Nobody seems to be buying them in my local Aldi. All the Erdingers and Paulaners are gone but still loads of these and they are the best ones! Hoping they might get reduced to clear the shelves soon, in which case I'll fill the fridge!
I called to three Aldis in Manchester today and the Hell lager was sold out. There was one bottle of Erdinger Oktoberfest left on the shelf. I'll have to buy the Hell's on line now for a little bit extra, I've seen it for around £21 for 6 bottles. Thanks again for the heads up in this beer, it's fantastic.
Had both of these the other day and totally agree with your review . . I walked by cause couldn’t be bothered with more rip of beer , until I looked and realised these were genuine! 😊Absolutely awesome to see these in Aldi . They absolutely need to keep getting these in . Two absolutely great beers . Cheers Simon . 🍻
my local ALDI was bulldozed and they are building a brand new shop on the same site, so 1 full year without sales shows how well the budget supermarkets are doing these days, I have a LIDL nearby but not quite as good in my opinion.
I grabbed 2 boxes of 12 Benediktiner Hells and 12 bottles of the Weissbier couple weeks ago when the were stocked in the local Aldi. I've drank 12 bottles of the Hells & 6 bottles of the Weissbier and really enjoyed them, the rest are put away for xmas. Also have 8 bottles of the Erdinger Oktoberfest Weissbier left, i drank 4 and thought it was really good, the rest are away for xmas. Not sure which weissbier i prefered to be honest.
My Aldi only had the Paulaner and spaten, so I bought maybe 8 Paulaner...to which the wife did this 👀 2 weeks later on they had the benedikner etc So clearly the staff just tossed it out into the store ad hoc. The benedikner hells is lovely drop👌
These beers look so crisp and refreshing. I don't mind Lidl releasing the Oktoberfest box further into October.....it keeps it going longer! These are better value than most supermarket craft beer in 2024...
Both are fantastic i bought more of the erdinger festbier as you seemed to rate that higher but found i much prefer the Benidictiner weissbier. Lovely flavour to it
I picked up a couple of bottles of both along with a few other beers aldi put out for oktoberfest a couple of weeks back. I might pop out to see if they have any left. Its great to see quality german beer at affordable prices, shame you cant get these all year round.
They were/are £2.49 a bottle. 99% of people cannot tell the difference between these and beers that cost £1.49 in Aldi. That extra £1 a bottle soon adds up over a week/month/year.
Please don't compare the price of craft beer to Eurpean bottle lager - if people keep doing so all it will do is raise the price of the bottled lager and no-one wants that
Benedikter Hell and Weiss are also available in Dutch supermarkets. Eur 1.59 for the Hell and Eur 1.66 for the Weiss beer. Tried them both. They are good beers but I have had better German beers. Don't expect to come close to Franziskaner, Weienstephaner and Paulaner. It can rather be compared to Erdinger.
@@alangoodlad6869 interesting as I was in Munich for a week a month ago and that's how it was pronounced in the beer gardens I visited. But given your experience I'm guessing I misheard?
@@adriancoleman1120 not at all I’ve herd various pronunciations of it ,you could well be right,it’s a bit like I lived on the Pennines Lancashire if you went to different towns within 5miles accent was different,I’ve only holidayed there not lived 🤷🏻♂️
I wish the U.K. would pass a purity law for our home brewed beers
Too much corruption
Tried the Hell yesterday, fully agree with you it’s a fantastic Beer.
Agreed it's madness they don't stock them year round they are two Super Bottles of Beer 👍
Outstanding beers. I'd happily pay £3 plus for these if they were in all the time. So much better than the muck they put in that's brewed in the UK.

Both superb beers. Like you say, it would be great to have these on the shelves all year.
I agree.. Aldi should keep them in stock.

Hit Lidl for the Spaten helles....it's good beer!
Ocado do both Benediktiner beers 3 for £6 at the moment.
you can't go wrong with either, fantastic beers... still on the Lowenbrau Oktoberfest here, 6 pack for 3.99... oof

Totally agree with your verdict, cracking beer. Will be sad when its gone and we have to wait another year for it ... hopefully

I used to love making my own beer, lager and ale....
The smell n the excitement to see the end result was super....
I got these from aldi and I really enjoyed them. gonna get more if there still in stock.
just been to aldi and got the last 2 bottles. gonna try old Trafford aldi tomorrow
If you haven't compared all the weissbiers you can get your hands on, please do. I'd be interested to hear your opinion on them.
There is a video for that on my channel

Used to be an abbey brewery, now brewed (but allegedly overseen by Bavarian monks) by Bitburger Group in Hesse

Im on my 9th bottle of the oktoberfest 10 pack. Every one of them have been top notch
Had both really enjoyed both , found the hells hard to get again when I went to buy more
Sweet, I'll be looking into that for sure.
The weissbier is the better of the two i put it up against lidls petronas which like you i consider good and it beat it hands down
Hi si!I also love my german beer wiess beer espesial oopa bit of spanish there I nowam trying the Crystal range of wiess and they are just exellent
I have a local booths store to me regularly stock the benedikliner hells fantastic beer
Which one? I've never seen it and would love to have a regular supply of them both if Aldi don't keep it in stock.

@@ianrawsthorne2764 cheers pal, I usually go the Clitheroe one and haven't seen rhem there.
Commented right at the end while watching and then you gave a 10/10 . Ha ha . Don’t think I’ve ever seen all them fingers 🤣👌🏻
Love the reaction to the Helles 😂
I got these from Ocado when they were on 3 for £6 so only £2 a bottle. Don't think the offer of on now and the regular price is £2.49
Never understood the want of banana and clove in Weisbiers....I know its the yeast but not to my liking tbh....
Cant understand why they dont sell them all year round. They fly off the shelves
These are good beers, part of the bit bitburger group. Hadn't seen them in the UK before
They were/are £2.49 a bottle. 99% of people cannot tell the difference between these and beers that cost £1.49 in Aldi. That extra £1 a bottle soon adds up over a week/month/year.
easy tell the difference
The difference is night and day for people who know their beers. People who drink Fosters will obviously not...
@@karlos55555 that's my point. Most people go to Aldi for a bargain, not high quality beers
Blue Label one is like milk! If you started drinking with this these two beers then most after it would be downhill!
Great Hells
Can anyone comment on the Stonewall Inn IPA £6.10 a pint in my local !!!
You had a thirst built for this video Si!! Must have been at least midday.
You hardly smelled the weiss lol

Definitely don't want that!

I thought the same about the weissbeer. Was very similar to Erdinger. Which isn’t a good thing.
A lot of crows getting stoned today
must get me some of that 🍺
Reading the label, it's BenedikTINER...like the Benedictine monks. Sorry to be pedantic but I know you like things proper!
Some away for Xmas 🤔🤔🤔😀
to everyone watching. keep out of the stretford aldi. leave the beer for me . 😂
Why do we get so ripped off in this County.
My aldi never had it
Hell-us, not Hell-es 😊
Hell-no 😂
@@jameskrell4392 Hell-yes!😂
I’ve been going to Bavaria for 20 years and never herd Hell-Us always Hell-Es 🤷🏻♂️
