Pedro is honorable german now. He showed that he can open a beerbottle with everything 😄👍

"Radler" translates to "Cyclist", it's always beer with lemonade/fruit sirups and has about half to third of alcohol as a regular beer. It's a refreshing and light drink in the summer.

Haha you improved your game a lot! And you have +10 points from europeans for measuring temperature in celsius. Keep rocking 🙂

Drinking German beer from Turkish cay glasses is kinda hilarious and ironic actually.

Stiegl Radler is Beer with Sprite or 7up. Nice for a hot day. The Kölsch is a typical beer only brewed in the Cologne area. You drink it quickly and chilled. They are normally served in 0.2L (12cui) glasses to keep the beer fresh. When you’re out drinking and the last sip is in the glass, the bartender will automatically serve you a new one, so that you don’t run dry. If you’re done drinking you put your beer mat on the glass so that the bartender knows you do not want an other one 😊

Your wife is the MVP as usual for holding the camera the entire time :) I'm happy you guys enjoy our alcohol so much, pls feel encouraged to keep this going. Cheers (Prost) from Germany

Pedro's opening skills, German Approved!

The wheat beer is top fermented, so the yeast is on top and makes the beer cloudy if unfiltered.

Glad you like German beer so much! The first one was "Kölsch", a kind of beer exclusively from cologne. "Kölsch" translates to cologne'ish. You are supposed to drink it from 0.2l glasses, Früh is one Kölsch brand, it means early. Many Germans living outside of cologne make fun of Kölsch, because its drank from small glasses and tastes very light. The German purity law actually is the oldest still existing food law in the world. We manage to do a lot with these 4 ingredients, aren't we? :D Radler isn't "woman's beer". Radler roughly translates to bicyclist. Its beer mixed with soda, like we also sometimes mix Pils with Sprite, you'll get roughly the same taste. Its nice when you go for a hike during warm summer, or if you plan to do sports. There is a German saying: "Radler ist kein Alkohol" - Radler is no alcohol. Krombacher is the biggest privat brewery in Germany. Its from a little town called Krombach, and actually I'm from there :D. The tower on the logo exists and is a restaurant. I really enjoy to see something from my little region being drank all over the world. However, it tastes much better if its fresh from the tab. The brewery has many varieties of beer, and there is also international tourism happening to it. People come from all over the world, you pay like 20 bucks, you get to see the brewery and then you have 2 hours of free drinking with excellent service and food served aside. Brilliant experience! In the 2010ers (maybe earlier) the German brewery's created more Radler-like beers (Radler is the German OG-Beer mix, but there was a less popular cola and beer mix around, too). The Schöfferhofer Grapefruit is a wheat beer, which are sweeter in nature, with some grapefruit soda stuff. The beer mix-stuff btw. isn't allowed to be called beer in Germany due to the purity-law. So we call the "Biermischgetränk" - Beer mix drink. The Franziskaner is a very solid German wide sold Weißbier (White Beer), which is also an unfiltered wheat beer, the Bavarian call it white beer instead of wheat beer. I also like to drink it outside on warm summer days, when you call it a day. Wolters is from the more northern parts of germany. Like the northern and western parts from Germany tend to drink more Pilsener, the south is more a wheat beer region. Like Warsteiner, Krombacher and Wolters both come from the western part of Germany. DAB is a more international brewery, i think they concentrate more on export, but i could be wrong here, dont know to much about them. DAB is the "Dortmunder Aktien-Brauerei" - Dortmunds Incorporated Brewery. Soooo, there are 1492 brewerys in germany with 8135 different beers.. Which ones come next? :D

I did not want to comment this time but there are two reasons i have to: 1. Pedro looks awesome in his damn nice shirt! 2. You gave the beer from my home region (wolters from the city of braunschweig) a high score. Now i‘m a fan. 😅🎉😊 PS.: Those lemonade style beers are called „radler“ in southern germany and „alster“ in northern germany. They are indeed beer/lemonade mixtures. Also available with beer/coke (then called „diesel“).

Kölsch has a special fermentation process. The "top fermentation" fermentation takes place at higher temperatures between 18°C and 22°C and the yeast floats to the top. Typical types of beer for top-fermented beers are ale, Kölsch and wheat beer. The advantage of top fermentation is the possibility of fermentation at room temperature. Kölsch can only be brewed in the area of the city of Cologne, Cologne=Kölsch. There are currently 30 types of Kölsch. The white and red painting on the can are the city colors of the city of Cologne. Kölsch is usually served in small glasses so that it is always fresh and cool, in a Kölschen brewery the cellar replaces the empty glass with a full one without asking, only when you put your beer mat on the glass does the waiter stop serving you.

I just love how genuine y‘all are.

your dad is invited to Dortmund for this vote for the DAB beer. we have many more beers to taste. its funny to see you guys drinking

1) Important information (!!!): Stiegl is not a German but an Austrian beer brand from Salzburg. I personally prefer their "actual" beer to their Radler. 2) Regarding "Früh": The German "ü" (an umlaut, which by the way exists in several languages) is exactly pronounced like the French "u". It sounds like something between the English "ee" and "oo". If you struggle with the pronunciation of the "ü", better stick to "ee" instead of "oo"! This will be comprehended a lot better. There is actually no equivalent of the "ü" phoneme in the English language except for at least one variety I am aware of: This exception is the Scottish "oo". Pronounced with a Scottish accent the word "good", for instance, sounds like "gühd" for a native German speaker. By the way, "Früh" means "early (morning)", but in this case it's also the last name of the brewer dynasty producing this beer. 3) Regarding "Schöfferhofer": The German "ö" (which also exists in a lot of languages) sounds exactly like the "e" in "her", the "i" in "first" or the "u" in "turtle". 4) Wolters is pronounced "Volters". Remember the car brand "VW" being pronounced "FauVeh (FowVay)"? As always this was a very entertaining video. I had a lot of fun. Thank you and cheers... er... Prost! 😊

Stiegl is from Austria. There was a war ...

"Wolters" - thats from my hometown. This is definitely an original product from Germany, because it is only made in Braunscheig. Design is from the "small Braunschweig state coat of arms", when it was still a free state. "Nec aspera terrent" (obstacles do not frighten us). It's amazing that you got this. Even here you can only get that regionally. Warsteiner and Krombacher is standard beer like your Miller´s in US. "It does´nt blow me away but solid" This is the taste that the manufacturer wanted to achieve. It´s for the mass taste.

25:29 This is literally one of the ways you open a bottle like a boss! Muy bien! :D

Kölsch, unlike the others is 'top fermented' so technically it's a pale ale and not a lager as such, just a malty less hoppy version of a pale ale than many are use to? Früh have an excellent Brewpub in the shadow of Cologne Cathedral, where you can sit outside and drink the beer from the cask, which comes to you continuously until you tell them to stop!.

Your favorite Beer is wheat Beer, Franziskaner is just one brewery, who brewed that Kind of beer. Erdinger, Paulaner are very common Brands for that Type of beer. You should try the Kuchlbauer wheat beer. And Take a Look at the brewery.

Radler is so light the you often drink it when you dont want to drink alcohol. The alc free version is often handed to under-agers as it tastes good, but does not get them drunk lol

MOIN! In northern Germany we call the Radler mostly Alsterwasser. The Alster is a river in Hamburg. And in the city of Hamburg there are two lakes called Inner Alster (Binnenalster) and Outer Alster (Außenalster). This lake(s) is fed by the Alster river. So, why is the drink half made with Sprite and half made with Pilsener beer called Alsterwasser (Alsterwater) ?! Wikipedia says: 'Pilsner is used in northern Germany and the mixture is usually called Alsterwasser, or Alster for short, named after the alleged color of the Hamburg water of the same name. The use of the term Alster is not uniform outside northern Germany. The terms Alster and Radler are often used interchangeably; sometimes Alster beer is understood to mean beer with lemonade and Radler is beer with orange lemonade, and sometimes the other way around.' Ok, I've learned something new today - still taste good - PROST! Greetings from northern germany ♥️

Bavarian wheat beers are brewed with top-fermenting yeast. In addition to barley malt, wheat malt is also used in varying proportions for the mash, often up to 70% wheat.

In Swedish: "Skål!".

This. I needed this today. So wholesome! Cheers Gentlemen (and women)!

hahahah so much fun, guys! Prost! :) BTW pls tell Pedro he has fans worldwide :D love this kind of content :) best wishes from the Netherlands! :)

Und nicht vergessen die leeren Dosen und Flaschen zum Pfandautomaten bringen.😏

Hefeweizen, "yeast wheat" Unless a wheat beer is filtered there is the yeast in it which makes it cloudy. Filtered Wheast beer is usually sold under name of Kristallweizen, Crystal Wheat becaused it is clear. Edit: I prefer Paulaner and Schöfferhofer over Franziskaner. You can get Schöfferhofer also as regular and alkohol free wheat beer. This is what I buy most, Schöfferhofer and Paulaner alcohol free, for Paulaner there is also alcohol free version with the lemonade. schöffer hofer has Grapefruit and what I think taste even better is Kaktusfeige, cactus fig. Radler or Alsterwasser is a mix of lemonade and beer. There is a boom in that in germany for the last years. Schöfferhofer was kind of an early adopter with grapefruit and cactus fig. Now you can get theses mixes with all kind of soda, mango, rhubarb, elderberry, blood oranges.

Every thing is perfect with your camera work and your little review 🙏

I love your family unity you’re all so beautiful and wholesome ❤

Never like tasting videos but yours are so homely and spontaneous it's really fun to watch! Cheers lads

Just ask Google translator to speak out the ö and ü words. The attempt sounded very funny, I enjoyed that :D it's always funny hearing people with other languages try and pronounce the German specifics on their own. Not judging at all ^^

Weiss beer (Hefenweizen) is made with wheat malt alongside the barley malts, that gives it the cloudy look. Normal lagers have only barley malts. Also it is unpasteurised, which helps with the look. Love watching your beer videos, you all are so genuine and sweet. As a craft beer brewer and Connoisseur, i would love to watch you try some craft beers like different types of IPA's (New england, west coast, imperial) and some sours (Fruited, Gose, Belgiums). Can't wait for the next instalment in the series, keep up the good work!

Kölsch früh😂!! Good Start You can see that you like it!! That pleases me!

Germany has so many different sorts of beer - even brewing techniques and the amount of hops used. Plus other "factors". Like most beers are made with barley - and some are made with wheat. Like the "Franziskaner" and the "Schöfferhofer". And - the "Stiegl" is beer mixed with lemonade. How it is called depends on what is it is mixed with ... Helles / Export: "Radler" In the north - with "Pils" - it is "Alsterwasser" And again in the south - with wheat beer - it is "Russian". Just drink whatever tickles your tastebuds the most.

Nice Video. You should try to get Störtebeker Beer, Craftbeer from Stralsund, Germany with a lot of variations, great stuff. I could watch Pedro tasting beer the whole day😊 Such a great guy.

In Bavaria, beer is classed as a staple food.

I knew you guys like Kölsch. I think it fits the American beer taste, it's more watery in my opinion.

Weissbier is German Wheat beer, I personally really like Hoegaarden Witbier, Wheat beer (Belgian) they add Orange peels in the process.

I’m watching this while drinking a German beer after a dinner, and at 15 minutes you’ve drank 2 beers each, and I’m not even halfway through my first. Take it easy boys 😂 Greetings from Croatia 🇭🇷

The ones you categorize as "different" are made with wheat rather than barley. This makes the beer more sour and is popular in southern Germany and as a refreshing summer drink.

To be quite frankly that is really impressive for me plus I am kinda stunned at the same time.. You are served the regional beer from my home town.....You are indeed served WOLTERS PILSENER from Braunschweig over there !! Thumbs up and keep on rocking )) P.S.: The ratings are unanimously excellent, too 😁)

Loving your work guys. Great job once again.

Those tasting sessions with Pedro are gold! Wat a great man he is. Also it was fun to see the woman doing a tasting session to.

Pedro is the true German beer drinker among you, he knows how to open a beer bottle with 1000 things. Only German beer drinkers have developed the art of opening a beer bottle with anything. This is because in Germany you can drink alcohol anywhere and you don't always have a bottle opener with you.👍😁

The cloudy look comes from the beer being unfiltrated and the yeast used in brewing still floating around in it. It's most common in Weizenbier/Weissbier (=wheat beers), although there's a filtrated variant called Kristallweizen (crystal wheat). Wheat beers are most common in bavaria, while further north it's mostly with barley (Pils, Kölsch)

What a lovely part 2. Thanks for sharing, Ian...The ladies inbetween was funny...btw, i love the littlens going rogue in the background❤🍻😂❤

I mean many beers you have, are big brands that not a lot of people would drink in Germany. Germany is really a country where it's about local beers with small breweries all over. That's the ones people normally go for.

We really have to appreciate the measures to keep the beers to right temperature! Well done people!

I‘m impressed how you get your hands on Wolters. It’s a small brewery from Braunschweig wich is the closest city with a brewery to Wolfsburg.

Always nice to see a group of friends slowly getting drunk😂 it's great to see you enjoy different beers! And for the excellent camera lady, if possible, try Liefmans Fruitesse, it's a Belgian beer with fruit like blackberries, it hardly tastes like beer, and it's pretty good. Keep up the good work 🎉

Love this format and you guys. Its super entertaining to watch you rating beer haha. Well done! 🎉

water is equal in wheigt and volume but if you have alcohol it all changes!

If I may I would recommend British ciders as a taste test ,they do multiple flavours such as pear , summer fruits rhubarb, but be careful they can be potent .

Some suggestions: Wheat Beer (also called Weizen) has to be poured completely. For the last bit you stop pouring and kind of stir the bottle to get the yeast out of it and pour it on top. Many people like drinking Weizen mixed 50/50 with 7Up/Lemonade, with Cola (extra points for adding a shot of cherry liqueur, so called Kirsch Goaß) or even with Banana Juice (yes Bananenweizen is a thing).

Funny, the Wolters brewery is 40 miles from here and I can't remember that I ever drunk a beer from them. It is also a Hofbrauhaus, "royal court brewery" The "royal court" here was the Duke of Brunswick. (Braunschweig)

Radler is a huge hit here in the summer. Wont get you wasted so you can drink it in the middle of the day 😂

As a german, I could watch these beer reactions for hours. Which I do 🙂

Just for your information, with a naturally cloudy Hefeweizen the yeast is at the bottom of the bottle. By placing it on the top of the bottle and gently swirling it, the yeast deposits get into the beer and give the beer a kick!

What a cool family, looks like a great time. Going to Germany in June so now I have some beers to look out for

Im glad for the sample glasses!! ✊👍

I love the beers from DAB! The DAB Dark is my favorite, but, they're all really good.

Quick tip for german, danish, and I'm guessing a lot of other european beers, it's good to have foam on top, around 20% of the height of the pour, try it next time! Great content Ian

Ha! Some Brits took me to a german restaurant in London in my honour. I had them order me a früh kölsch too

love your european beer episodes!!

Here in Braunschweig is the Wolters Pilsener Brauerei

Awesome Video, you guys made me smile while testing our good Beer :) You should definitely try Augustiner Edelstoff it‘s my all time Favorit German Beer! Although it might be difficult to get in the states

What a wonderful and amazing wife, watching and encouraging her husband and family getting drunk!!!!😂

Hi Ian, the letter "Ö" is pronouced like the letter "I" in sir. Don`t know why I watched 4 dudes drinking beer.😂Prost!

1:50 Früh Kölsch just got a boost yesterday since leverkusen won the national soccer championship early on and Früh Kölsch is the Canned beer of choice here Reissdorfer Kölsch if its bottled & Gaffel Kölsch from the barrel 🤗🍻

If you find Bockbier or Dobbelbock beers from Germany they are stronger, can be up to 16%. Most normal beers from Germany are 4,5-5,4%. UK has a lot of good beers, Norway have good ones, Netherlands, France, Italy. Norway would be fun since that is such small country when it comes to population. But Hansa, Aass, Ringnes, 7 Fjell, Lysefjorden, Haandsbryggeriet, Balder, Nøisom, Lofotpils, Mack. Lots of breweries there. So if you can find any then that would be fun to see.

Franziskaner is one of my favorites. I recommend also to try Weihenstephaner Hefeweissbier, Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier and Ayinger Urweisse

I love her father, he is so cool. The Radler was funny.

Hey u can find thoose kind of glases everywhere in germany, in every turkish teehouse xD

Hey, would like to how what you thing about the temperature. Was cool but not ice cold the right choice?

Alcohol by volume (ABV) is always higher than alcohol by weight (ABW). For example, a 3.2% ABW beer is about 4% ABV. To convert ABV to ABW, you can use the formula ABV x 0.8 = ABW. You can also convert ABW to ABV by dividing by 0.795. In some parts of the world and some areas of the U.S., ABW is used. However, if you see an unlabeled percentage on a U.S. beverage, it's safe to assume it's the beverage's ABV. Definition by Google

that first kölsch is for sure one of my fave german beers, then again i havent found a bad german pilsner.

"Na zdrowie" from Poland :) ps. you must try more Polish beers. I have a brewery near by and they are great

10:00 A Radler or Alsterwasser in germany is a beer-lemonade mix, in varying quantities. It's a really good drink when you are really thirsty but don't necessarily want to get drunk soon. ;) It's a refresher and the beer in the lemonade makes it at least a bit isotonic. ;) 14:15 Uhm .. no foam at all is a bad pour .... but it's ok for a tasting session maybe. ;) 24:50 Uh, a hefeweizen or a weissbier is a particular beer overall. You need the right technique to pour a glass of hefeweizen and you need the content of the whole bottle, including the sludge at the bottom... mh ;) 25:30 Pedro is the man!! Seriously. Thats a "Deutsches Kulturgut" (german cultural heritage). Easily four out of five people can pop a bottle open with virtually everything..... It's just physics .. and a bit of trial and error. A german who can't open a bottle with a lighter, a knife, a zollstock (yard stick) or simply a table edge .. heck even with a fricking belt bucke like Pedro.... well ...... has a hard time and always need to carry a bottle opener. ;) 29:55 Heh ... yeah, german beers are, besides the alcohol, basically isotonic energy drinks, optimal to refill a bunch of electrolytes after a few good hours of hard work or such. ;) Well, most "pure beers" are actually. Not just the german ones. ;) Oh and then there's the alcohol. ;) Was a nice video to watch ..... ;) Keep it up! ;)

Another great video, i like your stuff, nice party you had there. I live in Germany near Frankfurt and what can I say, of course I also love our beer variety in Germany and you would be amazed how many more different flavors there are.

huge assortmnt ;D good luck guys

In Finland " Kippis "

Greetings from a worker from the DAB (Dortmunder Actien Brewery) I´m glad you like our Beer :D

"Kölsch" type beer is strictly regulated in regards to the brewing process and ingredients, and the term Kölsch itself also has a protected geographical indication within the European Union. Only breweries which abide by the official rules, and which are located no more than 50km from the German city Köln (English name: Cologne) may sell their product as Kölsch. This is of course similar to how Champagne is regulated. "Früh" is a family-owned company (5th generation) which has been brewing Kölsch since 1904. If you ever journey to Cologne, I can recommend visiting the Früh Brewery near the Kölner Dom cathedral.

Pouring beer without a head is a deadly sin over here. But entertaining as ever, proost guys!

5am video drop! Gotta love it haha

Pouring so there is alot of Foam is actually the right Way in Bavaria cause the Beer has time to "breath" and unfold its Aroma. So when the Foam settles you pour more until u got nice "Foamcrown" ;) Greetings from Munich

WEIZEN BEER (Wheat beer) comes in two variants, 'Hefe Weizen' (Yeast Wheat) cloudy so not heavily filtered contains yeast residue, and 'Kristal Weizen' (crystal wheat) is filtered leaving a very clear beer. Both are excellent refreshment on a hot day. I personally like the clear variant, but the cloudy type appears most commonly available. Here in Australia I mostly get these wheat beers at Aldi at certain times of the year. Aldi have both zero alcohol and high alcohol types at various times of the year. Currently I have a number of 500mL high alcohol ones, 2 standard drinks per 500mL due to alcohol content. Also still have 6 bottles of zero alcohol, as we enter autumn here. No more hot days left, but need to consume it while still not too old. As made to German purity laws, only 4 basic ingredients, no preservatives or chemical stabilisers added, should be consumed I reasonable time, not stored for months to years it spoils, drink only good fresh beers.

Stiegl is from Salzburg/Austria

Oooh WOW ! What a festival of beer ! 🍻🍻

I really enjoy your beer tastings! You guys are great! Greetings from Thuringa, Germany

Heya! Nice to see the improvements! New glasses, learning to pour like Mr. Pedro, temperature gun, even the scoring plates are a nice touch! You guys are becoming pro worldwide beer tasters! Cheers from Romania! (Noroc! = luck) Btw, funny thing, "prost", which is the German cheers, means "dumb/simple/idiot" in Romanian. Not a Latin word, there are lots of synonyms for it, I think it's borrowed from Slavic. I drank with Germans and I always avoided saying it if they didn't. :))

26:04 Yesss that is munks reciept beer . " Live" beer. it is like home made beer less malt or even 0% malt .

Erdinger weißener is my favourite. With weißenbeer it is like you love it or you hate it😅

I always find it funny how you describe a beer with a big head as a bad pour. It really makes you realise how different the ideals of the USA and Europe/Germany are. In Germany at least, a good head is important, especially for wheat beer, as it prevents the carbon dioxide (the natural carbonation of the beer) and flavours from escaping quickly; it is a kind of protection against the beer quickly becoming stale.

About beer: Beer and beer culture in Germany is a topic that could fill entire books. Here is some information about it: The most popular type of beer in Germany is probably Pils or Pilsener. Pils is drunk in most regions and is a light yellow, foamy beer. Well-known brands are “Krombacher”, “Warsteiner”, “Radeberger”, “Pilsener Urquell”, “KönigPilsener”. In northern Germany, people like to drink bitter Pils like “Becks”, “Jeva” or “Holsten”. In the Rhineland, especially around Düsseldorf and the surrounding area, people like to drink “Alt Bier”. It is darker and more towards brown. Popular brands are “Diebels Alt”, “Frankenheim Alt”, "Schlösser Alt" or “Füchsen Alt” (Füchschen is a cute form of Fuchs and means fox). Cologne is also in the Rhineland, but the people of Cologne have their own "beer" that is very popular there. It's called "Kölsch" and is light yellow with no or small foam. The name Kölsch come from the German name of Cologne (Köln). Kölsch will served in small thin glases (0,2 liter). The most german people outside of Cologne don't like Kölsch. Well-known brands are “ Früh Kölsch ” or “ Gaffel Kölsch “. In Bavaria people like to drink the naturally cloudy “Weißbier” or “Hefeweizen”. It is usually drunk in tall 0.5 liter glasses. There are special techniques for pouring the beer so that the cloudy components from the bottle also get into the glass. Popular brands are “Erdinger Weißbier” or “Paulaner Weißbier.” One of my favorite beers is „Potts Landbier“ from a brewery in my actual location (Münsterland) :)

So nice how the children were kept busy in the background. Obviously an intact family where the little ones are not simply kept quiet in front of the TV. BUT: you can't compare wheat beer and Pilsner. They are worlds apart. And then there's Früh-Kölsch. The only thing missing is Alt from Düsseldorf, or Lager or Export. Yuck... yikes. The alcohol content is irrelevant. It's all about the taste! I forgive you for the disposable cans. In Germany that would be a "no go" ... but in the USA ... so far away ... the empty bottles would probably never make it back to the brewery to be refilled anyway.... so "disposable" is actually the better choice in this case.

20:12 in Estonian we say " terviseks "

I've tried most but not all of these. Franziskaner Weiss beer is an old favourite of mine but not had any for a long while.👍🍺

I am sitting here in germany after a hard day of work, drinking a german beer and watching you drinking german beer - almost as if I joined you :) PROST!
