The Modern Rogue Brian, if you like IPAs, Ballast Point (makers of Sculpin from the first beer episode) made & JUST released a lighter IPA called Fathom. About 5 or 6% ABV compared to Sculpin’s 7.5%
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.
I have a friend in Cologne who'd be offended but wouldn't disagee. It's because he lives in Cologne, but I feel he would prefer something smoother and with a higher alcohol content :D
I just started working at a liquor store and thanks to these videos I've convinced my coworkers that I'm a connoisseur of beer and whiskey. That said you guys need to do a wine episode.
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 :)
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.
What about the Maß bier? :D On my first time visiting Germany, in Munich's Englischer Garten, I had my first time seeing the 1L mugs. When I ordered it, the dude serving went almost ecstatic. "MAß BIEEEER!" he said in a very deep voice. Ah I wanna go back to Germany. Grüße!
@@amanderp21 When i went to cologne and bonn all the locals there ordered Kolsch in 0.2l glasses and the bar staff would be almost shocked if we ordered in a larger glass.
@@TheMrNalsur The mug is sometimes referred to as a "Humpen"or "Stein" but mostly as a "Maß" or "Krug." In bavaria and austria the Maß is used for most beers and beer mixes like radler which is beer and lemonade
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.
I went to a concert in Germany last year. I didn't eat yet so I decided to get some at the concert. They only sold beer and pretzels. 10/10 would do again.
Greetings from a German! Gotta admit, none of my favourite beers were up in this video, but I remembered some saying right away. Some German people call a Kölsch "the only way to dilute water" and I kinda felt like I had to share that. 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!
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 ^^
Man I adore this show. Every saturaday I cook curry, and while I'm waiting for curry to cook, I'm driking IPA and watching Modern Rogue. I'm white Lithuanian (European), but dude, these beer shows could be a thing every saturday. Thumbs up from LT.
Dr. B. Is the head of the beer brewing school at the Weihenstephaner breweries. He also makes Gruit beer, beer brewed w/o hops- spices sold by the church to brew wives. 2 unique and wonderful beers.
Hi guys :) As a Bavarian myself, I know a lot of people who would beat the crap out of you for what you did to that Weizen.^^ There is a ritual to how you pour and drink this style of beer. :D Awesome episode! Ayinger is actually one of my favorites, mainly because I'm from Munich so it's easy to get. Again, awesome episode! Keep on going rogue! XD By the way, that's not even close to Lederhosen. XD FYI: A Kloster is a monastery.
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.
I may not drink, but I find your analysis videos of various types of alcohol fascinating. You guys have the ability to make almost any topic interesting to listen to! Thanks for all the content Brian & Jason!
You can drink it without syrup. But you have to keep it for a long time in the cellar. I am told, that it was buried in the ground for a year. It changes the taste then, but I never tried this. I drink it only with sweet Woodruff syrup.
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.
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.
I gotta say, I love you guys. I can't even drink yet, but I still love watching these episodes because of the jokes and kinda stupid stuff that you guys end up doing. I didn't realize until recently you were the hosts of Hacking the System, cause I found and watched that on netflix, love watching you guys, and in one of your episodes you mentioned "While we were working on Hacking the System blah blah blah" I went and checked cause my immediate thought was NO WAY ARE THESE THE SAME PEOPLE. OH MY GOD THEY ARE!
There are much better Bavarian Weissbier (Hefeweizen) options than Ayinger, but great to see German beers featured on this channel. Keep it up, Modern Rogue!
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.
Great video guys! Just a few remarks. 1) The "Reinheitsgebot" is more of a marketing issue... As everyone here will argue that is serves the quality of the beer (and maybe it does, since it prohibits cheep ingredients such as rice) its actual purpose in the early 16the century was different: It states that only malt can be used for brewing bear, meaning malted barley. So the law prevented wheat from being used to brew beer in order to keep the prices for bread low. In this sense, todays wheat beer, or Weißbier as it is called most parts (not all of) Bavaria, does not comply to the "Reinheitsgebot". 2) The reason why some parts of the wheat beer are cloudy and some are not (Berliner Weiße is a wheat beer after all) is because it is not filtered and some of the yeast will subside to the bottom of the bottle, as it stands upright. But since a glas for wheat beer is usually .5 litres, it doesn't really matter as you are pouring the whole bottle anyway. You just have to make sure, that you get all of the bottles content. 3) Different beers are usually served in different styles of glasses. The Kölsch glas for example is .2 litres, since this type of beer usually go stale very fast. So in order to enjoy the whole beer, the amount in the glas is small. 4) There are tons of other sorts of Beer: The most important one here in Germany is not even mentioned: Pils, or Pilsener. This style of beer originated also in Bohemia within the city of what is now called "Plzeň". The German name of the city is "Pilsen" as a significant part of Bohemias population before '45 was German. Although most of them were expelled after the war, the Czech brewery in Plzeň still uses the German name: "Pilsner Urquell". Pilsener remains one of the most popular styes of beer within Germany. Btw. the German name for the city of Budějovice is "Budweis"... So i think you can guess, where the name "Budweiser" for an American beer comes from ;-) 5) Other types of beer that are quite common here are "Helles", "Export", "Altbier", "Märzen" and "Porter"... So there is many more to discover. I'd love to see some more videos here :)
I bought my first dopplebock, and it just happened to be the one in this video, the Andechs. It's probably my favorite lager right now, love love love it. Can't wait to keep discovering new beers.
I'm American, and in my area we don't really see too many German beers. My awakening to German beer was Weihenstephaner from my local World Market. It's probably my favorite beer so far, but I'd love to taste more varieties. Really appreciate this video!
I am new to your channel. I have been living in Germany (Hamburg) for over 20 years and have only now started to taste all the beers on offer. I will post some of my findings and let you know what I learned from your posts. Thanks for the great information!
Berliner is for me very sour and somewhat somewhat fizzy. Very refreshing but way too sour for me. I also just tried Löwenbräu. That was very smooth, dry finish and a great hops taste. Wow, getting just trying these two! Lol now I know why you wanted to do this.
As a german I am happy to see you guys test our beers. Sad about the part that you're drinking beers that I don't know. That's okay though it looks like most of them were from Bavaria anyways. I am from Hesse and we usually drink locally, haha. Except for the Kölsch. My "local" beer is Licher and they do export. If you get your hands on that, I'd love to see it in a video.
Belgian or English styles next? And some additional information about Hefeweizen: At some point in the late Middle-Ages (I think), the government in today's Bavaria raised a tax on barley, so the people started using wheat instead.
I'm German and 28 years old and never heard of any of these.. no that's not true, I saw an Andechs once in my local Getränkeland and I saw Reissdorf Kölsch when I was in Dortmund. And well, I know the original Berliner Weisse, since I live in Berlin but never heard of this specific brand..
@@robpiy91 Reisdorf is from Leverkusen and Andechs is pretty common in NRW. But i think they forgot about the major pils brands like krombacher and warsteiner
the funny thing with watching this video when coming from Cologne is, that you´re examining the beer like some finest single malt, but a can of Kölsch is basically 95ct in german supermarket :D
What has 2 thumbs and is gonna try some German beers this weekend? This guy. As soon as you said kolsch, I ran to the fridge and got my kolsch-style beer from Arizona.
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! :)
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 :)
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.
That dunkelweizen looks so perfect to me, so I looked it up, and apparently there was a brewery just 2 blocks away from me for 3 years that made it! I didn't even know that place existed, but unfortunately, it closed down this summer, just after I turned 21, taking the only local source of dunkelweizen with it. Why is life so cruel sometimes?
That was really interesting to see as a German :D I knew all of the different kinds of beers they presented but i did not know a single brand. And the way you say stuff like Reinheitsgebot is pretty funny :D even though i know (or at least think) that you don't try to say it in German. Great video anyway!
There are more then 5.500 different beers in germany. So u can have every Day one beer, 15 years long. By the way, my favorit beer is called Schumacher Alt from Düsseldorf.
As much as I liked the video, and as much as I understand that it is meant in a comical/jockingly way, I still have to say: We don't all wear Lederhosen all the time (especially not in this color, I would not even dare to wish someone to wear those XD). Great video :D
Thank you for a great episode! I'm not too well versed in beers, so this has been a great primer to get to know what I like. My wife and I were in Nuremberg a little while ago and I had a really awesome dark beer at a small beer garden near my hotel. I've been looking around to see if I can find it in San Antonio without success. It sounds like the Double Bock might be it! Thanks again!
"Bohemia and kölnare close enough to export to each other", well pretty much every two places here in europe are close enough to have traded, pretty much starting in antiquity.
I live near Würzburg and yeah weeee have goood beer :3 and also wine ;) i also can recommend Zwickel and doppelbock beer :p we have a lot of beer types here im Germany :D aaand if u do a trip to my home i will give u the best local beer and food would be nice to meet u two ;)
The place Kölsch comes from is Köln, isn't it? It sounded like klon, when he said it:) And try pronouncing the "ö" like you say "we were at a bar" "we wör(e) at the bar" that may be the closest sound in english to the german "ö" Or "I heared that a guy said.." "I höred that a guy said..." Nice one Brian! Swiss-beer is great too. And the whisky as well :-)
majan yes and no. Colonia is the latin name of Köln but most german cities are not translated (Hamburg, Berlin, Stuttgart) because they can be said in english aswell. Köln can't so they chose to call it cologne which comes from colonia
@@Osc1llateW1ldly You mean the one that had to be invented by a bavarian that specifically was ordered over 1842 to pilsen because the townsfolk dumped barrels of the original top-fermented brown "pilsner" on the town square to show how bad it was? 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. :)
16:00 it is a BS. REINHEITSGEBOT was made to save wheat from brewing because it was making higher wheat price from which the main food, the bread was made in that days. So none of the beers which contains any other malt than barley fit to the REINHEITSGEBOT.
Except that a group of royals back in the day who loved wheat beers convinced the government to allow an exception to the law to allow the Brewing of hefeweizen. The other mandates of the law still being in tact. His point was that those flavors are a product of phenols and esters from the four ingredients and not from any additives.
Jason Murphy It was my intro to Austin when I moved here from Portland. It has been my go-to because I don't like how busy 6th gets in the evening and it's a calm atmosphere rather than a party bar.
After watching the three (now four) episodes I realize how little I know about beers. I'm from the Netherlands, right in the middle of all the beer countries, so I'm surprised how much is going on around me haha
"This beer is supposed to be a dry drinkable any time beer. That's, I think, perfect for the summertime." Good thing you got this up in time for the summer... ;)

Berliner Weisse Sourness: I assume that's why adding fruit syrup to the Weisse became a thing...?
Yes.
That's exactly right. And while I prefer mine without syrup, sometimes I love a dash of raspberry or woodruff syrup in mine.

The modern rogue has a basic understanding of Belgian beers.
Seriously enjoyed this, please continue this playlist with The Beerists!
Beer expert that dont "shake" a hefeweizen bottle ahhhhh my heart
Why do you shake a Hefeweizen bottle for? I’m curious
@@kingk221 cause the yeast is stuck on the ground
If u dont shake it u got a normal beer
There are much better Bavarian Weissbier (Hefeweizen) options than Ayinger, but great to see German beers featured on this channel. Keep it up, Modern Rogue!
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!
Ich war n bischen traurig dass die nicht normales Bier wie krombacher oder Veltins probiert haben...
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.
They're using tasting glasses
very german-like comment, love it
if the comment doesn't contain the phrase "EU regulations" it wasn't produced
by a german :P
You got to up your glass game. Most german beers have a specific glass style designed for it.
Funny you start with kölsch, 95% of germans would argue that this is not beer
I agree! Dont do Kölsch!
How is it “not a beer”?
DracoRogue1218 if its under 10% alc its considered a soft drink.
Jeffrey 778 10%?!?!
that was the russian law. beer was always alcohol you could buy at 16
The one time the combination "Germany + purity law" didn't go horribly wrong.
You need to become the German beer to understand it.
Cheers and greetings from Munich
Modern rogue and the beerists are a great combo. You guys need to do more videos about beer. Cheers
Aw, thanks! You should check out podcast out at thebeerists.com, or search for "The Beerists" on your favorite podcast app!
I was at Andechs exactly one week before this video was published!
Andechs is incredible!!!
Great informative video. Can't wait to see more.

"It tastes very THICC."
-Jason Murphy
You guys teaming up with the beerists is awesome, really interesting stuff! Do an episode about Belgian beers as well!
Drinking Game: Hard mode: Every time Grant opens his mouth. Easy mode: every time he says something that isn't ignored.
Great video guys! Just a few remarks.
1) The "Reinheitsgebot" is more of a marketing issue... As everyone here will argue that is serves the quality of the beer (and maybe it does, since it prohibits cheep ingredients such as rice) its actual purpose in the early 16the century was different: It states that only malt can be used for brewing bear, meaning malted barley. So the law prevented wheat from being used to brew beer in order to keep the prices for bread low. In this sense, todays wheat beer, or Weißbier as it is called most parts (not all of) Bavaria, does not comply to the "Reinheitsgebot".
2) The reason why some parts of the wheat beer are cloudy and some are not (Berliner Weiße is a wheat beer after all) is because it is not filtered and some of the yeast will subside to the bottom of the bottle, as it stands upright. But since a glas for wheat beer is usually .5 litres, it doesn't really matter as you are pouring the whole bottle anyway. You just have to make sure, that you get all of the bottles content.
3) Different beers are usually served in different styles of glasses. The Kölsch glas for example is .2 litres, since this type of beer usually go stale very fast. So in order to enjoy the whole beer, the amount in the glas is small.
4) There are tons of other sorts of Beer: The most important one here in Germany is not even mentioned: Pils, or Pilsener. This style of beer originated also in Bohemia within the city of what is now called "Plzeň". The German name of the city is "Pilsen" as a significant part of Bohemias population before '45 was German. Although most of them were expelled after the war, the Czech brewery in Plzeň still uses the German name: "Pilsner Urquell". Pilsener remains one of the most popular styes of beer within Germany. Btw. the German name for the city of Budějovice is "Budweis"... So i think you can guess, where the name "Budweiser" for an American beer comes from ;-)
5) Other types of beer that are quite common here are "Helles", "Export", "Altbier", "Märzen" and "Porter"... So there is many more to discover. I'd love to see some more videos here :)
More whiskey episodes please!
I bought my first dopplebock, and it just happened to be the one in this video, the Andechs. It's probably my favorite lager right now, love love love it. Can't wait to keep discovering new beers.
Da dieses Video über Deutsches Bier ist...Grüße an alle Deutschen :)

I'm American, and in my area we don't really see too many German beers. My awakening to German beer was Weihenstephaner from my local World Market. It's probably my favorite beer so far, but I'd love to taste more varieties. Really appreciate this video!
Weihenstephan is one of the oldest beer brewery that is still operating today. They were founded around 1675.
Its really funny to watch how People from America talk about German Beer...Schöne Grüße aus Deutschland.
Plus it's funny how many Germans are watching this channel.
It's funny to watch americans talk about anything to be honest.
Callahad except Bourbon, a real Bourbon will give most import whisky a run for its money
I am new to your channel. I have been living in Germany (Hamburg) for over 20 years and have only now started to taste all the beers on offer. I will post some of my findings and let you know what I learned from your posts. Thanks for the great information!
Berliner is for me very sour and somewhat somewhat fizzy. Very refreshing but way too sour for me. I also just tried Löwenbräu. That was very smooth, dry finish and a great hops taste. Wow, getting just trying these two! Lol now I know why you wanted to do this.
Drunk
As a german I am happy to see you guys test our beers. Sad about the part that you're drinking beers that I don't know. That's okay though it looks like most of them were from Bavaria anyways. I am from Hesse and we usually drink locally, haha. Except for the Kölsch. My "local" beer is Licher and they do export. If you get your hands on that, I'd love to see it in a video.
Aside from being also german, it is interesting that we have the same exact profile picture.
TheKrautsalad kein namhaftes bayerisches bier dabei... nur 0815 aber die ammis sind ja nur mist gewohnt
Detective John Kimble says the guy from the country ruled by trump 👍
WO IST KÖNIG PILSENER? Wie wollen die einen Biertest ohne machen.
I'm living in Hesse rn too, I just moved here just 6 months ago
John Rubio is so knowledgeable. I could listen to him spout facts and history all day.
Belgian or English styles next?
And some additional information about Hefeweizen: At some point in the late Middle-Ages (I think), the government in today's Bavaria raised a tax on barley, so the people started using wheat instead.
I like how there is continuity between episodes and videos.
I've been living in Germany since 2004 and I have never seen any of these beer brands.
I'm German and 28 years old and never heard of any of these.. no that's not true, I saw an Andechs once in my local Getränkeland and I saw Reissdorf Kölsch when I was in Dortmund.
And well, I know the original Berliner Weisse, since I live in Berlin but never heard of this specific brand..
@@robpiy91 Reisdorf is from Leverkusen and Andechs is pretty common in NRW. But i think they forgot about the major pils brands like krombacher and warsteiner
Op0r8durr Skinny noch nie getrunken aber immer im TrinkGut gesehen
the funny thing with watching this video when coming from Cologne is, that you´re examining the beer like some finest single malt, but a can of Kölsch is basically 95ct in german supermarket :D
Yes. More beerist episodes
YASSSSSS! If you like those, I hope you listen to our podcast. thebeerists.com
What has 2 thumbs and is gonna try some German beers this weekend? This guy. As soon as you said kolsch, I ran to the fridge and got my kolsch-style beer from Arizona.
Fist rule to understand German beer:
Kölsch isn't one
It originated in Cologne, didn't it?
Dirg yeah but its looked down upon by lots of people
Kölsch is Water
@@haifisch1395 on behalf of my cologne friends, how dare you say something so brave, yet so controversial
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! :)
Regionality is one of my favorite things about a beer. It gives geography a flavor, and flavors to specific travel destinations.
Of all the German Beers I've tried DAB from Dortmund is my favorite. Ja so gut !!!
Aber Hövels ist besser :(
philosophizing about beer...i could listen all day to you guys :p
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 :)
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.
John Rubio i stand corrected! Hats off my lord!
Still tastes better here ;) plus, the best stuff isn’t exported at all...
Many US microbrews are unfiltered. Best example is Sierra Nevada Pale Ale.
"German beer would be illegal to sell in the US without being filtered in some weird way"
Wrong!
The more you know!
24:35 I love how everyone leans in to sniff the beer, but Grant just goes ahead and takes a big swig.
Holy shit.
Someone else that gets greek yogurt out of Berliner weisse!
I don't know anyone that picks that up I thought I was crazy
Just remember - Dark is not a flavor ...
PS - Great Show - Really enjoy seeing you back in front of the camera Brian!
That dunkelweizen looks so perfect to me, so I looked it up, and apparently there was a brewery just 2 blocks away from me for 3 years that made it! I didn't even know that place existed, but unfortunately, it closed down this summer, just after I turned 21, taking the only local source of dunkelweizen with it.
Why is life so cruel sometimes?
Every once in a while I rewatch all these videos,
Im not even old enough to drink im just here for jason and brian
And we're here for you.
Jason Murphy The Modern Rouge, drinking so you dont have to-break-the-law-if-you're-under-the-legal- age
Thanks, Jason.
W3J M3CH and brian
Detective John Kimble The amount of salt...
That was really interesting to see as a German :D I knew all of the different kinds of beers they presented but i did not know a single brand. And the way you say stuff like Reinheitsgebot is pretty funny :D even though i know (or at least think) that you don't try to say it in German. Great video anyway!
it makes me uncomfortable the way he says "wheat".
don't be that guy. that's a dumb hill to die on.
WHILL WHEATON
Cool hwhip.
Titanium hwite
Sounds like a personal problem to me?
YES! Pls do more vids with the beerists
There are more then 5.500 different beers in germany. So u can have every Day one beer, 15 years long. By the way, my favorit beer is called Schumacher Alt from Düsseldorf.
Schumacher? Ich schwör ja auf Kürzer, Füchschen oder Gulasch.
As much as I liked the video, and as much as I understand that it is meant in a comical/jockingly way, I still have to say: We don't all wear Lederhosen all the time (especially not in this color, I would not even dare to wish someone to wear those XD).
Great video :D
oh, of course. But in return, next time you depict an american, you can put him in a full cowboy costume.
Can you make a video about blacksmithing? That'll be awesome! :D
It's on the list!
Fun fact : the Augustiner brewery in Munich exists since 1328, where nobody even thought of Germany or America 😂
What is this now, 4 episodes with Beerists? I think Trevor is being challenged. Also might I add you guys seem to have an affinity for alcohol
Maynase3 [NERD] WE NEED MORE TREVOR
WE'RE COMING FOR YOU, TREVOR.
"Also might I add you guys seem to have an affinity for alcohol"
You say that like it's a BAD thing! Modern Rogue + The Beerists = Full On Win.
Thank you for a great episode! I'm not too well versed in beers, so this has been a great primer to get to know what I like. My wife and I were in Nuremberg a little while ago and I had a really awesome dark beer at a small beer garden near my hotel. I've been looking around to see if I can find it in San Antonio without success. It sounds like the Double Bock might be it! Thanks again!
Outstanding! Be sure to listen to the Beerists podcast. They've got new episodes every week.
You Guys forgot one Rule about german Beers; don't drink it from a can.
Especially if you are doing a beer tasting. Beer cans should be reserved for festivals.
In very exclusive situation some beers are better from cans
Erwin Broekhoven for example?
At least it is Reissdorf Kölsch. Love it.
They didn't drink groom the can. They poured into glasses which is best.
"Bohemia and kölnare close enough to export to each other", well pretty much every two places here in europe are close enough to have traded, pretty much starting in antiquity.
I live near Würzburg and yeah weeee have goood beer :3 and also wine ;) i also can recommend Zwickel and doppelbock beer :p we have a lot of beer types here im Germany :D aaand if u do a trip to my home i will give u the best local beer and food would be nice to meet u two ;)
Phil C. Die Chance jemanden zu finden der extrem nah an dir wohnt unter einem Englischen Video ist sooo gering haha (komme auch aus Nähe Würzburg)
Ja die Wahrscheinlichkeit ist echt seeehr gering ;D und was heißt bei dir Nähe also ich wohn in Kitzingen xD
Komme aus Würzburg XD Würzburger hofbräu und silvaner sind Standard im Kühlschrank
Phil C. Kitzingen war ich erst heute lol, bin Lkw Fahrer und dort ist ne Baywa
Not really into beer or whiskey, but these types of episodes are some of my favorites
That's great to hear! I'm glad the non-drinking segment of the Modern Rogue community isn't alienated by these.
The place Kölsch comes from is Köln, isn't it? It sounded like klon, when he said it:)
And try pronouncing the "ö" like you say "we were at a bar" "we wör(e) at the bar" that may be the closest sound in english to the german "ö"
Or "I heared that a guy said.." "I höred that a guy said..."
Nice one Brian! Swiss-beer is great too. And the whisky as well :-)
it sounded like klon because Köln is Cologne in english
Exactly, because English doesn't have the ö, they translated Köln to Cologne, so that's what he said!
no, the name Colongne has nothing to do with English having no "ö", it derives from latin "colonia"
majan yes and no. Colonia is the latin name of Köln but most german cities are not translated (Hamburg, Berlin, Stuttgart) because they can be said in english aswell. Köln can't so they chose to call it cologne which comes from colonia
In Kölsch dialect, they say "Koasch."
I don't even drink and i still watch this, love this channel
We love you, too.
they make their drinking problems into hobby
Mika Zilla and a learning experience for the rest of us
Respect. The "Mouth Feel" concept is a real feeling. Don't let them shame you! Lol
Try Czech beer
@@Osc1llateW1ldly You mean the one that had to be invented by a bavarian that specifically was ordered over 1842 to pilsen because the townsfolk dumped barrels of the original top-fermented brown "pilsner" on the town square to show how bad it was? 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. :)
16:00 it is a BS. REINHEITSGEBOT was made to save wheat from brewing because it was making higher wheat price from which the main food, the bread was made in that days. So none of the beers which contains any other malt than barley fit to the REINHEITSGEBOT.
Except that a group of royals back in the day who loved wheat beers convinced the government to allow an exception to the law to allow the Brewing of hefeweizen. The other mandates of the law still being in tact. His point was that those flavors are a product of phenols and esters from the four ingredients and not from any additives.
Nothing from Dortmund...?
You are disqualified ;-)!
Thanks for making an amazing ~30 minute video on beer. My favorite Austin bar is the Ginger Man. I'll use this info there.
Ginger Man is pretty fantastic. I haven't been in there in quite a while.
love the ginger man!
Jason Murphy It was my intro to Austin when I moved here from Portland. It has been my go-to because I don't like how busy 6th gets in the evening and it's a calm atmosphere rather than a party bar.
Seit wann ist kölsch Bier???
(man betone das “ö“
PL T pisswasser
Hab ich mich auch gefragt 🤔
Hab fast geweint als sie das Weizen "getrunken" haben und sowas nennt sich Bierexperte
War es noch nie!
Oh my god, I JUST rewatched the small playlist of 3 previous beer episodes and got so confused when this popped up on the videos page
After watching the three (now four) episodes I realize how little I know about beers. I'm from the Netherlands, right in the middle of all the beer countries, so I'm surprised how much is going on around me haha
GRANT DAVIS
Who else is happy to see the beerists back.
you can also refer to it as : Kölner Pisse.
I don't drink, however I have always found the intricacies of alcoholic beverages fascinating. Good video, quite informative.
+Darrell Leber thanks so much!
Bohemia, you say?
Is this the real life?
Heh.
No........................fantasy!
B Dickinson Caught in a landslide
"This beer is supposed to be a dry drinkable any time beer. That's, I think, perfect for the summertime."
Good thing you got this up in time for the summer... ;)
You do a video about German beer yet start with Kölsch 😣😣😣
Well it makes sense. As he said they want to start with something light.
The fire drill went fine, luckily it was a nice day so we all got to take a nice 10 minute break in the parking lot.
