I started this beer reviewing channel after I found myself searching out lots of craft beer breweries and enjoying amazing beers, I then decided to start the channel to share these beers with you, however I also realised people like to see beer reviews of every type of beer including beers that are available in supermarkets. so yes whilst I do review a lot of craft breweries I will review any beer. On the odd occasion I will also do food reviews.
whilst I enjoy reviewing beers I also enjoy watching other beer reviewers and I have made some good friends in the beer review community.
Here is a list of some other beer reviewers I like to watch (there are many more I watch).
Dean's beer reviews

Paul's Beer Reviews
Northern Southern Beer Reviews

Im with you mate💯, same here in Ireland, imagine a "German" supermarket not selling proper german beers ( the home of the worlds best beer and 1000s of breweries), its absolute madness, although im guessing its import tax reasons and greed for profits. I will stick to proper German, Czech and Belgian beers, but I've got to order it online and thats not easy to do either as nobody wants to deliver here because of import taxes and issues😠🍻
I think tax has a lot to do with a lot of things in the beer industry at the moment. Thanks for watching and keep on going with getting those good beers in mate.
Yep for me it has that Alsace beer taste but very nice nonetheless
I get your frustration Chris, I put it down to beer ‘fatigue’, or more accurately, shit beer fatigue.
I’m bored of the same old tasting IPA’s that do the rounds, they all disappoint me nowadays.
I’m sick of stuff being brewed under licence in the UK, it just makes the beer shit.
I’m sick of ‘craft’ and most UK cans in general being 440ml, instead of 500ml.
I’m sick of good beers being tinkered with, going away from what made them popular in the first place (Looking at you New Bristol Brewery - your canned stouts are shit now and not worth what you’re charging)
There’s very little excites me with beer nowadays.
I’m finding myself going back 10 yrs and sticking to traditional ales and imported German & Czech lagers.
I get it’s hard for breweries at the moment, but a lot of them aren’t doing themselves any favours.
Anyway, cheers Chris 🍺🤣
Your comment is spot on and exactly how I feel. New Bristol Brewery are a great example you are bang on. Their beers are poor to average now, all their cinder toffee stouts are nowhere near the quality they once were. Yet the price is the same. I find it frustrating. I need to order some beer. I will go on trembling Madness and order a load of German beer. The German breweries don't mug off their drinkers/customers.
@@ChrissBeerReviews Adnams brewery have been selling imported Bitburger 24 500ml tins for £35 an absolute bargain for a decent German lager.
still better than Carling, fosters, bud and carlsberg though.
Yeah i wouldn’t disagree with that
Still better than than Heineken carling fosters and Carlsberg I think your review is a bit harsh if I’m honest.
As usual a great honest review Chris. Nothing like a good old rant mate. You waffled a bit but came back strong in the end. Please keep up the work content. Totally understand your case on the Perlenbacher Pills.Thank you 😂😄
Thanks 👍
Love the rants not gonna lie!! Great vid
Cheers. We all love a good rant 🤣
Oh mate I feel for you. The I’ve had worse clinic recommends one dose of asahi super dry to cleans the palate, followed by one London pride and a shepherd neam India pale ale. (6.1 ) Hope fully these will revitalise your taste buds. You are totally correct about German beers and the fact that supermarkets and macro beers punt low quality poor beers from a ‘that’ll do’ stand point of profit over substance. Chin mate….is it wrong that I love your rants?…..
I do like an Asahi. London Pride is great and the Shepherd Neame is also good. Its time to order in some German beers! Nope it's not wrong to enjoy my rants. I enjoy my rants! Cheers David I hope you and Madame Director are well.
The Lidl Perlenbacher sold here in Sweden is made in Germany (so it say´s on the bottles and cans!). Due too Swedish alcohol laws the stores only sell alcohol free - class l 2,5 class ll 3,5. It´s what we say in Sweden a summer brew in the garden or with a nice meal. Some like it some don´t, personly I enjoy the mild taste of this beer,
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment
There's a curse on British beer right now. So many of the beers you get are the "cheap" versions. I'm sitting here, right now, drinking a Perlenbacher Premium pils , produced in Germany and it's crisp, clean and lovely. No metallic taste at all. I'm in Denmark and the beer is from a local Lidl.
Yeah we are getting mugged off over here.
Aldi was Rheinbacher. I think Lidl have changed the can design to make it look more like the Aldi can. I wish they hadn't done that!
Missed your reviews, super you are back x
Thank you.
Has this just had a rebrand from the green cans to those cans? In my local Lidl's it's still the green cans in a 4 pack.
Yeah I guess it must be a rebrand and probably a drop in quality.
They changed about a week ago in my Lidl here in Cardiff. The green cans were 4.7%, now 4.5% - taste the same though as far as I can tell. I feel like perlenbacher was nicer a few years ago but I still think it’s alright enough. Never expected much, just cheap and not bad.
Yep Rheinbacher the abv went down and it went in to green glass it wasn't a patch on the original
Ah Rhienbacher that's the one!
Chris, I feel your pain.
The UK market is obsessed with recreating foreign beer and all because we in the UK demand it. Hence we get sub-standard versions of beers that people in their respective countries would gasp at.
Why do we champion such things while ignoring our own excellent brews? The French love their native wine and food, as do the Germans, Czechs, Spanish, Italians, Belgians and so on. They wouldn't for one second consider casting that aside for foreign produce, especially those that mimic their original versions, yet we do so on a daily basis.
Not knocking imports, and I like German and Czech beer, but I don't appreciate companies ripping people off with fake, inferior garbage.
Fantastic comment Paul. I completely agree with you. As a nation we had some fantastic large breweries producing decent beer, stuff to be proud of. Then huge companies come along and buy them up and make them part of their group and then absolutely destroy the beer. Then you have supermarkets producing crap beer like this. It just feels like huge companies are laughing at us.
Hobgoblin glass is for ale not pilsner, you need a nucleated glass
Ive picked these up today and i noticed the same and i am also confused. A German looking and sounding beer thats brewed in France. I wont be buying again. Good review and i am glad you also spotted it
Thanks for watching. Yes this was a disappointing.
Can we have more rants please 😁
Of course! 😁
Get it out my friend. If you need a chat pm me lol
🤣🤣🤣
I went in to Lidl today and they had Perlenbacher Pils in cans at 4.5%, in regular size bottles at 4.7% and in large 500ml bottles at 4.8%. And on their website they are advertising the large bottles at 4.9%. What the hells going on there with it?
Yeah what on earth is going on with that!! That’s crazy.
They probably rerband from multiple locations and deliver whatever is nearest. Here (other side of the continent) it is 4.9 and it's the one produced in Germany.
Fair play to them though, on the back it says ingredients may vary across Europe 😂
This used to be decent before they meddled with it but fair play to them for their honest in stating where its brewed.
It doesn't change the fact that its shite though 😁
Hahaha no it doesn't change the fact. 😁
I bet its brewed by St Omer, I bought a festbier last year from Aldi that was brewed by the French mega brewery St Omer. It tasted like cheap french lager
That's a good shout.
Is it Rheinbacher you're thinking of? Definitely a bit cheeky by Lidl. I've had perlenbacher in the past and thought it was very average indeed.
Saying this beer is average is being nice. 😁
I tried my first Rheinbacher yesterday, it tasted fake and metallic, good to know this is the same, In wales it costs a pound more for a four pack too, so with Asda 2 for £10 deal P.Urquel is very similar price. There is really no comparison in my opinion.
Yeah absolutely no comparison. Urquell is great.
Gives me serious shits de next day. No stop scuts till I get it out of me.
😂😂😂 dont you just hate it when that happens!
Doesn’t the German purity law just mean it has to be brewed with ONLY barley hops water and yeast? Not sure it specifies it has to be brewed in Germany 🤷🏼♂️
Anyway I haven’t had this for ages.
Yeah I agree with you Scott, but I think they are trying to make it look like it's brewed in Germany.
Either way it's shite! 😁
@@ChrissBeerReviews yeah won’t be rushing out mate that’s for sure.
A quick search online tells me you get the same Perlenbacher in a German Lidl? But either way, it is a pretty dire beer. I have had a bottle, but never again.
Really?!?! That does surprise me.
Bought cans of Perlenbacher pils and helles in Lidl in Munich for 39 cents each, both perfectly drinkable, preferred the helles. Bought the pils in the U.K. and it was slightly weaker and a generally inferior product.
Well I think it tastes better than some very expensive Spanish beers, it's £3,50 so your not getting mugged off really
Are you talking about proper Spanish lagers or lagers that are branded Spanish but brewed in the uk
Margarita sour vocation it's face twisting lime
Sounds good Chris.
Clear golden color with a small white head. Grainy, slightly hoppy smell with notes of wet cardboard and musty rug. The taste is grainy, slightly metallic, slightly grassy and soft, sloppy. Slightly sweet with light bitterness, lighter body with sost, light carbonation. Worse then older version.
Agree it is worse than the older version.
Maybe stick to the Tring brewery who make some great beers.
Actually I had a lovely stout from them last week. It was stunning.
Ffs just bought 8 of these thinking they would be good
You might like it
@@ChrissBeerReviews tbf I didnt mind them!
Yes Perlenbacher is not the same as it used to be, the one in the old green can was acceptable to me. I won't buy it again.
Cheers for watching. Have a good Christmas
Drinking a perlenbacher as I’m writing this when I’m chilling with a can I like watching these reviews but you’ve depressed me
Hahaha sorry I have depressed you! But thanks for watching.
I'll preempt this by saying: No, I'm not trolling & no, I'm not trying to start an argument. However, if you're getting burned out on crap beer then why not stop buying it from the supermarket and start supporting your local pubs & breweries instead? Supermarkets are not the friends of the consumer. They'll peddle any old beer-tasting crap for a cheap price in the hope it will fly off the shelves and make them a ridiculous profit. Meanwhile, the UK's pubs and breweries are on their arses and need our support more than ever. I completely get that sometimes you just want to stay at home and have a beer on your own terms. For those situations where going out doesn't appeal, why not buy beer directly from the breweries? Many are happy to sell you a 5,10 or 20 litre beer-in-a-box, which you can either dispense directly to glass or hook up to something like a Pint365 beer engine and serve a proper hand pulled pint yourself. If there's no market for adventurous & exciting beers, then the breweries will likely revert back to brewing mundane bitters & pale ales for the masses. Or they'll simply shut up shop and disappear. The thought of buying cans & bottles from a middle man or a dedicated device, such as a Beer Blade or Perfect Dragught, so I can stay at home drinking mediocre beer whilst the pubs are suffering just doesn't sit well with me.
Hi. No worries I know you are not trolling or starting an argument. I agree with your comment. The majority of what I have reviewed has not been supermarket beer, but I like to be balanced and review supermarket beer aswell. I just get fed up that big stores and macro breweries think it's ok to keep punting out crap. But it sells I guess so they will keep doing it.
I do like to support local pubs and absolutely go in them when I can. Tring brewery are not far from me and I do support them by buying their beers and merch. Infact I should review more of their stuff really.
Your comment was great and thank you for taking the time to type it.
Beer should have the same laws as france mandated for wine, a bordeaux or a champagne have to come from the respective regions, yet a beer from the UK is allowed to be called german/belgian/dutch etc... absolute disgrace
Completely agree. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
Maybe time to visit proper German beers.
Yeah I defo need to go back to proper German beers.
That looks dreadful, and no head.
It was dreadful.
IT’s has got head
Sorry I fell asleep during your preamble and lost interest completely.
Oh well. Thanks for watching a bit before falling asleep. On the positive side if you are ever having trouble sleeping you could watch this again. Cheers 🙂
