle and 330ml bottle.
Any chance you could do a taste test between the two?
Even 500ml bottle, 500ml can and 330ml bottle. Solve the question of which is better for once and for all.
Would also love to see this! 500ml bottle Vs 330ml bottle Vs 500ml can.
The cans have been my go to, but i'd be interested in your opinion
Hey Simon you have tried the German brewed Perlenbacher before if you remember the special release can ( Perlenbacher Premium Pils 4.9% 0.5l ) in a glass 0.5l stein you reviewed not too long ago. You gave that a 9 too proving your palate ain`t too shabby matey! I agree with you that the French brewed pils is pretty good but for my taste the German one is far superior as you suggest. I think Lidl are missing out as are consumers here in not shipping the German version ( can & bottle ) as I think they`d clean up in sales with people wanting & paying bottle-shop prices for imported German lagers & pils as the quality is that decent particularly when you compare it to the quality of British mainstream lagers as it`s night & day in difference.
These comparisons are very interesting
In the EU area, Finland, the UK, and Ireland levy the highest excise duties on beer. Finland levies a tax of €0.63 ($0.66) per 5% abv 330ml beer bottle, followed by the United Kingdom and Ireland at €0.37 ($0.39) per beer.
Bulgaria, Germany, Luxembourg, and Spain each levy approximately the EU’s minimum rate of €0.03 ($0.03) per beer bottle.
Tax as a percentage cost per beer bottle is significant, it's no wonder the UK can't compete. I'm sure this is only one of many other reasons though 😢...
All I can say is I hate the cardboard casing around most beer cans sold in the shops even Aldi has fallen for it because half the time you have to hold them for dear life so they don't fall out and explode
I hate the cardboard 'collar' type the Belgian beers got from lidl have had
All the testing you do, you must party like it's 1999!
Every day is a Friday round Si's gaff
Could you compare the green glass one to UK stella
I don't mind it for the price, I'll take over any of the big brand lagers. I tried it side by side with Heineken once and personally couldn't tell the difference. However for some reason it makes the soles of my feet itch, sometimes get this with certain wines as well.
If your so worried about the light strike on the green bottle would you not buy cans of Perlenbacher? Or are they no good?
Good question, I’ve been buying cans of Budvar rather than the green bottles. I might have to do a blind taste test. 🍺
I wanted to review bottle vs bottle
@realaleguide that would be great I'd be interested to see the results
Lower excise duty?
I have a feeling it's going to be the same logic as why there's not tax on wine in france - to protect their wine industry and ensure french people drink wine and become french wine ambassadors to the rest of the world.
I have often wondered why we don't do it in the uk for beer and whisky or even gin. Not like we have a rich history with any of them to protect.....
Could have chucked the premium lager in there as well that’s 4.8%
All those beers that wouldn't pass in Germany would probably be heralded as fantastic in the States. Many drinkers here like Light bodied garbage so would drink anything. Where is the cat?
This doesn't surprise me in the slightest - I've mentioned before on one of your earlier videos that Beck's export beer was suspect. Perhaps we need to start a campaign to get everyone to realise that we are fed inferior beer! Everyone seems to know it except us.
They probably thought you were stealing it hence the looks. Could you review a new beer in Morrisons keo that is brewed in Cyprus
Mate, I’ve got some craft beer for you from the states. How can I go about posting it to you?
I'd like to be optimistic that the Germans will hold out but I think it's only a matter of time before ABV and quality will be edged down, even if they stick to the Rheinheitsgebot. The fact that Hacker-Pschorr have withdrawn their bottled Oktoberfest Marzen in favour of a Helles for 2024 is worrying, whilst the Helles is great, it was nice to have one traditional Oktoberfest beer amongst the official 6 but now that's gone - unless they're still serving it in the tents perhaps.
It’s a nice beer 🍺
I thought the French brewed stuff was terrible and tasted more like a wine than a beer. Not a massive fan of French beer so not tired it since. I've always thought the Aldi herman beer was far better quality. You should of had a sniff of the green bottle I would guarantee it would of had the skunk aroma to it. Good video to show just how much is Brits are ripped off compared to other parts of the world
I see the French brewed/UK sold version has just won a best Pilsner award at the World Beer Awards, not sure if these awards are micky mouse or credible.. If it was a UK based event they may not have tried the German version..
I cant get over how cheap the beer is in Germany. One reason to emigrate.
Just a shame about the terrorism and that

Aldi Rheinbacher or Rheinbacher Weiss are the best.
I always liked the hatherwood lagers, not sure what they are like lately. Lidl and Aldo do some decent beers but you have to be discerning and selective.
I agree with you
It's no secret that German beers are great and so having it brewed in France and shipping it here is bound to lead to an inferiour beer, but it's the price that annoys me the most.
No you are wrong
Whod have thoyght voting brexit would make german and czexh beer so expensive hmm😮
I don’t think your beer is going to get affected by light strike in the 10 second walk from the store to your car!

It’s not the only thing we get that is inferior to European countries. Some Coffee’s, soups and various other products, same manufacturer but lower quality ingredients. Chocolate is another one.
Why are people jn the UK just accepting this nannh state nonsense. We arent allowed nice things anymore.
I'm shocked. Perlenbacher Pilsener is one of the worst beers you can buy in germany (watery, only tastes like hop extract, no character). Hard to believe that the french brewed is even worse.
It's hilarious how most here think it's some good crafted beer when it's bang average (probably even worse than your standard TV beers)
God I HATE green bottles !!! 😡
Courtesy of Two Bier Kier. High tax drops our ABV.
It was the previous Conservative government that brought in the tax system that taxed beer according to ABV. I think the new regs came in on 1st of August 2023.

Getting a bit bored of this channel tbh. In every video I watch it's UK-brewed beer bad European-brewed beer good. I'm not challenging the assessment, it's just the same thing over and over. I could've (well, did) predicted the outcome of this h2h before watching it.

According to Lidl's website, Perlenbacher has been voted the World best Pilsner at the World Beer awards 2024.
Apart from the fact that in Germany, even the German brewed Perlenbacher is considered crap supermarket lager, Lidl actaully seem to be suggesting it's the beer sold in the UK that's won the award (using a photo of the UK beer) and as we all know, the stuff is awful.
Something doesn't smell right.
