The Rheinbacher got me through the bloody Lockdown ..
Lockdown? I never saw it, busy working 😮
Same here mate. Did trips to Aldi on my motorbike every week. Bought the cans though. Really got me through lockdown
Yeah really got me through lockdown yeah through lockdown really Got me through
Lidl it is tomorrow thank you
@@graeme1015Didn't they change it for the worse and start brewing it in France instead of the Fatherland?
Spot on here about the German beer purity laws. There's some rubbish sold in the UK, but that's not the German pilsners sold by Aldi and Lidl.
"Your Daily Drivers for beer" might not be the best metaphor mate 😆 Great video as always...
I'd like to see consistent glassware used across the reviews. 🍺 You can merchandise a pack of the pint glasses you use -Love the energy you bring
Proper pilsner glasses used in this video 👍
These comparison videos are bloody wonderful!
We need a battle of the Aldi v Lidl weissbier! It’s 1-0 can Lidl come back Simon! 😂
U beat me to that. I prefer the Lidl one so I’d be interested in Simons view.
Look forward to that one! 👍
I love the Aldi Weiss bier I think for the money it’s fantastic would love to see a vs battle
I think the Netto Weizen (Falkenfelser) is the best... But their Schloss Weizen is crap...
I was in Rotterdam last week 500ml can of Weissbier in Lidl €0.65
'beer o clock on real aircraft beer'. I love subtitles. Great series - cheers!
First stumbled across Perlenbacher about ten years ago, when they were on offer for £3.99 for a six pack. Very good beer for the price. I'm sure they were 5% back then.
Still a very refreshing brew on a hot day. I wouldn't swap it for a UK brewed lager.
I think from Aldi the best they do is Steinhauser, which I believe is made by Dortmund Aktien Brewery. For £4.50ish for 6 bottles it's really good stuff. Another good video, keep them coming mate cheers 🍻
Agreed, can't beat a Steiny and they have quite a dry taste really, less sweet than Rheiny
Respect for not wasting a single drop pouring those bottles 😂😂😂
I've got splinters in my arse from sitting on the fence but both of these beers are amazing for the price point. Really good for the money, and consistent. I'll happily buy and drink both depending where I shop that week. Massively better than the Carling, Fosters etc which all taste soapy and chemically to me. Great review and I agree with the comment about matching glasses. You need Merch!
Great comment mate. I've been on the fence, and still remain upon it. Splinters apparent too! It depends what mood I'm in as to which beer I prefer 👍🏼
Great review, thanks. I’ve just picked up a 4 pack of 500ml Rheinbacher cans from Aldi off the back of this. Going to crack them open this evening.
Love this. Always like a budget beer review especially easy to find in lidl or aldi. More please ❤
I started drinking beer at home a couple of years ago when they closed the pubs during lockdown. So part of the reason for my conversion was imposed and that left a bad taste. A bad place to start for sure. My regular beforehand was Heineken and occasionally a stout, Murphys or Beamish. However, the supermarkets shelves were strained with the best available at different price points and I had money to spend. I had a taste for beer honed over decades and the thirst that goes with it. Time moves along and I now happily settled as a home drinker of Reinbacher, by the neck (by the way) and which I can commend with the certain authority that my age and lifelong drinking habits bestow. I miss the baloney and meeting people for sure, the public house was a great invention no doubt, but time is not on my side and having coin left over is no harm either. Thank you for your video, to my mind we are the winners because these companies are providing good beer at affordable prices. Best.
Really enjoying these videos. Keep up the great work.
Enjoying a rheinbacher right now. One of my favourites and such good value. Cheers Simon 🍺
Great review! I used to drink both of these beers and thought they were a big step above the competition.
For me the Rheinbacher tastes better by a long shot, especially more so when very cold, if I'm not mistaken by my research, the Perlenbacher Pilsener is brewed in France.
Last September after a hot afternoon helping my mate clear his front garden he gave me a Rheinbacher and I was well impressed. Also like the Perlenbacher. For me the price is the main issue. Also Im not close to an Aldi so Perlenbacher is more likely to be in my fridge. Both certainly beat the "fake foreign" macro lagers produced by the multinational brewers.
Great review mate. Keep up what you're doing. Brilliant content
I'm currently drinking the Rheinbacher but from the can, £3.29 for 4 cans is a no brainer! Will have to get some of the Perlenbacher to test it as I prefer the bottles :)
I'm going to with the Perlenbacher (in the green bottles as they changed the cans last year and its not as good) ,precisely for that additional maltiness. I'm having one now, and I'm also getting the Saaz hops grassy aroma and flavout too. £1.29 is outrageous really, but then I remeber when it was 99p for the 500ml bottle.
I was buying these at 89p - thought outstanding beer for the money. At £1.29 I guess is consistent with the rest of retail - going up!..
Keep the comparisons coming 💪🏼
Just recently started drinking the Rheinbacher as my daily refresh and I really like it. The canned version doesn't taste as good as the bottled in my opinion - what do people think? BTW I am no expert.
I think the Perlenbacher in cans is better, but I just hate anything in green bottles so might be my bias. Think the ABV is lower in the canned version though
@@MylesHSG
Yeah I think it's 4.5 %
Yeah I must admit I prefer the canned beer. Nice and cold it's hard to beat for me 👌
Gotta try the Rheinbacher next time I`m back home in Germany!
I had found the Lidl one but now I am going to buy the Aldi one. You described the taste perfectly and I completely understand what you mean about clinical. Great video mate.
I don't find either outstanding lager, (I think the Aldi one is a little better)but I think they are a little more tasty than the UK brewed beers like Stella you've reviewed, slightly dryer, more authentic lager.
I think for the £1.29 they are good value
Great review. Please Si get the same glasses. These comparison vids are great. Getting beers in the same ball park, but get the same glasses! Cheers!
Fantastic review you have answered my question as I buy both for the life of me I cannot pick a favourite so thank you again sir 🍺🍺🍺
I drink both of those very regularly, and St Etienne from Lidl as well
love your vids. I'm from Scotland and drink a lot of beers and whisky and I'm curious what is your fav beer? I have tried a lot of new beers only because of your vids. Thanks
Why do I NEED your opinion!!! I love it!!
I bought the Perlenbacher tonight from this video and on first pour it was full of life but after a while the head soon went down to nothing. I was drinking in a lager glass too.
Was your glass beer clean , cause if not , the beer will go flat easily. Cheers 🍻
Great review yet again Simon , had the beer many times and is a fantastic 🍺👍
Isn’t this good, clean fun?
What a nice and enjoyable concept and video. Love it.
Liking these Vs videos!
Perlenbacher for me, a fantastic beer for the money. Rheinbacher is still good but it's all personal taste. Cheers 🍻
Same here. Do your Lidl sell them 500ml or 440ml cans? I'm just asking because I was on holiday in Devon and they sold it in 500ml cans and I never saw it again lol
@grindatron yes they do here both 500ml cans and bottles. 🍺
@@Class68driver brilliant! Thank you for your reply. hopefully they'll start doing that in that north east soom
Reinheitsgeböht is the keyword
Every German beer is good, even from a small town local brewery, which some Germans might despise.
I wouldn't drink or like beer until I discovered German beers in Paderborn.
Paderborner Gold - loved that stuff.
I think most Germans like their local town brewery. Certainly in Speyer where I used to live (check the Domhof, which brews its own beer) or the brewery/pub/Kneipe in central Freudenstadt which makes its own beer.
@@Bowl_of_roses
Agreed.
But there may be a few snobs who don't like to admit it!
We only have lidl where I live but I love a perlenbacher. Definitely nicer than most lagers. Need to get some aldi in my life.
Never had the Aldi pils, but only because we never go to Aldi. But the Lidl Perlenbacher I drink often. For the price I think it's a great beer.
This is the ine we've all been waiting for! 😁
Rheinbacher back when it was 4.8% or 5% (memory escapes me) and was unbelievably good
It was really good. Much more crisp than the new version
Agreed. I stopped buying it when they dropped the ABV. Just resent that kind of move
Used to be beaut
@@MarcHenshall I'd rather they just charged more rather than reduce the abv but I suppose they would argue its not what they are about. It needs to be "budget".
@@Adam-eh1qd Damn government booze duty…
Drinking a Perlenbacher now because of your recommendation. It’s a decent enough beer , reminds me of Spaten Pilsner
Yep German beers top . Int northan Italy lots younger people 30s who worked in Germany have come back in last 25 years have been making home made beer in German and Belgium stile in micro breweries in old farm / stable houses in rural country side . As a Brit with Italian ancestry it’s heaven just heaven good beers just subscribed 🎉
I bought the Perlenbacher yesterday and have been drinking it now during your review. I encounter the maltiness and bitterness you describe, which is not to my taste. I wouldn't say it's as good as the other German style budget beers I've tried out, but I respect your enthusiasm for it. I'll try the Rheinbacher next. Meanwhile I've been getting through 100 bottles of Lowenbrau (I've 60 left) - now that's what I call 9 out of ten!
When I lived in Germany, our go to beer was crates of bittburger. Cheap as chips, and got you a very lovely glow.
And what was great, if you took all the bottles back in the crate, you got your next crate cheaper. Brilliant.
While googling the beers, I noticed that both of them are brewed in France.
I like both of them to be honest, both a good value drink in the summer
Theres nothing not to like about either beer. Lovely ,esp with the warm weather we are enjoying. I cant really choose between the two, the price is excellent for a quality product. Think someone else mentioned Steinhauser at Aldi, whiich is very Becks like.
The real ales are spot on at both too.
Great vid.
Defo noticeable that theres no crap in them either. Esp morning after.
Very informative & I will buy 5 of each this week.
Just drinking a cold Aldi Pilsner in the sunshine. Very nice for the price.Might follow up with a Proper Job from Aldi.
Love 0.68€ in Spain now excited to try the perlenbacher
Thanks for this review..i need to try the aldi one...
I think both are good, but the Perlenbacher in cans is my fav.
Hello, just found your channel and we like it intact drinking aldi Rheinbacher Beer 🍺 while I'm watching this video
I'm going to lidl today so Def gonna pick one of them up
I like both too and have for years, but I have to buy it in bottles not in cans 🍾
Spot on as usual!👍
I always preferred the bottled Graffenwalder to the Perlenbacher that replaced it. Thing is if you go back a bit further alongside the Graffenwalder they used to sell 500mm cans of Bitburger for 60p a can, boy those were good days, their cheap beer is now sold as a premium beer in the big UK supermarkets. This was back when Michael Schumacher's Benetton had "Bitburger" across his rear wing.
Grafenwalder was great. Perlenbacher is pants. I basically stopped shopping at Lidl.
@@firstlast5350
Yeah, Graffenwalder was the one, shame they stopped selling it. I supposed they could no longer source it for the price and replaced it with a cheaper product, certainly tastes like it.
Wayyyy I was waiting for the stinging nettle
Quick question… what do you now do once you’ve opened two beers? Do you drink then one by one? Or do you take a sip of each one by one until they both cease to exist? Intrigued!
Two to try 😋
Rheinbacher at 4.5% ABV I would personally classify as a medium to strong Pilsner, however this lager is available in a four 50cl can pack at £3.50 at Aldi that is little more than £0.87p per can. So much less expensive than £1.29p for the bottled version. I've tried the two and can't tell the difference. OK, this may not set the World alight, such as Proper Job IPA, although being a totally different style of beer but Rheinbacher is a reasonable inoffensive lager for such a nominal price. I like it.
Rheinbacher was a lover pilsner 5 years ago but it's long since lost its quality and I only buy it for it's cheapness(even that's less appealing now due to its price rise).
Also there seems to be 50% of it emitting a gassy/eggy smell these days.
Perlenbacher is ok but it has less flavour than Rheinbacher, a bit watery almost.
I found the perlenbacher less pilsnery and more lagery but very drinkable. The rheinbacher was flat out of the can and didn't get much of the flavours talked about in this video. I was disappointed but what can you expect for less then £1 a can these days I guess.
I haven't bought the Rheinbacher since the drop in percentage. Anyone read the articles shrinkflation to drinkflation
LIDL have changed the cans of Perlenbacher so may be worth reviewing the bottle vs the can!
Great review Simon ! So close 🍻! Aldi here I come 🏃♀️! Caroline Ireland 🇮🇪
Great value beers. Yes there are slightly more flavourful fancy beers out there but these are excellent job doers especially when on a budget. Often pick up a 4 pack of one of these and a good value ale from lidl or aldi all in for a fiver👍
Another good one! Perlenbacher is made in France but the taste is definitely not bad. For £1.25 absolutely not. ;)
I’ve never had the Aldi, but the LIDL Pilsner is very reliable.
Keep up the good work mate 👍 I've shopped in a Lidl way back when it wasn't so fashionable! Miss those days it used to be like a private supermarket no one ever in there, different story now! Always have Lidl's Perlenbacher in fridge and only because Lidl is nearest, if Aldi was closer it would be there one. Converted a lot of my friends to the Perlenbacher as their "daily driver" ! 😁🍻
Same with me, I used to drink Graffenwalder from lidl.

My bottle of Perlenbacher says ‘produced in France’ ..(for Lidl, Dublin Ireland). I’d give it an 8/10 even without the German purity laws.
But I then had Perlenbacher pilsner in a can and although it said brewed in France it also had 'Under German purity laws' stated as well... I didn't know there were three different Perlenbacher beers in Lidl plus a non-alcoholic one!
Thank you for the budget German pilsners. Here in the States, Aldi imports a German Pilsner called Wernesgruner. Better than Veltins and some of the other budget German pilsners for less. Watch for it!
Wernesgrüner is a TV-Ad-beer (Das mit der grünen Seele). It comes from Saxony in former East Germany.
The Rheinbacher wheat beer version is as good as Erdinger I would say. I do prefer Dunkel though if I can find it. 😎😇
Bought some Rheinbacher first time 8/7/23, £3.49 4x 500ml cans, 99p per pint, perfectly quaffable.
The video I've been waiting for.😂
How do they sell it for so low a price ? as Warsteiner or Krombacher is double that price ?
I thought perlenbacher was better in the brown bottles when it was 5% - it was good & dry back then.
Nowadays I find it a touch sweet but not awful
I remember the Karlskrone from ALDI, but maybe it's an ALDI Süd thing...And Rheinbacher is the Nord Version... But I remember them in a plastic bottle...
Hi Simon. Great video! Do you think the tinned Perlenbacher/Rheinbacher pilsner from Lidl/Aldi would be superior to bottled?
I could find out :-)
@@realaleguidedid you ever find out? :-)
Both great value, £2.99 for 4 tins not long ago.
Think they're £3.15 now but still great value considering Coors, Amstel etc £4 or more.
Battle of the curry house favourites - Cobra vs Kingfisher 😄
I drink the Rheinbacher every week and it's really rather good - even for a snob like me :D
I really loved when I saw, both beers being really cold ♥️🤘🏼.
I wouldn't even pour it in a glass tbh...not to lose the temperature 🤣
I personally prefer the Rheinbacher and it is really the most honest (money wise) lager/pilsner beer in the UK! (I'm still trying to find a cheaper one 🤣🤣🤣)
I'm currently drinking the canned one (poured it in a glass ...tin destroys the taste nonetheless 😅)
As for the additives in the UK beers...I feel that most UK beers have a lot of additives!!! Why? I feel like I'm being food poisoned 😥
(Btw ...it was really funny hearing you burp during the review 🤣🤘🏼🤣...
and there was a tap running all the time 🤣🤘🏼🤣)
As long as both beers were genuinely brewed in Germany, you can't go wrong. Throughout my many years in Germany, I've drunk many of them - Osnabrücker, Herforder, König Pilsener, Bitburger, Berliner Kindl, Radeberger (Putin's favourite when he lived in Dresden), Warsteiner, all the Munich beers, - and it is difficult to fault any of them. However, I met a German chef in Egypt some 30 years ago who told me that, in Germany, Beck's Bier is one of the very best, but not the exported stuff! Perhaps one for your tests (if you haven't already) ..?
Both beers are brewed in France.
@@JC-gm3zs Thanks for that - at least it's a bit better than being brewed in the UK!
Fuck Putin. Slava Ukraini
Been singing perlenbacher's praises for years. Bang for buck, you can't beat it. Can see why you chose the aldinone but I like the biscuity maltiness from perlenbacher. If I can't get to Lidl, you can't go wrong with budvar. If you could recommend an amazing pilsner, which would be tougher to find, what would it be?
Just recently tried both (cans) and the rheinbacher was disappointing to the point I'm thinking I got a dodgy batch. Not sure I want the other 3. Perlenbacher was very impressed with though.
I would love to send you some craft beers from Australia, specifically from the beautiful winery region of mudgee NSW. Please let me know where I can send it to you please... Love to hear your review!
Students and young people drink Oettinger. Is it known in the UK?
A daily driver beer has never been on my menu. If I am going to drink a lager or bitter, it has to hit the spot. I won't drink it unless I really enjoy it. Thrown many pints away because they have been tasteless. I do drink the Rheinbacher, I tried, but do not like the Perlenbacher.
Tip-back beers. You never know what you're going to get. Sometimes Becks, sometimes Oetinger, sometime mixed.
As soon as you see 'Tournez pour ouvrir' you know it's brewed in France. But Perlenbacher brews according to Reinheitsgebot too.
Ive had both. I personally like Rhienbacher
Lidl in the Netherlands also sells Perlenbacher, but it's at 4.9% ABV,
i don't have a bottle/can right now to find out where it's brewed, but i do enjoy it, it's a nice and fresh beer.
Aldi NL on the other hand does not appear to sell Rheinbacher,
the main lager they sell at Aldi here is "Schultenbräu", and frankly, i don't think it's as good as Perlenbacher,
kind of sucks to know they have a better one out there, just not here :D
Rheinbacher used to be awesome in the uk then they changed the recipe and it’s a bit crap now.
Perlenbacher in uk Lidl is strange the big bottles like what is in the video are imported from Germany and are higher percentage compared to the cans that we get which are only 4.5% and brewed under license in France
In Finland, they do two types of Perlenbacher - one is 5.3%, the other is 5.5%.
I love my Rhinebacher Simon
I liked the stienhauser from Aldi. Also comparable to these 2 beers
Simon, Battle of the Asian Lager.
Tiger Asian Lager - Singapore 🇸🇬
Tsingtao Premium Lager - China 🇨🇳
Asahi Super Dry Beer - Japan 🇯🇵
Singha Premium Lager Beer - Thailand 🇹🇭
Bia Saigon Lager - Vietnam 🇻🇳
Cass Fresh Beer - South Korea 🇰🇷
Picked up Asahi, Tiger and Cobra oh and Kingfisher......
Maybe the Battle of Japan - Asahi Superdry v Kirin Ichiban v Sapporo Black Label.
Can’t help you get the cans though!
Singa Vs Chang for Thailand
@@realaleguide not sure that Cobra counts as it's really a British beer - I don't think it exists in India.
l prefer the Rheinbacher it is excellent value for money. I lived in Germany for three years and got to like Pils.Its usually sold in 0.2l glasses so you drink it in its best condition.
Screw caps are brilliant for easy opening and can be resealed should you not want to finish the beer. Use a cloth if you find them hard on your hands. Aldi Pilsner is better than all the British made lagers I've tried which tend to taste like dirty pipes.
10 out of 10 for the burp!
Do you think for the extra 13p a bottle - three 660ml Staropramen beers from Tesco at £5.50 (1980ml) on clubcard is a better bet than three of these bad boys at £3.87 (1500ml)?
