      Absolutely on that 10/10. I drink that beer on a regular basis. I only drink beer from Europe. Some Czech and some from Poland but the vast majority is German. Huge thanks to Weihenstaphner for making such awesome pure beers. American beer sucks. Bud and Miller ruin everything they get their greedy hands on. I tried the gauntlet of craft beer and grew tired of paying $20 for someone’s gimmicks and stupid names for the beer. All I wanted was a really really well done beer and I found them in Europe.

      yeah, to be honest they would be bound by their local supplier if they can get the beers in glass bottles. The "Helles" have a harder time , while the "Hefeweizen" for me doesn't degrade at all in a can and even makes it easy for novice drinkers, because the "Hefe" should be better mixed in a can. A good "Helles" or "Vollbier" will be drinkable out of the bottle, "Hefeweizen" should always be served in an appropriate glass.

      Actually, Can is the 2nd best way to enjoy beer after draft. The idea that beers keep better in bottles is not true, and you can find quality beers nowadays from unique breweries in cans. Exception may be Trappist beers because the bottling is part of the last fermentation cycle of a tripel.

    it's Hefe-Weissbier. That means, there's yeast (Hefe) in it. It set down at the bottom. You always have to pour the entire can / bottle and shake up the last bit with the yeast on the bottom. You missed half of the experience by drinking it clear.
    Also, you're drinking export quality batches there. Paulaner Hefeweißbier is very average, export quality is below that. You really should get your hands on the real thing.

      That's about right. In northern Germany, people drink more pilsner than Bavarian lager or wheat beer. I personally don't like Becks, there are much better beers in northern Germany, but they were the first to export it worldwide. I think most Becks is drunk abroad by German vacationers when there is no good local beer 😉.
      By the way - his sentence "It's drinkable" is already considered a compliment in Germany. 🤣

    Hallo from Germany! You guys reacted so lovely! I also adore the generational aspect.
    Hefeweizen is poured in a particular way: the glass is held at as much of an angle as possible to delay the formation of foam for as long as possible. Before all the beer is in the glass, the bottle or even the can is swirled back and forth to loosen the yeast from the bottom. Then pour it into the glass together with the last of the beer.
    Best Wishes from Kiel^^

    You did quite a good selection for this video, as you picked three totally different kinds of beers.
    Weihenstephaner Helles is a light (colored) beer, typically smooth in taste and quite süffig (drinkable).
    Paulaner Weißbier is a "white beer" or wheat beer which is brewed from different ingredients. There is two types of wheat beers, so called crystall wheat beer and yeast wheat beer and you most probably tasted the latter. This is also where the cloudy coloring of the beer comes from.
    Becks is a typical Northern German Pilsener beer which has a distinctive and characteristic bitterness.
    These three types cover the majority of beer types in Germany, although there are additional types like dark beer and smoky beer as well.

      True, this are 3 totally different kinds of beer, regulary you cant compare them to each other. And, if its possible, you should get the beers in bottles. Especially the wheat beer, youve special beer glasses for it and you dont put it at once in such a glas. you shake/turn the last bit of the beer in the bottle and pour it then into the glas, to get the yeast from the bottom.

    German Hefeweizen, or wheat beer, is known for its cloudy appearance due to the presence of yeast and proteins. Unlike many other beer styles that undergo filtration to remove these particles, Hefeweizen is intentionally left unfiltered. The yeast, along with proteins from the wheat malt, remains suspended in the beer, creating a hazy or cloudy look.
    This characteristic cloudiness is not a flaw but rather a defining feature of Hefeweizen. It contributes to the beer's unique flavor profile, imparting a refreshing and fruity taste. The yeast also adds a slight effervescence, making it a favorite among beer enthusiasts.
    So, in essence, the haziness of German Hefeweizen is a deliberate choice by brewers to enhance the beer's taste and mouthfeel.
    Becks is from the north of Germany and is known for its bitterness or tartness which is quite popular among the coastal people in the north.

    Great selection of beers.
    The "Helles" is a very popular type of beer in southern Germany and Austria, it's also what is usually at the Oktoberfest (and similar events) in a "Maßkrug". (A "Maßkrug" will fit two of those cans)
    It has a mild flavor and is therefore considered as the smallest common denominator be some. Depending on the brewery the flavor profile can vary from complex or simple. If you mix equal parts of "Helles" and Sprite (or similar) you'll get what we call a "Radler". It's great on a hot summer day.
    The second one is a type called "Weizen" or sometimes "Weißbier" and mostly popular in southern Germany. Its made from wheat instead of barley which gives it a very unique flavor. Unlike most other beers the yeast is not removed after brewing, which gives it that cloudy look and also contributes to the taste. On special occasion people will drink it alongside their "Weißwurstfrühstück" for breakfast. It consists of fatty, mild boiled sausages that are eaten with sweet mustard and fresh pretzels from a bakery on the side.
    Fun Fact: The "Weizen" ist actually the reason the "Reinheitsgebot" was invented. When it was invented in the middle ages the idea was that people shouldn't waste ht valuable wheat on beer and instead should only use the cheaper barley. So with the "Reinheitsgebot" the ingredients for beer were limited to water, yeast, barley and hops. It's not legally binding anymore, so "Weizen" can be sold as beer, but you can't its brewed according to the "Reinheitsgebot". Which is still a marketing term many brewers like to use for their other beers.
    The (green) "Beck's" is brewed in the style of a "Pils" or "Pilsener". From what I was told most beers in the US are "Pilsner" or brewed very similar. It's typically made with a more hops than other beers, which gives it that bitter flavor.
    The three beers are all from industrial size breweries. They are definitely not bad, but if you'd ask a German they would likely describe it as "nothing special". The micro brewery trend has never caught on in Germany, because we have had something similar way before that. Pretty much everywhere you are in Germany there will be a couple of small to medium sized breweries, they usually only supply supermarkets in a 10-30 mile radius. If you'd ask any German what their favorite beer is, their answer would likely be a beer from one of their local breweries.
    If you can, try one of these. They often have a more complex flavor and generally higher quality. The best thing is the beers from these small breweries cost about the same as the beers from the bigger brands. It's pretty much the same for Austria as well. Many small breweries with affordable, high quality beer.

      Mittlerweile bekommt man auch in Berlin in jedem Spätkauf Augustiner, Bayreuther etc. Zum Glück. Am Anfang war das echt ein Problem und das was Hellem am nächsten kam war Sternburger Export... Wenn man in der Kneipe Fassbier bestellt, bekommt man meist immer noch Pilsener in 0,5 Liter Gläsern... Das werde ich nie verstehen. Nach 2,5 Liter Pils und ein paar Zigaretten hab ich ein heftigeres Pappmaul als wie nach 5 Bongköpfen. Helles hat definitiv seine Daseinsberechtigung, ist in der Kneipenkultur, außerhalb von Bayern, jedoch noch stark unterrepräsentiert.
      Alles in allem merkt man stark, dass du in Bayern lebst und auch wenn bayrische Kulinarik das ist, was meistens in anderen Ländern mit deutscher Ess- und Trinkkultur asoziiert wird solltest du nicht vergessen, dass nördlich vom Weißwurstäquator nieman Weißwurstfrühstück macht und es denn meisten Leuten ziemlich auf den Keks geht, dass im Ausland gedacht wird Deutsch = Bayrisch...
      Und ich kenne die Begründung des Reinheitsgebots auch so, dass die Leute früher alle möglichen Nachtschattengewächse wie Bilsenkraut, Tollkirsche etc. ins Bier gepanscht haben und die Leute reihenweise abgedreht sind. Hat auch mit Agrarwirtschaft und Steuern zu tun, aber grundsätzlich kann man das Reinheitsgebot als erstes Lebensmittelgesetz sehen, das heute bei allen Konsumwaren gilt, insbesondere bei Medikamenten. Du bekommst was drauf steht und nicht weniger oder zusätzlich dazu irgendeinen Blödsinn denn man nicht haben will.

      Ein paar Anmerkungen zu deiner Ausführung:
      1. Der Style des BJCP 10A Weissbier, 10B Dunkles Weissbier und 10C Weizenbock hat sowohl von der BJCP, als auch vom Bayrischen Reinheitsgebot die Vorgabe aus mindestens 50% Weizenmalz eingemaischt worden zu sein. 100% Weizenmalz in der Schüttung wird keine Brauerei mitmachen, da Weizenmalz keine gute Diastatik hat und sich die Maische fast nicht läutern lässt und eine große Brauerei damit fast 0% Prozesssicherheit hat. Des Weiteren wird Weizenbier traditionell durch Flaschengärung karbonisiert, das bedeutet das fertig endvergorene Bier wird mit einer kleinen Portion Zucker in die Flasche gefüllt und verschlossen. Die kleine Zuckerportion (Bei Weizen ca. 6-10g/l) sorgt dafür, dass die noch im Bier vorhandene, lebende Hefe wieder aktiv wird und den Zucker in Ethanol und CO2 umwandelt. Das entstehende CO2 kann dadurch, dass die Flasche verschlossen ist nicht entweichen, was den Flaschendruck erhöht und das CO2 zwingt in Lösung zu verbleiben. So entsteht auch nach Vergärung des verbleibenden Karbonisierungszuckers der kleine Hefeteppich am Flaschenboden. Andere Biere werden zwangskarbonisiert und mit Gegendruckabfüllung in die Flasche gebracht, was eine Nachgärung überflüssig macht.
      2. Das Reinheitsgebot existiert erst seit 1918, alles was es davor gab waren "Brauverordnungen" und insbesondere die Brauverordnung von der du sprichst, im Zusammenhang mit Weizenbier hat nichts mit Qualität, oder Verschwendung von Weizen zu tun. Es war viel mehr der erste Fall von Monopolisierung durch Vetternwirtschaft bei Bier.
      Albrecht V, Sohn von Wilhelm IV, nutzte die Brauverordnung um allen das Brauen mit Weizen zu verbieten, mit Ausnahme der Adelsfamilie Degenberg. Somit lag die Produktion und der gesamte Gewinn im Weizenbier-Markt in der Hand einer einzigen Familie und das mit dem besten Segen des Herzogs.
      3. Die meißten in den USA industriell hergestellten Biere sind BJCP 1A American Light Lager und 1B American Lager und haben im Grunde nichts mit einem 5D German Pilsner zu tun.
      4. Der Mikro- und Kleinbrauerei Trend ist in Deutschland so stark wie nie zuvor. Während alteingesessene Industrieproduzenten um ihren Gewinn bangen, haben in den letzten 5 Jahren so viele umsatzstarke Mikrobrauereien aufgemacht wie noch nie zuvor.

    You got a good taste for liking the Hefeweizen! Wheat beer is very very famous in southern Germany but also across the whole country. Paulaner Hefeweizen is my personal favorit as well.
    Prost und Grüße from Frankfurt, Germany and thanks for your very entertaining videos!
    If you got a chance to get your hands on some Landbier, preferable by Mönchshof you may wanna give it a try! It's not as famous but rather sweet and easy to drink.
    And if you wanna go real crazy try German Cider from Hessen. It's called Apfelwein (apple wine) and is exceptionally sour, many people mix it 1/3 with sparkling water. It's a local delicacy.

    Never had the Weihenstephaner Helles (a clear beer) but rather the Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier and the Kristall Weissbier. The Kristall is the clear filter version of the hefeweissbier, and it's a bit lighter where the unfiltered beer is a bit heavier in taste.
    I still recommend you to try these two different Weihenstephaners. Especially the Hefeweissbier is mostly sold around here in Europe.
    Also add the Franziskaner Weissbier, as that's also good.

    Weizen is pretty much completely different from pils or lager, it uses a different kind of yeast and a different type of grain (Weizen or wheat instead of Gerste or barley) - or at least as different as the German Reinheitsgebot/purity law allows. There are a lot of different yeasts, but there are two major categories. One rises (obergärig - roughly translated: top-fermenting), one drops down to the bottom (untergärig, bottom-fermenting). Traditional beers - like Weizen or "White-Beer", as it's also called, often used obergärige Hefe (top-fermenting yeast) in the somewhat distant past, because it likes somewhat higher temperatures and didn't need to be cooled (as much). Which was a bit harder in the past, having no electrical refrigeration. For bottom fermenting beers, you had to have cool cellars. And winter, preferably.
    This is why "Weizen" is both a top-fermenting beer and a traditional summer drink - because you could also brew and enjoy it when it was warmer. There are some other traditional beers that were bottom fermenting, but those often had to be brewed during the winter, because it would go bad otherwise. Märzen (from März, as in the month march) had to be brewed in (or rather before) März (march), hence its name. It's the traditional Octoberfest-beer. Compared to the "Helles" (pale lager, Bavarian edition; which is also bottom-fermenting) it's a little more thicc, more malty, a little more potent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4rzen
    Another traditional "obergäriges Bier" or top-fermenting beer is Kölsch btw. And it also tastes a lot different as pilseners/lagers do.
    Of course, that all doesn't apply anymore, and you can get either type of beers whenever you like today. And of course there are regional differences. Bavaria - right in the south - being kind of the capital of "Weizen" (and Märzen, but so are some surrounding countries like Austria/Czech Republic, maybe more so today) while the north has more pilseners and stuff - but that also might be because of temperature and traditions. Btw. Can you smell banana when sniffing a Weizen? I almost always do - which seems weird. But you can actually drink your Weizen with Bananas, it's somewhat common in Germany. And it does taste pretty good. czcams.com/video/Q5lYwaYkhOE/video.html
    The different yeasts also "eat" or convert different sugars and stuff, so a different yeast can make your beer taste quite different. It might affect the sourness, but I suspect some of the Paulaners "citrusy" comes from the type of hops they used. There are some kinds that taste a bit like citrus (other ones are bitter or tardy, some fresh, some flowery - there are lots of different types/strains). A somewhat known US strain is actually named for that: www.hopslist.com/hops/dual-purpose-hops/citra/
    (though German brewers tend to call it "jack-of-all-trades, master of none")'
    Prost!

    @hunter81179 Před 3 měsíci +101

    greetings from germany, i really enjoyed the video.
    just some remarks:
    1. good choice, you hit the three main types of beer. becks is called pils or pilsener. it is a very typical beer in the north of germany and mostly on the more bitter side. helles is typical for the southern part and on a steep uprise in consumption allover germany. those are sweeter and „süffig“ (easily drinkable). weizen or also called weißbier (white beer) is a specific type of brewing technique. it has a lot of calories and makes hungry more than the other ones so you start eating salty and fatty foods. so be aware it makes you gain some pounds… 😉
    2. weizen has a very polarizing type of taste. i do not like it but people who enjoy it usually do only drink this type of beer.
    3. try to get some „bock bier“. alcohol gets up to 7 or 8 % and those beers do have a very wide range of tastes. some are more citrus / peach like flavours and some taste more like dark chocolate / plums. best ones are made in a brewery in the small city of einbeck, called „einbecker“. you should definitely try to get your hands on that stuff they are just awesome.
    cheers and PROST! 😀

    • @hunter81179
      @hunter81179 Před 3 měsíci +1

      well, pils differs a lot, i think. if you compare jever to krombacher it is a completely different taste. usually beer in green bottlea is more hoppy (is that the word?) and beer in brown bottles is more malty.
      people who like helles usually tend to malty pils in brown bottles. it is less bitter. nevertheless the „green bottle beers“ are very suitable for hot summer barbecues. i highly recommend „einbecker brauherren pils“. it has a very fine hop-taste with some light lemon flavour. even more lemonish is „einbecker hanse bock“ that beer is absolutely worth trying! unfortunately it is very hard to get even in the region.
      in the winter i recommend „einbecker winter bock“ and beer in brown bottles in general. if i‘d make a beer tasting winter bock and hanse bock would definitely be on the list.
      maybe you try those?

    I loved your reaction to the wheat beer. Very heartwarming. I see this often with people having wheat beer for the very first time, and I guess that is because it is so different from the beer most people are used to.
    Also, even though most likely by accident, I think your Beer choices were pretty good. While all brands may not be the very best choice for each type of beer, you had a Pilsner, a Wheat beer, and a Helles which is a really good first step to understanding German beer culture.

    If you ever have the chance to get your hands on a Rauchbier (smoked beer), especially from Bamberg, you have to try it. It’s made by smoking the hops and that’s giving the beer an exceptional taste.
    It’s also an window to the medieval Europe, back then almost all beers where smoked beers because they needed to dry the hops and the easiest way was to smoke it. After the Industrial Revolution smoked beer almost disappeared only in Bamberg they still made smoked beer. So you could say that it’s truly medieval beer.
    Fun fact: in the medieval times even children drank beer all the time because it was cleaner than water and thus healthier.

  • @haribo836

    Some background on the beers you drank. The first one, Weihenstephaner Helles is what they call a Märzen, after the month March. Back in the middle ages brewers in Bavaria weren't allowed to fire their wood burning kettles during summer in the cities because of the fire hazard. So they brewed a lot of filtered, bottom fermenting beer in March that they could keep during the summer in the beer cellar underneath the beergardens, then in September start brewing again, open the doors to the beer cellar to raise the temperature and let the leftover Märzen become a nice strong beer ready for a certain party in October.
    The second, Paulaner Hefe Weizen is a traditional Bavarian unfiltered, top fermenting wheat beer. The wheat apposed to barley gives it it's cirtus note. The yeast gives the beer it's solid body and almost gives you the feeling of having had a sandwich after finishing your beer. The Hefeweizen is probably one of the most recognizable traditional Bavarian beer styles. Märzen is for sure traditional, but most areas in Europe will have similar lager style beers, the Hefeweizen is considered it's own category in the beer world, with for example a Kristalweizen (filtered) part of that category.
    Becks is just an export German Pilsner, so a lager, hopped, filtered. Refreshing beer, but not much special, a Heineken or so, brewed for the global market that is gonna be ok everywhere. If you want to try a good German style pilsner, see if you can get Trumer pils. It's Austrian, but wins the beer worldcup consistently in that category.

      As for the choice of Paulaner, I think they didn't have a lot of choice. Especially unfiltered beers are quite risky to transport over huge distances, as the yeast inside can react badly to big air pressure and temperature changes. That plus that the US health and safety laws for a long time didn't even allow "living" beers to be imported, so a lot of companies simply don't have their networks set up, and by the time the borders went open, the micro brew scenery started to develop and saturated the market.

    Greetings from Upper Franconia (in the north of Bavaria). Nice to see you testing German beer. The first beer ("ein Helles") is, in my opinion, a tasty, mild beer. With the second beer ("Hefeweizen") it is important to stir up the "Hefe" that has settled at the bottom of the can (or bottle) a bit at the end. With the third beer (I suspect it is brewed in the style of a "Pils") it is actually the case that beers from the north of Germany are a bit bitter. A little tip: depending on the type of beer, there are different beer glasses that we use. - Anyway, it was very nice to see the video. Keep it up! Stay healthy! Greetings from Germany!

    Paulaner has been available from Aldi here in Australia a couple of times each year. For around the 'October Fest' time they had both bottles and these 500mL cans of HefeWeizen, but a bit earlier in the year had also ' Kristal Weizen' with 0% alcohol. Kristal = Crystal is for a filtered clear version of the Wheat beer. I find it is best as a cool drink, refreshment for those really hit summer days 30°C to 40°C, so up to over 100°F. At 0% also quantity to drink is safe, as no ways do you get drunk, can consume it on hot days and still be safe driving.
    At other times thecakcoholic versions go well with afternoon barbeques. Presuming no driving later, as with 5% and up alcohol it is not too big volume to put you in trouble for DUI. especially as 0.5L or even 1L are typical glass volumes.
    Both the Hefe (Yeast) version and the Kristal(Crystal) clear types are good, but as pure refreshment I like the clear over the cloudy versions. To me wheat beer is my preffered type for pure refreshment, other times I prefer "Pils" beers, but I steer clear of the like of 'Becks', of course you have little choice, needing to get what limited types you can get in US retail. I currently have 4 bottles and 8 cans of the Paulaner HefeWeizen and also 6 bottles 0% Kristal Weizen for our summer, sadly so far we have few days into high 30°C range, so not had much yet, just keeping some cold and ready.
    In Germany about any village has own brewery, so there are hundreds of brands, and each part of Germany will have own major brands. Depending where you are will determine what major brands are most common. There are also many styles of beer, including some rather great special beers, including some like BOCK and DOUBLE BOCK, the latter being a stronger alcohol version of BOCK, with from memory well over 20% alcohol. BOCK is a thicker dark Meade like beer. Originally invented by monks for "Lent" fasting, where eating is forbidden but drinking allowed. On the rich BOCK beer they typically gained weight during the Lent fasting.
    Beer flavours do vary. The one feature throughout Germany, only the basic 4 ingredients are allowed, a about 400 year old fixed rule. NO FUNNY ADDITIVES, bittering agents colour, stabilisers, preservatives, no chemical additives period. Nothing but pure water, hops, yeast, and relevant grain

    Your favorite Beer was not just the Paulaner, it was the Hefeweizen Beer in generally. BTW: Weihenstephan not only makes Helles, they also have a very good Hefeweizen in their product line. Hefeweizen itself comes also in different types. I think, you had the "naturtrüb" ( engl. cloudy), it also comes in "Kristall" ( engl. clear) and "Dunkel" (dark). If you like Paulaner Hefeweizen and you can find the dark version of it in the US, you should definitely try it.

    Paulaner Hefeweizen is a different type of beer than the others, its a yeast wheat (Hefe and Weizen) beer instead of hops and malt. Normally you have to pour the whole bottle and pan the last bit for the yeast to get into the glas. It's almost a meal because of the thickness. I dont like Weizenbier that much, but on a hot day its great with lemonade after hiking. Best one in my opinion, is Eichbaum Ureich, a bitter but also slightly sweet Premium Pils.

But here in Germany the Becks is a mild Pils. There's much more bitter Pils here like Holsten or Jever.

It's an intensely hoppy beer with double the amounts of well.., everything. Hops, malt, as well as alcohol content (around 12%). The monks drank Doppelbock during Lent, which is why it's also called a “meal in a glass”. It’s a full-bodied, rich, and malty lager.

    The first one (Weihenstephaner) was a so called "Helles", the second one (Paulaner) was a "Weizen" or "Weissbier" and then last one (Becks) was a "Pils".
    Depending on the area in Germany those types are more or less popular. In Munich, Bavaria or more general, in the south of Germany you mostly have Weissbier and Helles. In the northern area Pils is more popular.
