I'm personally not a beer fan, but 3-4 beers?😶 In Germany there are about 1500 breweries that produce 5000-6000 beers. And in other European countries it looks similar.😅
The 3-4 beers comment got me, as a German, as well! :) I live nearby a rather small town ... man, we already got 3 different breweries/brands in our town. One of them has really high quality beer! It won the gold award for "Best European Style Beer", gold award for "Best German Style Beer" and won gold at the "World Beer Cup". And this might shock you the most: a bottle of beer (half liter size) costs less than $1 ... :)
I'd say that even the normal portuguese beers (Sagres and Super Bock) are better than 80% of US beers. Now if we dive into all the craft beers that have been popping up in the last 20 years, then it'll be a complete wipe-out. 😄
Irish here. We probably have more craft beers then merica. Micro brewery's everywhere. I actually hate them tho, they all taste like grapefruit to me. And Europe only having a few craft beers 😂😂 wtf have you ever looked up how many beers are made in Belgium 😂
For info there are approx 2200 breweries in the uk alone so craft beers are definetely not just an american thing, edit 1700 of those are classed as microbreweries who produce craft beers
3-4? omg 😂 We have far fewer such big chains and monopolists in Europe, especially when it comes to food and drinks. Drink and eat what the locals do, always!
Brian, noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. There are too many to even mention, plus many many newer beers since. Great reaction again, thanks and love from Ireland
Three or four good beers in Europe? I have been to a number of different countries here, and have seen the incredible numbers of beers these countries have..... Belgium? Few thousend..... Germany? Maybe even more then Belgium..... Check Republic? A lot.... really a lot.... Even Slovenia...... And trust me, The Netherlands, Denmark, UK, Ireland..... Maybe not Belgiums or Gemanys numbers, but a whole lot as well....
The UK actually has the highest number of breweries in europe at 2426 compared to 1512 in germany and just 408 in belgium (figures from 2021) it became quite a fad to set up your own micro brewery and then sell your wares online to bearded avocado eating millenials who loved the idea of rejecting global monopolies
A lot of people in Ireland drink Rockshore, a lager made by Guinness. I have some in front of me and it's not bad at all. When I'm out of the house, I drink the original Guinness. Harp and Carlings are also popular lagers here.
I live near two British airbases leased to the USAF. The new American service personnel that come to our pubs can't handle the strength of UK beer and our larger measures than the US has. We'll drink 8 pints and they fade out by 5 pints. US beer is like drinking tap water to us Brits.
Irish guy here and Guiness is by far the most popular drink in Ireland. Next I would say is Heiniken if your a larger drinker, followed by Smithwicks beer and Murphys stout. Plenty of craft beers also. I also find the best Guiness is in Ireland and a number of pubs are known for a good pint of the blackstuff, never tastes the same when abroad.
You should get over to Belgium, Germany or the Czech Republic. I bet you can find cafes with more than 100 different beers in each of these countries and probably all better than the standard beers shown in this video. Even here in the Netherlands we've got these cafes, although our own beers are OK at best in my opinion.
Absolutely. Loners are watching so many videos from Europe, I wonder have they ever been here? Anyway, don't come to Finland if you are interested on beers or anything alcohol *culture* related.
In Ireland you land into a pub and ask for a pint - no need for brand name here...then the beautiful drop arrives, wait time is about 3 minutes...tis never rushed..Guinness is just the business..
I got to go to Ireland a few times, and I can say for sure the beer is Ireland is better. There is nothing like having a pint with dinner and talking with the locals. Guinness is a favorite sit down beer for me, but with a meal I liked Harp Beer. It seemed to be popular in the Pubs too. And as for pubs - They are not a bunch of drunks like Americans portray, but they are a lunch or dinner spot as well. Ireland (South) is rich in history and friendly people everywhere. In the North, you had to be cautious of your surroundings and it was best to stay in at night (2006). That was mainly in Derry though, Belfast was very friendly. Once the young hooligans as they say understood I was American and not English, they wanted to sit and have a pint and hear about our country. Nice guys, just a bit of tension there if you don't be careful. But that was not that long after peace came to the region, I hope things are even better now! The beer in Ireland is different than what is exported, and it makes a HUGE difference. Maybe it is a small part of Ireland running through my veins 🍀
I'm a dutch beer lover, and even the cheaper ones drink away really good, though specialty beers are very tasty as well(and expensive) and i get some when i get the chance. German and belgium beers are really good though, most of them taste SO good.
If you're a fan of Pilsner beers ("Lager), you can't do better than beer from Germany or The Czech Republic - including Budweiser Budvar. That's the proper Budweiser from Prague. But the "Bud" brewed in The UK is stronger at 5% than it's American equivalent. All German beer is good but Paulaner, Warsteiner, Erdinger are particularly tasty. My favourite is beer from Belgium, you'll never tire of the variety. Guiness make a 9% stout that will put hairs on your arse. Originally made for the journey from Ireland to Nigeria it can now be found all over. Finally, to be a bit patriotic, British Ale is the best of it's type. Marstons Pedigree, Orkney Skullcracker, Theakstons Old Peculiar and anything from Fullers Brewery in London. The beers I've just named, I've seen them all at some point in my journey's across the US., so you might find them in a good bar. Just one thing my Colonial friends, always remember, if your beer comes out of a can it's probably piss and to be avoided.
Where ever i go whether in my home country or any where else i drink the local beers,they tend to be the best because they haven't been carted halfway around the world,although there is an interesting fact about the original I.P.A.and that is that the transport across the oceans from GB.back in the 1800,s, to get it to India improved and strengthened the beer because of rolling movement of the waves.
3:30 You are actually not that wrong in the case of Slovakia (population of 5,4 million), even in 2009 more than 90% of the beer market belonged to two big international breweries and there were only 7 small ones. Now there is almost a 100 breweries in Slovakia and almost all of them, except like 4, are small, craft beers. But we do have lot of Czech beer here, which is in general considered better than the Slovak one (except Urpiner, which has beaten the Czech beers in a blind test in Czechia). I don't drink beer, so I have no personal experience with that.
I drank budlight in America when I was there for one and one only reason,it was cheap enough..its not really good..in fact,its not good at all..but it reminds you of beer,somewhat..but I prefer our european beers every day of the week....sorry America,but thats just how it is..its the same with your beer production as it is with the food dito...it lags behind..
We, can forgive the statement about 3-4 beers, if you are willing to learn ... Just try one of each beers which are available in the supermarkets of an average german town and you are rehabilitated.
Drinking beer out of plastic cups is weird, it remind me too much of when I was thirteen, drinking Strongbow out of the plastic bottle sitting, with my mates, on the cliff in Peachaven, in Sussex. Strongbow is a cider; cider is alcoholic in UK.
I'm not Irish, but I know that Guiness isn't the go to beer all over Ireland, it depends on where you live, could be Kilkenny or Murphys or others. As a Swede, we live in the Vodka belt so hard liquor is the way, when I was a child every other household had a machine to make vodka. I'm not into that myself, I prefer beer. In the liquor stores you have a choise of around 200 beers, in a typical pub maybe 10 different on tap and 20 in bottles. I know there is much more than Bud light and Millers in the US, when I was in Seattle I tried 5 or perhaps 10, i forget (go figure) different ales at a brewery, I believe they didn't sell those outside of WA, because they didn't pasteurize them
C´mon guys... Deftones, Korn, System of a Down.....do you think Europeans live in behalf of music in a cave or under a rock? I will tell you something.... I saw all of them "live on stage" already in the mid 90ties, where Deftones + Korn were already "established bands" for years who I already have seen before in concert and "System of a Down" were "brand new" at that time...and what have you done back then??..just joking I can assume how old you are. And about their Music Genre ..none of them is "Heavy Metal" Deftones is "Nu Metal" even considered as one of the founders of "Nu Metal", System of a Down is "Alternative Metal" = basically a mix of Heavy Metal elements + Nu Metal elements + Hardrock elements" and Korn is also "Nu Metal" and also part of that small circle of bands who are considered as founders of "Nu Metal" Just a little music history lesson. By the way I wasn´t offended but just amused when you said "if you heard about...."
I'm german... do you know what beer you have to taste?! Try original russian.... holy shit! By now i dont know exactly like what it taste - becouse it's always the same: you drink some - later on you wake up, and can't remember :o)))
I am German and I do not understand the existence of US light beer? Is it no alcohol or some diet stuff?I rather drink less good beer than a lot of fake beer.
One should never confuse the American Budweiser with the original Czech Budweiser (which is an absolutly great beer). You might wanna check this out: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Budweiser_trademark_dispute
You should definitely visit Wacken or Hellfest. These are the 2 Metal Open Airs that count in the world. I'm anything but a metalhead - but I adore Nightwish.I travel to every place in the world for this fantastic band. American beer? Unfortunately, there is no way to write a polite comment about this. I wouldn't even wash my feet with that. Drink it? Sorry, but no one can pay me that much money! I'd rather stick to our good German beer! NOT Kölsch 🤮
I'm personally not a beer fan, but 3-4 beers?😶 In Germany there are about 1500 breweries that produce 5000-6000 beers. And in other European countries it looks similar.😅

Whe in Belgium are your little brothers and have 1066 beers for 11 million people 😂
Yes I thought that too. Both Germany and Belgium have such a variety of delicious beers that " 3 or 4" is so inaccurate.

Guinness, Murphy's Irish Stout, Smithwick's and Beamish.
Murphy’s is very popular in Cork
What about the good oul tiger piss, Harp... got many a student through uni!
3-4? omg 😂
We have far fewer such big chains and monopolists in Europe, especially when it comes to food and drinks. Drink and eat what the locals do, always!
Ok, but in Cologne I wouldn't recommend anyone to drink Kölsch - that would contradict my conscience!
@@Kelsea-2002 The only way to dilute water: Kölsch
We don't have craft beers in Europe? Are you kidding me 🤣
3 to 4 main beers in Europe! Ignorance at its purest.

fun fact the first time led zeppelin showed stairway to heaven was in northern ireland at a show in belfast.
That’s awesome!
Im Scottish and craft beer is massive here with hundreds of breweries that have appeared over last decade and a half
In Germany, Tsjechia and Belgium beer is religion...
