You have some incorrect information. Kölsch is not a lager but an ale fermented at a lager temperature to give a clean taste like a lager. It is a hybrid like alt beer.
As a person from Northern Germany, I feel highly offened by the statement of "Bavaria as the Mecca of beer" simply due to the fact that there are breweries all over the entire country, with over 5,000 kinds of beer, typically rooted in regional traditions. Beer here in the North is rather tard, contains 6% of alcohol, and is very different from what you get in the South of the country. Plus, Germany is not only a beer-producing country but also the 4th largest producer of wine (ua-cam.com/users/shortsAMfW7KIeIXw?feature=share), just to give everybody a fully authentic picture. I know that this clip was about beer only, but nonetheless. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. Cheers!
You'd be surprised: Germany is a nation of wine as well! Before WWI made German culture unpopular in the other western cultures, the best German wines were more expensive than the French top wines.
That might be so, but I’ve always found German wine tastes awful. I much prefer French, Italian, and New Zealand white wines as well as Spanish, Argentinian, and Australian red wines. Also: English sparkling wine is, in some cases, better than French Champagne, German Sekt, and Italian Prosecco.
@@feliscoraxI know what you're writing about, this is a common experience in the UK. I've been living in the UK for some years and had to experience that the Brits have a weird tradition in regard to German wine: That sweet rubbish you find there in the supermarkets ("Liebfrauenmilch", "Blue Nun", "Devil's Table" a.s.o.) you'd never find in Germany, it's getting especially produced for the UK market that is asking for this taste. The choice of new world wines at Tesco was in contrast to great though. The French and the Italians are just ignorant in regard to German wines, you won't find them if you don't eat at a three star restaurant. And there is the price: German red wines are either good but too expensive - or not too expensive but no good either, it's mainly a white wine culture. But I could tell the same about the Italian red wine culture and their white wines... 😉
I do not care about the pronunciation. I care about getting the facts right and the facts about the Reinheitsgebot in this video is not even close to being correct.
The Reinheitsgebot is not active any more. It was ditched in the 70's and Brewers can add anything to their brew and still call it beer. Many brewers still produce beer in the spirit of the Reinheitsgebot, but they are not held to it. Also the interpretation that "malt" is mentioned in the gebot is false. It specifically mentions barley, which means that wheat beers were technically not beer under the gebot, which is all the law stated. If you deviate, you can not call it beer, but yet under special permission brewers could.

No mention of helles or pilsener?
Kölsch, like Alt, is a very light Ale, not a lager.
O god! That's not even scrasht the surface😢
I enjoy a beer now and then the flavor the carbonation
Thanks for the interesting overview, but please consult a German speaker to help with proper pronunciation. I look forward to your other videos.
God I feel like beer
And it is the Reinheitsgebot and not the Reinheitssshhhhgebot :-)
Nun mal nicht so krüsch sein… ;) Sprichst Du alle Wörter in fremden Sprachen perfekt aus?
