    A word of warning... Lidl have reduced the strength of a number of these beers since this great comparison/review! In the past couple of weeks Perlenbacher Pils in the green glass bottles has had the abv reduced from 4.8% to 4.5% and rebranded 'Perlenbacher Pilsner' to match the cans. The price is still £1.49. It was not long ago that this lager was 99p a bottle, so a 50% increase and a lower quality product means I will no longer buy it. Also, in the past few weeks, Excelsior lager has gone down from 4% to 3.4%, price reduced slightly. I've done a taste test together and the new version is nowhere near as good. From reading the comments, there was a 3.7% version briefly, but I never saw that in my local. Galereux is now 4.6%, previously 4.8% - which happened a long time ago. I will not support breweries and supermarkets' products that do this. 😡

    I like the 'lager battle' type videos, interesting to see how they all compare. The only slight issue I have with some of Lidl/Aldi's beers is that the minimum pricing (I'm in Scotland) means they aren't that much cheaper than the 'real' beers. I do like the 'Belheather' lager we get here.

    Oh, Simon! You’ve missed one: the canned Perlenbacher. It would’ve been warranted, as, at 4.5 abv, it has a lower abv than the bottle. I’d imagine there’s a taste difference as a result. Great video, as always!

    Galereux seems to be brewed in France by Brasserie Champigneulles, a subsidiary of the German TCB Beverages. By the way, there are a lot of German breweries that put their beer in green glass bottles (Beck's, Einbecker, and Jever just to mention a few).

  • @andywood2012

    It wasn't that long ago that the Perlenbacher was only 99p a bottle, and I loved the twist off cap as its saved me some hassle finding openers when I'm away from home, but now it's £1.49!. It may still be a good beer and value for money the 50% price increase leaves a nasty after taste.

    About 5 years ago there was a brief period of around a year where the Perlenbacher was brewed in France 😆 they changed it back to Germany an put the price up from 89p to 99p per bottle. I haven't bought it in years but it sounds like it's tasting good albeit for about 30p a bottle more expensive

    Becks uses green bottles.
    Perlenbacher here in germany is in brown plastic bottles or cans. It's IMHO the worst of the supermarket own brand beers that is available here (not because of the plastic bottles, there is realy good beer in plastic bottels available here). The german Perlenbacher is brewed by Frankfurter Brauhaus. I've read somewhere that the Perlenbacher that is sold in the UK is brewed in france, so I'm curios if it's tasting better than what is sold here.

    Regarding that skunky Italian beer, it dosnt have to be the entire batch thats bad. Every green bottle that sits in a shelf exposed to light will get skunky sooner or later. If u want a green bottled beer, make sure to pick one ( or more) from a unopened 24p box, and try to store it dark till u drink it.
