![BEER Culture in Germany 🍻- [LEARN to drink like a local]](/img/tr.png)
Prost! 🍻 😁 I remember buying a sixpack in NYC and laying in Central Park everybody around us was staring at us, not to mention that we were rolling our cigarettes (which is common in Europe). They must have thought we were smoking pot and drinking beer in public, uh bad. 😂 Thankfully no cops came by.
I live in Australia once a laid back country were the beer flowed freely. Crack a beer in the park these days and unhinged karen's and other authority figures will descend on you from every direction.
Put up a European Union flag, or a barett to look frenchy, esp when you smoke. I am okay with drinking in a park as you take all trash with you.
Normally they should check for your ID if they suspect you might be under the legal drinking age. But it's more of a guessing game I feel like. If the cashier thinks you look clearly older than 16 or 18 they won't ask you, if they are not sure they will ask for your ID. But it also depends if you buy your drinks at a small Kiosk or a supermarket for example. A lot of the bigger chains like REWE or edeka will definetly ask for ID if they think you might be under the legal drinking age. I worked as a cashier myself and was instructed to thoroughly make sure not to sell alcohol to under aged people.
Actually… you may drink beer and wine officially as soon as you‘re 14.
As long as your parents are present and allow you to do so.
Well, we also mix beer with lemonade and it looked like you were not opposed to it when you took the Radler out of the office fridge.
I've made radlers in the USA plenty of times. You have to put the mixture in a water bottle to enjoy a drink in the park, not so great.
Back in the 80s I wasn’t even ID’d when me and my buddy (both 13 y/o at that time) bought a crate with beer (24 bottles) for own consumption. The manager of the store wished us well and a good thirst. Being quite loaded we even managed to return the empty bottles to the store to get the deposit back (we were on a budget at that age 😝).
Judging the American beer I can put it in a nutshell: “American beer is a lot like making love on a canoe - it’s f***ing close to water!” (Eric Idle) 😎
🤣🤣🤣
Same here!🙋🏻♂️😅😅😅
In the german town where I live, there are three breweries and a beer-park, where you can taste like hundreds of beer-types! *yeah
Fun-fact: In Germany the breweries have to follow the "Rheinheitsgebot" (en: "purity law") which was released over 500 years ago. A "Bier" may only (!) contain hops, malt and water - otherwise it's not (!) a beer. But anyhow: In Germany you'll find over 5,000 individual beer brands with different taste! So: There is a lot of beer to explore! :-) Prost!
Lots of exploring to do! Cheers
"Reinheitsgebot", nothing to do with the river Rhein (:
The Breweries don´t have to follow the "Rhreinheitsgebot". It is not a Law, but there chose to follow it. It is more of an Quality Seal that sad " I don´t Brew my beer with dirt that i found someware but with thous Three Ingredients. So it is Transparent to the Customers what he orders"
If you buy beer at a gas station it’s often half the price of a bottle water double that size... 😋🍺
When I was a teenager, I looked very young. I had to show my ID for getting beer till I was about 20
I have a cousin who works for a German company in Mexico, when he's at the factory in Germany he can drink beer during his break, when he's in Mexico they don't even have beer at work parties.
I believe you are allowed to drink beer in German trains, the trains from the Netherlands to Germany even have a bar in them.
I think just in the restaurant train section, because there are issues with people who are intoxicated e.g. hooligans after a football match
Long distance trains: yepp, both legal and even sold in the train in the Bistro or restaurant section. Yes, you may take it back to your seat if you want to. In the first class you are even served at your seat. But you should drink responsibly in trains. Don't be inebriated or a loud mouthed drunk. At the very least you will get stares if you are. The train personnel might even get you off the train if you are too belligerently drunk.
Local transit systems: that depends on the system of the city. Hamburg for example has banned drinking of alcohol at the stations or on the trams or light rail trains / U-Bahn and S-Bahn. Many other cities' transport systems have done the same. Too many cases of drunk football / soccer hooligans causing incidents on trams.
I think it may be against DB rules but not even remotely enforced. You can purchase beer at the hbf most times
Love being able to sit along the Isar with a cool 🍺, ( Dunkel Bier 😀) or in the Englischer Garten..
Find it kinda weird when visiting the States ,especially NY, where you can smoke weed freely but near-on God forbid should you wanna drink a bier on the beach or in the park.. Open Container laws and all that, always felt like that America 🇺🇸 never came out of Prohibition ?
The concept of reusing the bottles is great all in all, but it does have a downside for the breweries.
In very hot summers many breweries suffer from a shortage of beer bottles as too many aren't returned promptly after they are empty. Too many people buy a crate or two of beer but then wait for a full case of empty bottles before they return them. That may result in breweries having to overstock their consignment of empty bottles. So, please, people in Germany, return your empty beer bottles promptly. Your breweries will thank you for it.
In my youth, when the vast majority of breweries bottled beer in euro bottles and steinies bottles, the problem was almost non-existent, the breweries simply served a large pool of empty bottles, regardless of the brand. The problem began when the marketing departments came up with the stupid idea of presenting the brand not by taste, but by a special type of bottle.
Many large breweries have now their own type of bottle, where they have problems to get back in warm days.
But it seems to be getting better again, I see a lot more euro bottles today than I did 10 years ago.
Remember: only listen to marketing in an emergency case :-)
@@briocmonard1752It's also inconvenient for customers because if you use a unique bottle design, stores that do not sell it do not have to refund you the deposit. But I do think that a lot of breweries have realised that the more challanging logistics of having to get certain bottle type is not worth the benefits. In fact during the last bottle crises, I think I saw some beer that was sold in a kind of bottle normally not used by that beers manufacturer.
The restaurant and bars have a contract with the brewery. The brewery lend the glasses and many of the equiqment for free, but the bar sells the beverages from the brewery exclusiv and have to sell a certain amount per month
Lots of "Kneipen" in Germany and the "pubs" in Britain are either owned by the breweries and the landlord has rented them or they have contracts with breweries that include the use of their own glasses. The glasses of course advertise for the breweries and their products.
I also Mix beer with Fanta. Its called Leeze or more known as Radler.
This was an awesome video! We’re heading to Munich! Recommend and bier halls or bier garters.
There are some amazing Bier Gartens and Bier Halls all over Munich. I went to the main location for Augustiner-Bräu last year and it was awesome because they still pour beer from wooden kegs (Landsberger Str. 31-35, 80339 München, Germany). Have fun in Munich!
Yes, we do have a lot of small breweries and the craft-beer brewer just started. I love the US pale ales, which are outstanding and not comparable to the large US breweries (not drinkable)! Just had some Hopfmeister beer last week and it is great…so craft-beer is coming, too🍺👍
Craft beer just started? No, you can find this in Germany already for years.
@@TheKitaroHouse …when I said “just started” I meant 10 or 15 years ago😉…I already had German crafted beer many years ago, but it was still recently compared to the States. When I had my first crafted beer in the US, we had just our standard beer in Germany( don’t want to name any breweries)…and a lot good breweries closed that time (throughout Bavaria, Frankonia etc.) And it is good to see that we get a new generation of brewers to create craft 🍺
Servus! Prost! Hey mate nice video, unfortunate you left Deutschland, but im sure youll be back. I'm from New Zealand living in the country 1hr south east or something of München and have managed to learn the Dialect here and we call after work drinks Feierabend hoibe and it is definately a tradition. Also with the mixing of the beer and cola or zitronen saft is actually quite delicious. My favorite of them is the Goaßmaß,. I had mine with Weißbeir, cherry schnapps and cola and was delicious but definately powerful haha
The soda-beer hybrid still seems so wrong to me, especially coming from the country that invented the Reinheitsgebot, but I will have to try it when I return to Bavaria! Cheers mate.
In the 1950s there were even more small breweries around. The town I live in hat at that time around 30.000 inhabitants and three breweries, one of them a merger of former microbreweries, and all the neighboring towns had their own breweries. Since then we had an era of mergers and takeovers; most of the brands do belong to big conglomerates and trusts now. Some smaller brewers however survived and thrive, and there are also many new-founded microbreweries now.
there are many breweries in Regensburg and the surrounding area.
Very good choice there with the Augustiner Bräu.
thanks :)
I bought a bottle of the beer he's drinking in the beginning here in New Orleans at Total Wine and it's much smaller bottle and a different label and four times more expensive but very good it's too expensive to buy again
In my youth in Germany ID-ing was never a thing - the cashier did simply guess your age. Hard liquor was off limits, but some of my friends did often find ways to get some (for special occasions only). In the upper classes at my commercial high school (Wirtschaftsgymnasium) it was common practice to celebrate birthdays with some bottles of (mostly rather cheap) sparkling wine (as I remember, in many cases some kind of Asti Spumante) during the main break. (There were always some who did overdo it, but most did drink only one cup or so.) All of us were over 16, however.
Nowadays the checking is more strict, however. If you look younger than about 20 you will in most shops be asked to show your ID.
Thank you for sharing!
Gotta keep in mind that Munich is also a very proud "beer city" so the drinking culture is somewhat more prevalent than in other parts of the country. I was born and raised in the area called "Ruhrgebiet"and I lived there for 26 years. So all through my student years. Been in Munich now for 21 years and drinking culture here is on another level.
You missed Radler! :) Beer and citrus juice mixed. Not very strong, but very refreshing in the summer. Just be aware of that some folks (like me) will need a toilet VERY fast (think Number 2).
For other mixing, there is the U-boot. Buy a big beer (preferably a Stiefel) and a Schnaps (normally Jägermeister). Then you sink the Schnaps into the beer and drink it all up. :D
He hold ist in his hand in this video.
Fascinating stuff! I'd LOVE to see a follow up: what a German thinks about American beer culture!! 🤣🤣
There is non. 90% of american beer is awful. No drinking in public is Just annoying.
We even mix beer with a lemon flavoured lemonade. It's called "Radler" in the southern parts of Germany as bikers shouldn't be under the influence of too much alcohol, lol.
People in Hamburg call it "Alsterwasser". Whatever the name - it is VERY REFRESHING on a hot summer's day :) !
4:44 there's also eichhofener and prösslbräu here
also in munich are still the 6 last breweries where monks brew their own beer and lets hope that the world will still standing in some years, so that the oldest brewerie will celebrate their 1000th year of service
I heard the Biergärten of Munich are already opening 🙌🏼
Sehr schön.
Der sieht ja auch etwas aus wie Kevin Spacey (vor 30 Jahren).
Usually, when you're asked for ID when buying beer in Germany, the cashier is new to the job and doesn't wanna fuck up.
A Danish brewery has beautiful slogan slogan: Øl er til tørst, ikke til trøst.
It translate to: Beer is for thirst, not for solace.
I love it 🍺
Super! Cheers!
Up until the 2000s they did not call beer, specifically Weißbier, with cola a beverage.... In Bavaria at least, this was called with the old fashioned word for a person of African descent...
I have never been ID'd. Every since I was like 12 or so I could go into a store to buy beer. They would look at me a bit more closely if I wanted to buy whiskey but never did one ask for it.
also really pissed off at not being able to find a sixpack of cans lol, always just plastic bottles or waaaay too small glass bottles.
Are brewers there owned mainly by AB-InBev?
Löwenbräu and Spaten are owned by AB-Inbev. Augustiner is still privately owned.
Actually you are allowed to drink alcohol at the train, bus etc. in Germany.
Something I love about Germany!
I am German. I've never had beer with Cola. But Beer with Lemonade (Radler) or with Banana Juice (Bananenweizen)
Banana juice…. That’s a new one for me! Does it have a name?
Mate in Bayern it is still legal to have 500 ml Bier for breakfast! But just in Bavaria!
As long as it’s a Weißbier 🍺😂
Stopped drinking alcohol about more than 4 years ago! Im a occasional weedsmoker!😀
Definitely try a ColaWeizen and a KirshKeiss. I think I said the name right… I had a blast stationed over there from 1995-1998! Proßt!
Now those sound amazing, love the names xD
Admittedly, cola beer is a fairly common outrage here in Germany. Also named differently depending on the region, such as diesel, gestreifter, etc
But it has to be Coca Cola for a real diesel.
More for people who don't really like the taste of the beer, or are simply addicted to Coca Cola.
In my region (Ruhrgebiet) it's called Krefelder - don't know why. Radler is Beer+Sprite and Alster(wasser) is Beer+Fanta.
Arrount Nürnberg = Frankenland, you can find a lot smal breweries... in nearly very little town.
I live in the UK which is considerably more liberal on alcohol even than Germany, and it's always so funny seeing Americans be so shocked by it, like a giddy little kid excited for christmas
I've known several Americans in the UK over the years and drinking openly in public is always the thing that surprises them the most
beer and coke with a shot of amaretto = Dr Pepper try it out sometime... good stuff!
Bier+Cola, that's called "Diesel" or "Jauche" ('Sewage').
Yes, we are liberal with alcohol. This is very strange for an outsider. I don't remember ever being asked for my passport. But when you visit our country, you have to try our wine. Germany has a great wine culture.
When my wife bought some "Rotweincreme" there was a flashing light at the checkout as soon as the scanner had read the label. The cashier gets warned that it is a product that contains alcohol so she has to see whether the customer is old enough to buy it. I have seen that 15, 16, 17 year-olds were checked when they ( unsucessfully) tried to buy or (successfully) bought beer. It is obvious that groups of teenagers always send the oldest one of them in to get the drink for the rest. We may be liberal but we have our bureaucracy and it is no joke when the police come and take some drunken 14-year-olds home to their parents and the file gets handed over to the "Jugendamt" and that household has a record there if such a thing happens again.
Prost! Drinking on trains is a strange topic. Where i live (NRW) its allowed but Im pretty sure in some parts it'S not...but i honestly doubt it's being enforced :D Just drink a beer everywhere you go. I even go shopping with an open beer. Noone ever stopped me xD
The taste of true freedom 🍺
Here at our local supermarket they check your ID for liqueur and the hard stuff. If you're just buying beer or wine they don't care. At a gas station it's no big deal to buy a bottle of vodka at the age of 14 if you look old enough. Or at Kirchweih (idk what's that called in the US) they'll just sell beer to kids. It's common seeing drunk 12 year olds walking around with a Maß.
Beer with Coke....wasn't that only a phase back in the 90's or so? I do not know anyone, who still likes to drink this today. Beer and Lemonade is pretty common and called "Radler" in the south and "Alsterwasser" in the Hamburg region in the north. What I do prefer though, if you have to mix the beer with anything is "saures Radler" which is actually a mix of beer and sparkling water, which surely waters down the beer, but I think the beer is strong enough to still taste like beer and you can drink two of those, instead of one pure beer, when you are driving.
I discovered the saures Radler last year. Only way to survive Wiesen. It’s similar to a „session“ beer in the states for day drinking without getting too tipsy 😵💫
Hi there!
I am not going to read through all the comments and just add my thoughts here directly:
First of all, if a person behind the counter wished you "Einen schönen Tag noch", you reply "Danke, Ihnen auch" you rude :)
Regarding Workspace drinking: It's not forbidden by default, but almost every company (outside of Bavaria at least) adds strict policies to their contracts stating if you show up tipsy or even drunk, you risk at least a disciplinary warning letter (three and you're out) or even to get fired directly. And even in Bavaria, common sense often beats tradions, for example when operating heavy machinery, moving vehicles in public, working on scaffoldings etc.
Third, regarding the prohibition: Yes, we didn't have anything like it. Wouldn't have worked out for the reigning government anyways. Take the "Münchener Bierrevolution" on 1st of March 1844. King Ludwig ordered to raise the Beer price, which lead to immidiate riots. (Fun fact, the raise in price for bread beforehand was accepted reluctantly). The Military was called for help in dealing with the insurgents but they refused any given order. Some for or five days later the King intervened and reversed the price change. He even went so far to order the Hofbräuhaus in October to lower the price for beer by aprox. 23 percent, to have the workers and the military "Enjoy their well-earned drink"
My German wife is 33 and still gets ID checked to buy tobacco in Germany, but they don’t care about beer, my 15 year old son never got asked for ID to buy beer and my wife has never been asked for ID in her life, except for cigarettes.
I bought my first beer by myself with 15
No small breweries? Ok... there are 4 breweries in my neighbor village (1300 residents) 😄 There's an average of 1 brewery for 5000 residents in this area (a world record). That sure is enough variety for me ...
Yeah I noticed a few regional breweries around, depending on the town. Some seemed to have better distribution than others.
Not a bad Beer youve got there. visit "Oberfranken" in Bayern. You can drink almost any beer there and it tastes good.
My favourites around my town are:
"HELLES" - Bayreuther Hell
"DUNKLES" - Nankendorfer
"HEFEWEISSBIER" - Maisels Weisse Hefeweißbier
"PILS" - Gampert
PS: 2:23 pls never do that again :D
Pls sort the bottles for each Rack. Otherwise throw them in one by one. There are no machines to sort this. I already did this job and its so annoying if people throw in racks with different bottles or half empty racks. You have to sort out and fill everything by hand. Same with every bottle you threw in at the supermarkets. (and you have enough to do anyways)
At my former company coffee and beer was free, water wasn’t 😂
Somehow that doesn't surprise me! I have also heard there is a German law that water cannot be cheaper than beer. It sounds silly, but I also have never seen water cheaper than beer xD
I'm from Georgia (US) and since Coke is founded in Atlanta some.of us mix Sweet Tea and Coke. And y'all know the Lemonade + Sweet Tea Arnold Palmer ( which hurts me 👎🏾 bc that's just juice)
So imma mix beer and Coke and see how that's going to fare
Hard stuff you will get ID'd in a lot of places if you look underage. Also if you are like 12 and trying to buy beer.
But once you are an adult, nobody checks anymore.
Bear with cola? Never heard of that as an German.
Z.b Veltins V+ Cola , V+ Energy
I have never been asked for my ID. At my 16th Birthday i bought some beer for the pleasure of finaly beeing abel to do so (In Germany you can buy beer at the age of 16) and even then i havent been asked for a ID. Greetings from Germany
Ciao!
I still get IDed and I am 22 now. But I am quite small and look young
Yes, we do HAVE beer and cola combined as a drink. If we actually drink it, is a whole different question. I believe, I've only once seen sombody actually order it.
I have seen someone order it at a bar, I was very confused to say the least. But I believe this is normally made using a dark beer?
@@MattSuozzo i've lived here my whole life.. I honestly dont know😂 normally its just not done at all
As for IDing. Keep in mind that the drinking age for beer is 16 rather them 21. You cannot rule out with near certainty that someone in their late 20s is under 21 just by looking, but you can pretty much rule out for him or her to be under 16. If you are still look close to the critical age, you will get IDed. (In fact some unusually young looking people mention this fact when they want to point out how young they are persived.) I guess however one big part is also how exactly the legel requirements are, probably in the US you supposed to ID everybody and get in trouble if you don't, when a police sends an agend over to check or something.
As for cans, there is also a deposit on them rendering their drink and forget benefit useless and the return actually more nasty. Can drinking beer also has a kind of hard to describe stigma attached to it. As for deposit, luckily every store has to take all bottle models sold and beer usually comes in one of the few standard shapes. Collecting bottles left in the park for the deposit is also a strategy for homeless people to get a few euros.
I think mixing beer with soft drinks is not a problem when you have a good beer. It's definitely better than drinking the beer in the US what is drinkable only when it's ice cold and you don't know what's in the beer....
German beer 6 bottles drinking no headache next day US beer 6 bottles headache and stomach problems next day....
Beer and Cola is known as Diesel over here :D
You get asked for your ID ? 😂 Im 39 and I once was asked for an ID buying chocolate that had liquor in it when I was like 35. I was so confused I told the young cashier he needs to buy some new glasses and left without buying 🙈
It's so embarrassing how alcohol is dealt with in the US. They ID everyone, I remember sitting at an airport bar and they were literally ID'ing senior citizens trying to get a pint 🙄
i had to show my id alot of times when i was 16-20 hahaha
damn! I‘ve never need ID‘d here, but pretty much everytime I go back to the States I still am :-/
I only got controlled once when i was 20 and i went regularly to techno clubs but then we went to the Düsseldorf Altstadt to a 'Ballermann' Bar 🤦🏼♂️ and there they controlled my id. . .
A hint only mix Altbier with Cola to get a 'Krefelder' otherwise you get a 'Drecksack' and you'll see why it's called like that. Pretty ugly 😬
Drinking good beer straight from the bottle put me off watching this show pretty quickly. Cheers.
When a thirty year old is ID’d it usually means the store has been caught selling to an an underage person. The alcohol control board puts them on probation and makes them card everyone. Tell me which country is the home of the free.
I'm only turning 30 in a few weeks but isn't there more important things in the US than arguing about quickly handing over an ID? Stores can be shut down and people lose work for this infraction.
I remember even as a 16 year old I barely ever got ID'd
einige Biere sind nur mit Cola trinkbar ... in machen Regionen wird das Diesel genannt ... besonders beliebt ist Bier gemischt mit Zitronenlimonade ... Radler oder Alster
Genau! Von Alster have ich noch nie gehört. Ist das Nord oder Süddeutschland?
@@MattSuozzo Alsterwasser sagen wir in Norddeutschland
@@MattSuozzo czcams.com/users/shortscj0BZ-1QUnw?si=Kxpffn2EI0SH8IeM
@user-cq6wt5cz3c Danke :)
bro Augustiner is the best beer.
unless you look like a little kid they only check your ID if they are assholes(I've been buying beer since I was 14-15)
If you are afraid on mixing beer with cola, and you should, you may want to try a "Schuss" first. Its beer with a shot of maltbeer. Mostly this adds sugar like cola, but more harmonic. We call the beer cola combo "Drecksack" aka Dirtbag, because if you mix it the wrong way (I think cola first and tap beer on top) you get nasty flackes swimming in your drink.
Beer and Coke is called Diesel in the north. Greetings from Hamburg
Cheers mate!
It's not quite right...
The age to drink beer or wine is 14y
You must be 16 years or older to buy alcohol yourself
and from the age of 18 you can also buy hard alcohol
but about 1/4 had their first high before they were 14 years old
Beer for 1€/1$??? Wow, look, Mr. Rockefeller here buys expensive beer... ;)
This was a rarity for this type of video in that it was well thought out with good delivery and a lot of factual information compared to most videos of this type on YT.
BTY , i do not like German beer . it is too bitter for my taste . i miss the micro brewery sweet ales in america .
The Dunkel beers coming out in the autumn are sweeter than typical Helles lagers. Maybe I should do a other video about that. Thanks for watching :)
German beer is the best, nothing better then a rothaus pils, or a ayinger pils, or a nice hefe, or a dortmunder or a berliner weisse, 🇩🇪🍺
i am not so sure if reusing bottles is good hygienically...i noticed some people putting cigarette butts or worse into empty bottles and throw them away and needy ppl return them for the deposit...might be rare but i am still not sure if cleaning can remove all the dirt or just the psychological aspect of knowing what might was inside...
I wonder how these are cleaned and reused, how they are checked for cracks/defects and sanitized... Might make a good future video! Thanks for your comment :)
Dude, be sure, they are doing that for decades and the German food and beverage standards are top of the class.
You look older than 16. I saw plenty of people drinking beer on the U-ban. Reusing at least into the 70s here in the US. Microbreweries here don't brand their glasses because too many have developed legs. I've had many German beer and many are overrated, give me a good New England IPA. Beers you can't get are always better unti you try them. I remember how great Coors was until they started sending it here.
I think the Bavarian beers are some of the best (for lagers). Not too much with the way of Ales out here, but some micro-brews I have been to do a decent NEPA.
Please don't give the world false impressions! Even if none will ever say anything to you it is considered as bad behaviour by most of the german people when people walk everywhere around streets, busses, trains etc. showing and drinking openly alcohol in every situation. This has become a very bad habit of our youngsters in the last years and this behaviour is not welcome by the most! You can have a nice drink in every restaurant, Biergarten, Kiosk etc. at any time of the day when you stay there or no one even cares when sitting at a spot in the park, having a break and drink some beer, but walking everywhere with it when children are watching it is considered as bad behaviour and you look like an alcoholic. Strictly forbidding something has the worst outcome but allowing it controlled most people can handle it very well.
In Germany is perfectly legal to drink in public spaces, in teh US you-d have half the police department on top of you because of that.
Very true 🤣
Once your hair starts to turn grey, German employees assume that you are over age 16/18 😄
Beer with Cola is called Diesel...😂😂😂
Perfect name for it 😄
Go grampa can get you a beer without id lol
Don't worry, 80% of germans judge the 20% that actually like beer with coke.
Now that makes more sense 😂Although the longer I’ve been here the more mixes I see. Schorle and whatnot.
i guess our german mixing culture derives from the fact that most of our beers are a lot more bitter, so 16 year olds who only can drink beer and dont really like the taste will mix those, and once they turn 18 they turn to harder stuff and mix that! But until that its all about changing that bitter flavor to sweet for these youths!
Oh that is very interesting and makes a lot of sense! I finally tried a half-beer half-cola the other night. Way too sweet for me, but I can see how younger people might enjoy it.
@@MattSuozzo this is funny because I'm shocked at people that drink flavor whiskey or what are labeled malt beverages like mikes lemonades or twisted teas. Beer can definitely come in sweeter varieties though and seems to be the trend in craft breweries at the moment like smoothie sour or stouts with added flavor. Even hazy IPA or wheat beer are usually fruitier in flavor but sometimes too sweet as well. An example of popular wheat beer at the moment in california at least is mango cart and the other "cart" beers from golden road brewing. Hard seltzer also started getting attention from younger drinkers, so craft breweries have to make some of these as well. Another example is california's brewery X seltzers which have a lot of fruit.
wait, youre telling me its illegal to drink in public in the us
Yup, it sucks. It's regulated by the state/city so some areas it might be okay (New Orleans and Vegas come to mind) but 99% of places it's a no-no. Can get a ticket/fine for it :-/
Plastic clear cups ....I'd at least pour and enjoy your beer here !
You made a really big Mistake in the beginning. When she said "schönen Tag noch" you are obliged to respond with "ebenfalls!" haha
u know about the german "reinheitsgebot" @ beer?⁉️
Natürlich!
You get ID'd in German stores if you look to be below 25/30 years old. It is the law. If you want to get to the really dark side of German beer, try Schwarzbier (best where it is being brewed which is mainly Thuringia)
i dont get id'ed and im 16
Bavaria Bier ist das zweit beste Bier wenn du das Beste Bier willst komm nach Düsseldorf hier bekommst du das Beste Bier im Universum😁🍻🇩🇪🤘🏻
Wer Spülwasser lecker findet, der fährt freilich nach Düsseldorf oder Köln. Wer hingegen hervorragendes Bier trinken möchte, der fährt nach Franken: Mehr als 300 Brauereien auf kleinster Fläche sprechen eine deutliche Sprache.

Beer with cola only goes well with Weißbier. Also try Weißbier + Banana juice. Really nice, trust me! And there are also mixed drink recipes for Maß mug e.g. Laternenmaß, Goaßmaß... this guy made nice videos about it: czcams.com/video/NzyMRLS5D5I/video.html

America has to many laws. But more people die in drunk driving.
Sadly there is very little in the way of public transit in the US :-/
Guys , tell us about real good beer. Not the German ordinary ones 😂
USA is all messed up, Germany makes more sense - I am an American citizen an my grandfather was German . I am retired but NOT proud to be American.
Geht doch nichts über ein Frühstücksbier.
