+Laurens “Buzze” Buyse trappist is a religious order of catholic monks and the second requirement is that the beer must above all be brewed within the monestary by the monks. however trappist is not a style of beer it's a brand name of sorts. the trappist beers themselves are of various styles.

@@mad555max are you belgian ?

@@mad555max Abbey style

For me it is more "German", to underrate everything which isn't associated with Germany. Most of them/us complain about "bad" beer in the forein country.

+Sucker Punch you mad because someone doesn't have the same taste as you?

and that's a generalization of the typical German I think +Sucker Punch

As an American I stray away from American beer. Strictly German and Belgium for me, thank you

as a Mexican, I just like to get drunk.

I like to drink Leffe here in the United States. Orval is one I’ll have to try

@@josephcastillo6742 also try La Chouffe

Cocktail Liqueurs pfff. Just because you dont like a fruity beer doesnt mean that its not a beer. Go somewhere else whith your pure german Lager, there is no problem if you dont enjoy it. But Taste will always be subjective and just because someone adds spices or fruits to his recipe it wont make his brew less of a beer...

It is amazing how unique the different German beer styles are, despite them all being limited to the same ingredients. I like Belgian beer, but I have to commend the Germans on this one.

I'll tell you why: if you want to drink the whole night, a pils will do perfectly. But with food pairing or on special occasions, the more expressive styles (and more expensive) are in play.

Never seen an 11year old troll before. C+ for the effort

Now where you say it, an 11 year old may indeed be drawn to a liquid mix of orange peel, wildflower honey, cinnamon, jasmine scent, maple syrup, and malt. And if this says "beer" on the label, he probably thinks that he's drinking stuff for grownups, which may further enhance the appeal. The real stuff though he won't really enjoy before he's 17 or 18. One can only hope for him that by then, his taste buds haven't been spoiled for good.

hear hear

Exactly. Belgian brewing doesn't always require seven ingredients, but isn't hung up on just four. Belgian brewing is all about the yeast and the fermentation process, and this is why Belgian beers (and Belgian styles brewed elsewhere) are hands down the best in the world. German beer isn't bad, but nothing out of Germany can compare to a Rochefort 10 or a Rodenbach Grand Cru.

Evan Friend Or a Chimay Bleu

thats not true mate, the belgians quality is very high like the germans, but we have other rules for brewing

@@pascalmerschaudio I didn't say belgian beer was of less quality. Just that belgians are more free what to put in beer. I am more "belgian" in my brewing.

It's not the quantity, but the quality that matters, most certainly in Belgium. And with the ancient tradition, the craftsmanship and the love Belgians put into the brewing process, it's no wonder that the whole Belgian beer culture is internationally protected by UNESCO. USA certainly has a lot more brewers, obviously, but most of their styles started as a certain Belgian beer style copy initially, and from thereon they took it further on to a more extreme taste, making this their own version. I was not going to say anything about light beers, because that's not beer nor a variety in our book, but this disgusts me more; Bud light Apple is absolutely not a beer at all.

dude, I might be late on this one, but did you really just mention Bud Light against Belgian beers? Certainly this was a joke

@@SuperSnoer It was the opposite in fact. Read carefully.

@@FlyingSaucerEyez wow I must have been so shocked by reading Bud Light & Belgium in the same context that I misread his sentences. Thanks for pointing this out.

Belgium has more varieties than Canada.

Ryan Stucke Hoegaarden and Stella Artois are two very good Belgian beers. But if you're ever in Belgium I recommend trying the craft beers there.

Aaron, Are you fucking kidding? Imitation Weizen and macro brewery pig swill?? Seriously?

Diggnuts Hahaha, hey man you may not like them, but I find drink them with no problem! Suggest a better beer to me, I'm being serious, I would love to try more Belgian beer! When I visited Belgium I mainly tried the craft beers, don't really know as much about the big Belgian beer brands.

I still stand by my suggestions though, I enjoy those beers, and I wouldn't call it imitation Weizen, the only thing those two have in common is that they both use wheat, other than that not much. Witbier which is the type of beer Hoegaarden is used a different type of yeast and wheat and has other ingredients in the beer that the Weizen doesn't, and some spices.

Look, the image of Belgium being such a super beer country is a farce. In reality only a very select portion of craft beers are suitable for human consumption. The rest just sells due to the famed ingredient "hype"! The pils/lager stuff in Belgium really is worst than the Dutch horse-pis in general, tangy lob-sided watery head ache inducing rubbish. As for "craft" there are a few Belgian beers that are exceptional, mostly due to random chance, but hey! I would suggest Duvel, Westmalle Triple, Triple Karmeliet, St' Bernardus 12. That is about it for my taste and ability to live with a throbbing head. In general, Belgian beers almost always have something wrong with them.

Nono, its diffrent lagers, pilseners, wheats or Abts that they brew, they dont brew tripels, dubbels, enkels, grand cru's, ipa's dipa's or whatever other thing. German beers are not styles their more regional diffrences, most of them are Lager style beers with an Abt or wheat in between. Not that it is a bad thing tho, german lagers exceed any other lager from belgium, holland, france, italie, the uk/british isles, or poland. The only lager that is quite different is a genuine Pilsener from Pilzen itself.

Go To a Little brewery in bavarian in a Little village there. Drink the Beer You will see it is the best beer in World. I was also in belgium sind Drink the Beer of them there is so a bog Different. German Beer is a lot better

Heinrich Kaspar If you think German beer holds a candle to Belgian beer, you are living a very bland and deprived life.

Belgian.... what?

herodot2 Beer. You know, a fermented beverage made of grain. The Belgians make the best in the world. The Germans make a couple good ones, but they mostly make uninspired bland beers that all taste the same. There's a reason Belgians never feel the need to mix their beers with cola or lemonade.

Belgians don't make beer. Beer-like lemonade drinks perhaps, but not beer. Of course there is no point in mixing lemonade with even more lemonade.

he doesn't sound German, and why did you change the first letters of fuck Belgium

McClelland also doesn't sound German ;p (part of channel name)

I am crushed

+MorpheusVector Belgian beers are fun to drink. That's the main difference.

yea :D I'm 16 but never even drank German beer I think edit: and I don't rly like all beers atm but I think my taste will change because some beers that other people like, I find them taste awful

Pepinus yes the more you drink beer the less bitter they taste ^^ you can still start with light beer or fruity beer

Belgian beer isn't beer. It's a fact. If there is competition for German beer it is Czech beer. Belgian "beer" isn't part of the competition. That would be like admitting a painted donkey to a horse show.

Herodot2 lol if you like to drink urine, good for you

Absolutely agree with that... For Pils, Czech is the best... But for Weißbier,no one can challenge Germany

@@hoangle2897 but no one cares, because Weisbier kind of sucks.

+Marcownz747 well there is a law, wich is basically the same like in 1516 it didn't change much

Just say purity law if you're speaking English... It's still in effect, it's just more liberal than it once was.

It's a law from a bygone era. Lots of German brewers are starting to break away from it.

Depend on type of beer Weißbier, Germany is the best Pils, Czech is the best

​@@hoangle2897Should be because Pils is from Pilsen

Sven Richtmann this is the definiton of narrow minded, but do continue, we can appreciate our own beer then for ourselves.

Dirk I was kind of exaggerating my position for fun. I’m a bit of a German beer purist, but I can appreciate all sorts. Besides, even if I drank only Belgian, there would still be plenty for you!

There's 80+ million people in Germany. Belgium has 1150 different beers, and has a population of ~10 million. So per person, there's far less variety in Germany.

Fruit juice with malt..... you don't know Belgian beers. Clearly.

Belgian beer is way stronger than German beer tho. Drink Belgian beer in the same amounts as German beer and you will end up dead pretty quick.

I live in Germany what he mean is we dont experiment so much on beer all this types are very similar because we only use weed, hop and water

There are not 5000 types of beer in German lol. Not even close.

look it up before you're talking shit

most Belgium beers don't have spices.

+mtklima Right...bocks, doppelbocks, sours, kolsch, pilseners, lagers, kellerbiers, eisbocks,weizenbocks, hefeweissens, altbiers,schwarzbiers, helles, dunkels,dunkelweizens, festbiers,gos, marzen, helles bock, maibock, smoked biers, and on and on.

+Cool Air you agree with him or not? xD

Pepinus Of course not. German craft bier is exploding right now. Maisel & Friends various ipa, chocolate bock, Ganstaller Brau making purely exceptional craft biers, Freigeist making exceptional ancient and sours, Monarchy making extinct biers like the Methusalem Johannisburger, a 10% altbier adambier brewed with red and black currents, Schneider weisse, tons of stouts, hybrids, wheats, schwarzbier/porter hybrids, and on and on. Those are just a few that I've had in the last 2 weeks. There are tons more. More variety than 95% of countries and do it better as well.

I was not gonna bother about replying something to you, but after 3 comments of you, I couldn't stop myself. Every time I read your comments, every time you look more ignorant to me. If you have no idea about belgian beer you should shut up and go taste some. If you think that Belgians beers are only with fruits, it's another proof of your ignorance. Another possibility is that you are only trolling which I hope you are doing. Otherwise, you are really but really an idiot and ignorant.

it does not matter that Germany is catching up in how many brands they have they are all verry simular in taste

You have GOT to be kidding, or you're only had generic beer. How on Earth can a wheat beer taste anything like a Becks?

+metamaggot you whot m8?!? Got something against the best beer in the world?????

haha all the 900 beers are sticky and make you puke... ya right

Hahahahaha loooool

you mix everything with Red Bull hey.

it's shite lol
