The Most Historic Beer In The World🌎 Schlenkerla Rauchbier
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Learn more about Bamberg and Smoke beer🍺 (the Germans call it "Rauchbier"). The city and beer belong together, a liaison which was not without consequences. The greatest of which is the Schlenkerla: the most productive, most visited and most traditional Smokebeer source in Bamberg.
➡️ It originates in the middle of the old town, directly underneath the mighty cathedral, from a half-timbered house on which the geraniums effusively glow in the summer. Anyone who did not come here and try the strong, unmistakable taste of Original Schlenkerla Smoke🔥 beer (in German: Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier) cannot claim to have been to Bamberg.
➡️ Schlenkerla has become a magic word for a long time, but many do not know where this word originated. Its roots lie within the Frankish vernacular, in which "schlenkern" is an expression for walking not straight - just like a drunken person does.
Allegedly one of the former brewers had a funny way of walking due to an accident, or maybe due to the beer, and so he was called the "Schlenkerla" - the little dangler.
The ending -la is the typical diminutive for the Frankish dialect. After a while, the residents of Bamberg also called the tavern Schlenkerla, and even though the sixth generation of brewers now taps the beer, the name has remained.
Even in the phone book and the internet you can find the brewery under the name Schlenkerla. Today it stands for the tavern, the brewery and, most importantly, for the Smokebeer.
➡️ Smokebeer from Schlenkerla is a dark, aromatic, bottom fermented beer with 13.5 percent original extract, which is equivalent to an alcohol content of 5.1 percent. No doubt: there are stronger beers, but nevertheless, one should not underestimate.
➡️ The connoisseur drinks it slowly with relish, but steadily and purposefully. He knows, that the second "Seidla" (half-liter) tastes better than the first, and the third even better than the second. He drinks during the morning pint and during the afternoon break.
He drinks it in the evenings, drinks it alone and with company, especially with company, as "Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier" makes one talkative and exuberant. It brings together the local with the stranger, as it is common in Franconia to share your table with others.

Hi, I’m Jeff Bradford. My passion for beer, wine, and spirits ignited an urge to investigate the stories behind the labels. 🍾🍻
🌏 So, in 2018, I sold everything I owned to travel the world.
My objective: to learn the secrets of brewers, winemakers, and distillers.
From Switzerland to Jalisco, I set out to determine why their process yields extraordinary results.
With each stop on the map, I reveal time-honored traditions, cultural influences, and industry practices that help you discover the soul of these incredible products.
As a former member of the US military, I learn by doing.
You will see me harvesting grapes in South Africa, pouring beer at Oktoberfest, and chopping agave in Tequila. 🍷 🥃

abdel1988 brotha thanks for the support and comment. I have so much patience for this process. Right now it’s grinding everyday and marketing who I am and what I do. It’s slow and tedious, but rewarding all at the same time. Cheers and grateful for your support. -Jeff
This episode is FABULOUS!
Fascinating story behind the product, and clearly articulated. I really enjoyed hearing and seeing in detail the stages of production and fermentation, and now I really wanna try this beer.
But first, I'm gonna watch it again.
KChocco thanks so much for your feedback and so glad you enjoyed the episode. This is definitely a one of a kind beer. You won’t try anything else like it in the world. -Jeff
Nicely produced, with a great balance to the story line and the technical side that I appreciate as a chemical engineer
Thanks.
Paul, can’t thank you enough for the comment, especially someone with your background. Myself and Yoel(videographer) still are learning every time we film an episode, but we are excited in the direction we’re going. 2019 lineup is going to be amazing. Cheers, -Jeff
Love the story, keep them coming.
Neven Vorkapic thanks so much brotha. Grateful for your support. -Jeff

I 💯💯💯💯 agree!!!
Love, love, love this beer! Thanks for sharing this story!
Such a great story and great beer. I appreciate the comment and glad you enjoyed the episode. Cheers, -Jeff
80 bottles of their beer arrived at my doorstep yesterday. I'm ready for lockdown.
Whatttttttttt???? That’s awesome and yes it seems you plan well my friend. Hahahahaha. Cheers and hopefully they last you a while, meaning more than a few weeks. Hahahah cheers, -Jeff
And may I add, that the filming and editing is superb!
I was stationed in germany with the 173rd. One day I stumbled across this place. I had a schlenkerla. Amazing. I didnt really understand what I was having at the time. One day I would like to go back to truly enjoy it.
Nice man, I was also stationed with the 173rd from 2001-2008. Was JM on jump into Iraq brotha. Engineer. Thanks for the message 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻. -Jeff
I lived in Bamberg in 2008 and frequented Schlenkerla then. Yesterday I was finally able to go back and, no surprise, it hasn't changed a bit! Always a pleasure to visit Franconia and especially Bamberg!
Couldn’t agree more with you! I’m going back in December
Probably my most favourite beer. Very good video. Thanks a lot.
Thanks so much, I really appreciate 🙏 and glad you liked the episode.
Great video!
Having an almost full case of Schlenkerla right here with me right now, it's cool to learn how the distinct taste is created and enjoy it at the same time.
So awesome to hear and glad you enjoyed the episode. -Jeff
Amazing beer that is an experience to drink.
Couldn’t agree more with you my friend. And if you can enjoy it in Bamberg, Germany…..even better. Cheers 🍻-Jeff
You improved my beer experience, make me love it more everytime I watch your videos
Thanks bro🤘🏻🤘🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Love you're channel, I subscribe few days ago, keep making videos
This made my day. Really appreciate the feedback and our stories in 2019 are going to be amazing. Cheers, -Jeff
Schlenkerla Marzen is my favorite beer in the world! Thank you for this video!
Todd Williams totally made my day brotha. Thanks you👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻This is exactly why I’m doing this. Thanks for your feedback and taking the time to comment. Cheers. -Jeff
Beer, Wine and Spirits hey man, I’m happy to do so! I don’t comment on much or often, but when I came across this video about my favorite beer (that is so under appreciated here in the US), and the production, interview, and content is so well done, I had to say something. Keep it up and cheers, or Prost if you’re drinking Schlenkerla!!
Todd Williams 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
Todd Williams I agree that Schlenkerla is under appreciated in the states. It’s because after shipping across the Atlantic and storing in a warehouse, the beer in bottles aren’t as fresh as it is vom fass. It was a revelation to me the first time that I tasted Schlenkerla at the brewpub in Bamberg. It is delicious!
das bier riecht wie ein schöner geräucherter schinken auf ner guten scheibe brot! ich find's hammer^
Just tried this beer today its so good and you can literally taste the historic taste its my new favorite beer and just one bottle is will get you feeling good
💯💯💯💯
I had their Märzen yesterday, my first time tasting Rauchbier. The smoke was overpowering at first, and gradually over the course of the pint seemed to even out.
Thanks so much for the message and i couldn’t agree with you more about drinking a pint of Rauch Bier. The smoke is Definitely predominant up front. Glad you found my video and hope it gave insight into why they make the beer this way. Cheers 🍻-Jeff
🤗 THANKS JEFF FOR SHARING AND WE HOPE TO FIND SOME HERE IN THE USA
And WE APPRECIATE YOUR HARD WORK 😓😍😍😍
@@drinkdestinations Have you tried Whitefield Old smoke porter
Awesome video I liked it much, keep the good work going on.
Thanks so much for your feedback brotha. It really means a lot. Cheers, -Jeff
Great video!!! 👏 🍻
Yeyyyyyyyyy, so glad you enjoyed it. Really means a lot to get comments like this. Thanks so much. - Jeff
Is it just me, or was that man's explanation of everything just magnificent. No sir, I don't have any questions. You said it all!
💯💯💯
@@drinkdestinations Very articulate. He speaks more fluent English than I do.
@@brianrossiter2547 hahahhahaha me too
Fantastic video . Loved it 👌🏻😊
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it! Cheers, -Jeff
Phenomenally well done video and criminally undersubscibed at 57k. Super informative and professionally done video my friend, thank you!
Thank you for the comment and I appreciate the support. I’m glad you found the channel and if there are any stories or you have any ideas about future episodes please let me know. I’m getting ready to film about beer styles, with first being Kölsch and flanders red ale. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 -Jeff
A true classic, always good
Couldn’t agree more.
Great video about one of my favourite beers, very informative, nicely filmed and edited, cheers!
7serwas7 So glad you enjoyed it. I remember 15 years ago when I was stationed there in Bamberg while in the military drinking this beer thinking, who makes this and how it was made. It cool to go back and answer those questions and share it with the world. Cheers and thanks for taking time to comment! -Jeff
Great video!
I visited Bamberg a few years ago and stayed in the inn on top of the Fassla brewpub. I love Bamberg, especially Schlenkerla rauchbier! It’s a shame that we can’t get it as fresh in the states...it’s just not the same in bottles.
Steve Strebler I was lucky enough to be stationed in Bamberg when I was in the military. I agree, i wish we could get it fresh and I also wish people would get that experience first hand and see the difference. Thanks for taking time to comment and glad you enjoyed the video. Cheers, -Jeff
Beer, Wine and Spirits Please keep your videos coming! They’re great! I ran into a group of four young US servicemen at the Volksfest in Bad Cannstatt on another trip to Germany. I was able to introduce them to some of my German friends and encouraged them to dive head first into the German culture as it appears you did. It was inspirational when I witnessed a retired US airman reunite with the kitchen crew and waitstaff at the Altstadt brewpub in Nuremberg. Franconia is wonderful!
Another very interesting story about making beer.
Joanne Roberts thanks so much. Had so much fun filming this and was like a kid meeting his favourite sports player when I met the brewer. I remember drinking this beer when I was in the army and always thinking who made this and how do they make it. I got to finally find out. -Jeff
You need to front more, bro. Such an awesome channel, such a niche follow.
Timothy Phillips I appreciate the feedback brother. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻
It’s a pleasure to see a video about that... dang I miss it. I am a German who live near Würzburg so I don’t know if you know hofbräu aswell
Thanks so much for the comment, and I use to live in Bamberg when I was stationed there in the Army. I also did an episode about Oktoberfest with Hofbrau. Love that place also. Prost -Jeff
Good old Rauchbier, I lived in Bamberg for two years and enjoyed the Schlenkerla beer.
Right on, I love Bamberg and lived there for a few years also. Can’t believe how many breweries are in one city. Cheers, -Jeff
Thank you so much Jeff, your work is so precious for those seeking the history & background of such iconic beers, please continue the good work! Cheers :)
Your welcome and thanks so much for this comment. It’s great to hear you really enjoying the content and im always striving to find the best content in the alcohol industry. Cheers, -Jeff
What a nice video!!!
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment. I appreciate it. -Jeff
This is my fav beer, and has been since I was 16. The taste is out of this world!
A one of a kind beer! I’m assuming you’re from Bavaria or near Bamberg.
@@drinkdestinationsSorry for late reply. Im actually from Norway :)
Outstanding video. I learned so much! I had an Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier this weekend in Bamberg. Thanks for sharing this video... very interesting and informative!
Go Travel Shop Eat Repeat oh man, I’m jealous now! Isn’t Bamberg an amazing city? Klosterbrau is another awesome brewery and if your still in the stop by Mahrs Brau and ask if Stephan the owner is around tell him I sent you. Cheers, -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations We will definitely be going back to Bamberg. We ate at the Hofbräu (that's where I had the Rauchbier). I'm editing the UA-cam video of today and hope to have it posted within a few hours. I hope to go back to Bamberg sometime in spring. By the way, I was really impressed with your video. As a UA-camr having that kind of access to something so interesting to see is really great. Also... I appreciate your editing! (I know how hard that is!). Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Awesome and thank you so much. It’s amazing to be able to create something from an idea or dream and challenge yourself to bring that to life. Respect to you as well and will definitely check out your channel. Keep exploring and bringing value. Cheers, -Jeff
Btw, it took me over 8 months to gain 800 subs. Don’t give up!
Gee!!!! Loved it!!!!!
Iván Sandoval thanks for the support and ❤️brotha. You ready to crush 2019? I know I am. Cheers, -Jeff
I Love the Blue Lion "Schlenkerla", i am from Frankonia...... Greetings to all Men who drink Beer 🍺
Prost brother 🍻🍻🍻
I tried their Weissbier, and even though it’s not something I was too fond of, I do respect it’s history. This was very amazing to watch
Really appreciate it and glad you enjoyed the episode. I love their Rauch but only can drink 1 and it’s enough for me. Hahahaha breakfast in a beer. Cheers and thanks for taking time to comment. -Jeff
I used to cycle to Bamberg and sit down for some schmalz, brot und Rauchbier!
Such a beautiful place and so many breweries to visit in Bamberg. Absolutely love it there and can’t wait to go back. I have a lot of great memories there as well. Cheers and thanks for sharing. -Jeff
This is hands down my favourite beer. Just gifted a bottle to a friend who had never heard of Schlenkerla (not the first person I've "preached" to :-) )
What did your friend think of it? Hahaha sounds like your the unofficial salesperson for the brewery. It’s one of the most unique beers out there with such an amazing history. Cheers and thanks for taking the time to comment. -Jeff
My favourite beer! The smoke flavour is amazing ,Greetings from Greece
Cheers brother, and glad you enjoyed the episode! -Jeff
Here I´m watching this video, drinking a lovely Schlenkerla.
Cheers and hope you like the episode! -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Cheers. I enjoyed it very much. I bought some bottles on my way home to Cologne when I came from Austria and took a break in Nürnberg. I couldn´t resist to go to Rewe to see if they hat one of my favourite beers. Lucky me I was able to take some bottles home 🙂
@@thomasmerkert hahahahhaha I’m jealous, I’m in Mexico, however I can get amazing Mezcal and tequila here 😀. Prost! -Jeff
I dont like the smoked beers, but just after watching your video, I am ordering Schlenkerla🍻
What’s up brother? I can only drink one and I get my fix Hahahahha. I love the history behind this beer. Living in Bamberg it was so cool to go on the weekend and have a pint and think they have been making this beer like this for so long. Cheers bro 🍻-Jeff
This beer is super good, yummi!
💯💯💯
I've just ordered some of this online in the UK. Cannot wait to try it.
Awesome.....Let me know how you like it! -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Here's my review mate ... you were right, it's great stuff!

I absolutely love this beer it's the best pure love ❤❤
@@marcussvensson9317 💯💯💯
I'm stationed in Stuttgart and will visit this place ASAP.
Awesome. Bamberg is a great town. I was stationed their back in 2004-2006. If you go I can point out other breweries you need to visit. Let me know. Cheers, -Jeff
i love that place and beer
Yeah, absolutely love Bamberg and will always stop in for a pint or two of their Rauchbier. Can’t do more than two hahahaha I’ve tried. -Jeff
Fell in love with that beer when I was stationed in Bamberg
When were you there bro. I was there with the 173rd back in 2005.
Beer, Wine and Spirits 1/75 1987 ested
Respect. Some good times I’ve had in Bamberg. Cheers brother 🍻🍻
I recently brewed a Märzen-style smoked beer myself, it turned out very well. I'm definitely doing that again some day.
(I didn't make my own malt though, I used Weyermann beechwood smoked malt)
How strong was the smoked flavor? Have you tried Spezial smoked beer from Bamberg? The smoke flavor is not as strong as Schlenkerla and I really enjoyed there beer. Thanks for sharing. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations It wasn't actually that strong but it was very noticeable and it was quite reminiscent of Schlenkerla. I had had the malt lying on a shelf for about 6 months before I used it so maybe it had lost some flavor over time. I used 3 kg in a 20L batch (about 66%). Next time I think I will make it 80% or so and use fresher malt.
I have not tried the Spezial, I have to put that one on the list.
@@drinkdestinations Yes Schlenkerla is stronger, so fkng strong I'm still burping smoke the next day. 😂
Great channel :)
Thanks so much for the comment and it made my day reading this. -Jeff
My wife and I feel the pain of Germany as a whole and Bamburg specifically, for the the pain this October of the Covid-19. If we could only get Schlenkeria Rauchbier here in the midwest of the USA we would lift one (or many) to the rafters for the best beer in Germany.
You can find plenty of sellers in the Midwest through the company's website and retailer locator (click the Union Jack symbol to get the English version of the site): shopfinder.schlenkerla.de/Shopfinder/http/shopfinder-schlenkerla-de/shopfinder-91356,l-en.html. I emailed them about current supplies, and Matthias wrote back directly; he connected us to a distirbutor we hadn't known about, and we ordered a nice supply for the winter!
This is my favorite beer thanks for the video.
So awesome to hear! Thanks for commenting and glad you enjoyed the episode 🙏🙏🙏🤘🏻🤘🏻
He says lagering for the wood!! God I love Germany!
Hahahahaha exactly. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I simply love that smoked bacon smell. Unfortunately, it's hard to come by in my part of the world (Romania), but I always enjoy one when I can find it .
Yeah it’s such an amazing beer. I can only drink one or two in a setting, that smoky flavor is strong. Cheers and thanks for commenting. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations For me it has a smoked chorizo, tobacco, smoked pine wood and toffee taste.
Am I the only one who gets a “bacon cheesewhiz” essenz? I truly enjoy this unique beer. It gives the feeling of you eating smoked sausage as well, and should go perfectly with a schnitzel.
I enjoy it also and love your description about the beer! -Jeff
Used to run past this place as a young dumb private. The smells were amazing.
Hahahahhaha nice I was also stationed in Bamberg with the 173rd. Cheers 🍻
That beer is so good, I hope to visit that place when this madness is finally over
Hahahaha I hear you brother. Bamberg is such a cool town and so many breweries. Make sure to also check out klosterbrau and drink their brown beer and Mahrs Brau and drink the OH Beer. Cheers
Also you need to drink the weitzen at greifenklau. It’s my hometown
@@boombl443 sehr gerne, du bist glücklich! Danke
🍻
🍻🍻🍻
the BEST beer in the world !!! :)
Can’t argue with that😀 cheers 🍻 🍻🍻
Best beer in the world 😊
💯💯💯
I bought this rachbier today by mistake 😣 I always think they taste like a saucage when i've tried them hehe.... and yep.. this one did too. Not as bad as I remembered but yeah... it is smoked haha
Hahahhahaha yeah 1-2 is about all I can handle. But definitely respect the history of this beer. Thanks for sharing and I don’t think you’ll make the mistake again hahaha. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations Hehe yeah I kinda liked it this time after a few sips, it is "interesting", but as you say, you can drink 1 and that's it haha... and better not be when you're thirsy.
I love Bamberg. Favorite city in the world
It is such an amazing place. I can’t wait to go back. It was home for me back in 2005-2008. I was stationed there in the military. Cheers and thanks for sharing. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations I was in Aco 82nd engineers and left Bamberg to Bco 9E in Schweinfurt right around when you got there
@@drinkdestinations Sir. 😉
William Knight gotcha. Yeah we were coming up from Vicenza, Italy with the 173rd. At first I didn’t want to leave Italy, but couldn’t have moved to a better city. Absolutely enjoyed my time there while I wasn’t deployed.
@@drinkdestinations i remember exactly when your patch showed up. I never had the pleasure of seeing Italy but I rocked Germany and Eastern Europe
Wow. Banburg Germany is the capital of beer in germany. I want go there and live for a few months. And travel all Europe.
joe Joe I was stationed here with the 173rd back in mid 2000s. Such an amazing place and like you said capital of beer in Germany with all the breweries. -Jeff
@@drinkdestinations there is a video of a Australian guy he makes a videos of these places and it's awsome. He channel is called the beer pilgrim. Find it and it will take you back to memory lane dude..
@@drinkdestinations I he a few friends that got attached to 173d in afganistan in 2005. I got attached to 82 airborne. That 173d patch is cool. I dig it.. eagle wings..
joe Joe awesome, I will definitely check it out. Thanks, -Jeff
Next week i sell that beer. The most northern in the world! cant wait.
That’s great news. Let me know how it sells? -Jeff
“Lagering”...he just substituted a word he didn’t know in English with the German word 😂😂😂
-> storing
it's called lagering in english too.
This youngster never heard of the best Jewish beers. Hebrew and Israel lite.
Only Indian here ??
no, i also like smoked beer
It's a great beer though definitely not the most historic beer in the world... therefor you have to get into sours
Such a great debate! I’m not talking about oldest, but most historic having great and lasting importance in beer. You talk to Schlenkerla and they will say they are making the most historic beer(which is why I used this as the title) and not the oldest. Cheers brother and look forward to continuing the conversation and learning from your finding as well. thanks so much for the comment! -Jeff
Honorable dis?
Honorable dis indeed. Good one
