  • So Rubio had some time on his hands, and German beer in them, so he concocted a devious scheme to perfectly re-create past Beerists-Modern Rogue episodes down to everybody wearing the exact same clothes, sporting the same beard progressions, all against the warehouse in as much disarray and just as disheveled as it was four months ago -- but this time, they have the German beer to drink.

      If you want to try a Belgian beer, I'd propose a 'Duvel'. I live in Belgium and have visited the brewery in Breendonk (pronounced as Braindonck) and it's a stronger beer (around 8%). If that's too strong, try a vedett (4.5-ish) beer.

    There's one more major aspect of German beer culture, which is the glasses. Kölsch you drink in a 0.2L glass in a simple cylinder shape. Weizen you drink in 0.5L glasses that kinda look like the Football (soccer) world cup trophy and Pilsener you drink in glasses like the one you are using. Pilsener btw are also very different regionally. Northern German Pilseners for example are much spicier/more bitter/drier than Pilseners from other parts of Germany. Like the video :)

    • @amanderp21
      @amanderp21 6 років тому +3

      They are drinking from snifters, pilsners get almost a fat champagne flute type of glass, and most Kolshes get a "tankard" or large mug style because of the lightness and drinkability.

    First rule of german beer: drink it from the according glass... e.g. Kölsch is served in a "Stange" which is a 0,2l straight tube like glass. So that the tabbed Kölsch is always fresh (since it has comparibly little carbonation) and by drinking it from the glass, you almost chuck it down in 2 or 3 zips. And by the design of the glass the beer hits your mouth mainly in the back which alters the taste (due to the distribution of tasting buds in your mouth). Weizen on the otherside has realy large glasses (0,5l) out of which you take larger chucks and start the taste right in the front of your mouth and so on

      And you can´t pour a 05, l Weiße / Weizen in 4 glasses and afterwards analyze it, because everyone has something different in the glass. Just like you can´t drink Weizen from a bottle. I mean you can, but it´s something to avoid. The yeast settles on the ground.

    Another fun fact as I'm continuing to watch: comparing hefeweizen smell to banana bread reminded me that there's a lot of people who like to drink bananenweizen, which is (obviously) a weizenbier with banana juice. It's actually quite good!

      John Rubio I actually get annoyed by this. Whenever I as a Belgian get in a discussion with a German they go “REINHEITSGEBOT!” And as they say that, they mix their white beer with cola. Give me a good dark Belgian beer or even a Cherry beer any day of the week.

    • @helloweener2007
      @helloweener2007 6 років тому +1

      Aquila009, The Reinheitsgebot had reasons in the time the law was written. Now it is a more marketing and protection. It is like Belgian waffles or the chocolate. If you buy it, you know what you get.
      The Reinheitsgebot prevents some cheating. You can get mixed beers here. But there is no writing about the Reinheitsgebot on it. I know guys who would never drink a mixed beer. I am fine with it, I am also fine with Irish beer or English Ale. I had also a Belgian beer in last time. Thanks to the EU-Market you can sell it here, even without keeping to our purity law.

    Most important thing to remember about Kölsch: don't order it if you're in or around Düsseldorf, as there is a long-standing rivalry between Düsseldorf and Cologne. You won't find a bar in Düsseldorf that serves Kölsch. Likewise, they won't serve Altbier, Düsseldorf's trademark beer, in Cologne. Apparently some landlords even kick you out if you order the wrong beer in the wrong city.

    Awesome show! Guy from southern Germany here, where Hefeweizen is very popular. It is also by far my favorite beer. If you ever come to Germany and you happen to be in the south, take a couple of hours hike up to a castle (we have tons of those). Usually on top of the castles you can buy food and beer quite cheaply. After being in the sun and sweating, a cold Hefeweizen is like heaven in a glas!!! Then during dinner, pair your hearty food with a nice dark hefeweizen :). Oh also I've been at the monestary in Andex and drank their 10% doppel Bock. Strong stuff ^^

    Greetings from germany (also lol). Pretty nice to see you guys do this beer-thing and here comes the but(t). Dont take this as offense (lot of people get to easy offended) but I just want to point out that here almost every region has their own beer. Most brewed and consumed are probably Pils. First the type of glas you use makes a huge difference. You should definelty try a Hefeweizen out of a big glas that is made for holding a whole bottle. Also I noticed you almost have no foam-topping. Tip: Leave a little rest in the bottle (maybe about two fingers width), shake it up to get foamy and pour it on top into the glas.
    Also very important!!! The Reinheitsgebot has changed due to EU regulations. Now you can add things like different acids or even aspertam. I'm personally very sad about this but thats business these days... So german beer is not as pure anymore as it was 10 years ago - very unfortunate
    Keep up the good videos!

      Just an addition: The traditional Reinheitsgebot did in fact change in Germany, but not in Bavaria, which is a state of Germany (like Texas in the US). Bavaria/Bayern has retained their original Reinheitsgebot from 1516, and there still only hops, water, and malt are used for brewing. To get the real deal, I would always recommend to try authentic Bavarian beer. My favourite is Weihenstephaner.

    Hi guys, nice Review of some of our great beers, as you know we have a lot of great regional beers. One of the importants things in the past, was the water near the brewerys, so a lot of beers had the same manufacterer but different tastes, based on the regional water. Hope that is interesting as well for you. Finally a special about the hefeweizen, after sport or at warm days, we put some banana juice in the beer and that fits perfectly to original taste of the Beer! Great Video guys, go on and take care, will follow you! :)

You can read it up, very interesting. Don't get me wrong, I dont wanna talk czech beer bad quite the contrary you guys have awesome beer but Pilsner Urquell literally is the original name for it too which was brewed in the then called "Bürger Brauerei" in Pilsen as bavarian lager style beer. Also taking into account that Pilsen back then had a strong german speaking community you gotta give the bavarians some credit. The czechs obviously provided the Water and hops so its more like a bavarian-czech joint venture project. I think we can all agree though that europe as a whole brews the world's best beer. If you're a beer lover you appreciate them all be it Belgian, Dutch, English, Scandinavian, German or Czech etc. :)

    Interestingly: all the beers you had taste different than they do in Germany. Because of the purity laws, German beer would be illegal to sell in the US without being filtered in some weird way...
    The more you know :)

    • @johnrubio
      @johnrubio 6 років тому +48

      That's a misconception. Plenty of unfiltered German-made beer is imported into the US. A big reason a lot of it tastes different is because of the process of export/import. Often, that exposes the beer to temperature fluctuations, jarring motion, and time- all of which can sometimes negatively impact the flavor of a beer. It's not always the case, though.
