As a foreigner in Germany it should be enough to say: "A beer". That should be enough to get the local brew. Perhaps add some "Bitte", but Germans also understand "Please". I think you thought to much.
Hi Jimmy. Another Fakt that's very interessting ist one thing we've had in the middle age. It's called the "Kerbholz". One qoute we you even in this time is: "Etwas auf dem Kerbholz haben". This means that you owe something. They've had no beer lid where they can mark how many beers you've drunken. So the host of a bar and the custumer have gotten a similar peace of wood. And if you've order a beer they fold the two peaces together and the host has made a score over the two peaces. so no one of both can cheat because only the scores that goes over the two peaces where counted.
So, I began watching and wondered how you managed to be in Germany long enough to get to the beach before having your first beer. Mine was the moment I got off the airplane in the Frankfurt airport LOL! Any way, it turned out to be a cute story and you clearly really enjoyed it! Not everyone is the alcoholic that i am LMAO (self burn)
What you describe sounds like the 'Kölsch' experience. Which is that you get a 2dcl glass of beer, it is marked on the 'Bierdeckel' and when you finished the glass, you will get another one without ordering, which is again marked on the Bierdeckel. This goes on until you put the Bierdeckel on top of the glas, which means I am done and I like to pay. Then the marks are counted and you pay.
I have seen this done in Kneipen around Hannover with Pils and have also had the "Kölsch experience" in Köln. And actually in many bars and pubs ,even in the US, it is quick and easy for high volume businesses. Also good when you the drinker cannot count. Me for example have always only counted two....the first and last, so it helps me to pay the bill too LOL
Actually the foam on top of the beer is very important for the good flavor of the beer. I'm a bit surprised that this kind of thing is not normal in other countries to have. :P
Ordering a "beer" is the safest way in Germany to avoid attracting negative attention if you don't know the specific regional differences. Examples: In Bavaria you should not order a "Pils", instead a "Maß" (1 Liter) or a "Halbe" (0,5 Liter). "Weißbier" is also common. In Cologne you should ask for "Kölsch, in Düsseldorf for "Alt". You better not mix up both! :-) Anyway, now let's hope for a quick re-opening of the beer-gardens!
Attention! If you order a "Dunkelbier" (dark beer) you will get a sweet malt beer without alcohol in most regions, a famous brand is Vitamalz for example. In Bavaria you can also get "dunkles Weizen" (dark wheat beer) with alcohol. Like mkmm60 wrote, the easiest way is just to order a beer and get the local brew. In the region where I live (North Rhine Westfalia), we drink Pils. To tap an original Pils lasts 7 minutes, just like this video. You tap into the glass until it´s full, then you let the foam shrink, tap again and so on, until the foam is over the "Eichstrich" (calibration mark), a line on the glass that marks the capacity of the glass, e. g. 0.2 , 0.3 , 0.5 or 1.0 Liter. Sweeping away the foam is not allowed in Germany for hygienic issues. The glass you mentioned looking like a wine glass is called Tulpe (tulip), a typical Pils glass. You can also order a "Durch" when you are in a hurry oder are very thursty. That´s a Pils tapped in one go, normally in a 0,2 Liter glass.
I will definitely be ordering a regional Pils next month from the north of germany, such a pretty place. Thank you for letting me know the name of the glass, I had no idea. Maybe I will take a “Durch” while waiting for the next one 😂
Not true. You won't get a malt beer unless you ordered one. Mistakes can happen but this will not be the common thing. Not all of them are malt beers. And there are different types of dark beer that contain alcohol. There is even malt beer with little alcohol.
Just imagine what it would have been like in Düsseldorf's " Altstadt ", especially in " Ürige "! first of all: you can leave out the "a". second: say " ALT " like " HALT " without the H third: don't be surprised if the beer flow doesn't stop before you put the beer lid / coaster on the glass. fourth: Do not feel attacked if the "Köbes" is unfriendly ...... THAT MUST BE SO. fifth: there are three drinks: beer, water, apple juice, nothing more little tip: in the " Ürige " in the past, the lines were made on the wall behind you, because people have always tried to make the coaster disappear
I did wonder how often a coaster had gone missing or manipulated. But I guess that after an afternoon of german beer, the idea of manipulating a coaster is beyond human capability 😂
@@jimmydoesgermany5856 More often than you might think, we have "a lot" of training .....;) I don't know the English word for it, but in German it means -drinking festival- and yes the "SCHEIXXX" translator wants to turn it into a party. ( *TRINKFEST* )
Before we entered into these weird and uncertain times, a large group of gentleman from my village would always find a reason to meet up and get some training in 😂 we would sit around a bbq, a fire or bench for several hours atleast A couple of times per month. 🍻
A good pils takes 7 minutes 5 to make and 2 to drink
The wine glas is a Biertulpe, a beer tulip.
It is a typical glas for pilsner.
That's how i felt in a coffee shop in Amsterdam 🥴🤭

I have always found the Germans to be extremely friendly and helpful. Part of the reason to why I have become a citizen myself 😊
@@jimmydoesgermany5856 That's an outright lie! You became a german because you were afraid of brexit. ;)
when I had my first beer in england I was really surprised, because I missed the foam 😂
Yeah, no foam in England - it’s all about receiving 1 pint of actual beer 🍺 😂
@@jimmydoesgermany5856 in D you get the foarm on top of the 0,5 l beer or 0,3 l as in the case of the pils
@@karinland8533 still have to get through the foam challenge :D but i now know that the challenge is worth it :)
I was also surprised but did not miss the foam.
I am German and I don't like foam on beer.
Your pronounciation is already really Good ☺️

That is interesting, I should search for more information on Kerbholz
😂👍🏾 Prost, Cheers and Skål! 🍻

Jever Bier ist zwar hell aber schön bitter mein Freund,das bekommst du in jeden Supermarkt. Probier mal😊

I totally agree with you now that I have seen the light 😂

Absolutely, cold beer and sunshine ☀️
You need to make a video on ordering beer all around the world.
That would be funny 😆

When it comes to "Dunkelbier", I can recommend the Oettinger Malz, this tastes not as sweet as other malt beers.
