Great explanation and that's why they are the top 2 beer makers in the world. I'm American and we certainly do have great beers here, the problem is that the good ones are few and far between

As a used to be beer snob from The States. Belgian Abbey Ales are the best to me. And still drink their Lambics

Informal yet informative

As a Dutchman, I'm quite happy both of our neighbour countries make the best beer in the world. Don't have a favourite between them either. My favourite style is either a Hefeweizen or a Trappist Dubbel.

I went to Belgium a few months ago to test my Dutch and to see what the place was like, and it was a truly amazing experience. I drank so many different kinds of beer I was technically drinking a different type of beer every day! And they each have their signature glasses, with original and unique designs, and the glasses are actually designed for that type of beer! For example the really foamy beers get a glass with a larger opening etc. Long story short I found out how truly magnificent Belgian beer culture is and it is insane I highly recommend trying them out for sure.

Love this beer ❤

German beer is weak. Its Belgian or Czech beer that is best. Even Austria beats Germany.

Blegium beer is 100 times better than German.

top beer.

Before swinging the bottle around with Trappist, Abby, Duvel or other beers of high yeast, better check first if there's no accumulation of "fond" (dregs). You don't drink the "fond" unless you want to spend the rest of the day on the toilet.

Some of the Abbey beers are still brewed at the abbey!!!! The Trappist is an order of monks! They should tighten the rules. Because Leffe is also allowed to call themselves an Abbey beer. But it's very cheap mass produced crap sold as something special. .... I know how popular Leffe is outside of Belgium. That's the marketing machine of AB Inbev doing it's job. Real Abbey beers and Trappist beers are focusing on quality not on ridiculous profits and commercialization. If you ever visit Belgium, please don't drink stuff like Leffe,... you can find it everywhere in the world. And in the real Belgian beer pubs they won't even serve it or won't recommend it. Ask for the real abbey beers / trappist beers. 😁

As a Belgian, lager beer is boring to compare with strong Belgium beer 🍻

Well, German probably the best lagers in the world? Not really, when you have the Czech Republic making the best Pilsners.

lager vs ale what better ?.... no Answer

Love this beer. If I could only get it in Canada. Discovered it in Brussels, and went to the A La Mort Subite pub.

Belgium have the best beers.

Are you a Canadian? That was the first thing I thought.

Yeah, bellies probably come from the food eaten along with beer. I had a girlfriend who basically lived on beer and was thin as a stick.

It's a nice beer - not heavy on flavor, but certainly very refreshing and light, with a nice colour and carbonation. It's nice for hot summer evenings.

He has no idea what he was talking about.. Abbey and Trappist are NOT the same, the philosophy behind rhe beer maybe.. 3 steps in becoming a trappist 1. brewed within the wall of a monastery, trappist can not be brewed outside a monastery. 2. the process needs to be supervised by monks... 3. 90% of profits go to chariry and community and abbey ales are FOR PROFIT!

The best beer is Belgian beer.

I swear there used to be Lagers produced in extremely cold caves, in ice or underground... This guy is talking out his ass.

i feel not drunk when am drink weissbier

ahauhauahay

Ale for the win 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🍻

Never skim an erdinger!

Seems to me ales are making a strong come back. When I think of lager beer in the US I think of the piss water beers found in gas stations, ales on the other hand weisse beer, ipa, stout, etc are much more flavorful and interesting. Granted Germany, the Czech republic, and Belgium do have some good lagers. But after a century of big breweries with lager beer that all tastes the same I think many people are looking to ale type beers. Personally I like weisse beers and ipa's, so as a homebrewer Im combining them. Traditional hefeweizen with lots of hops

At least these 2 countries haven't sold out to the awful Craft industry.

stirring the beer bottle then pouring it in the middle of the cup is counterintuitive. stiring the bottle should ve done to lower fiz, so it can be turned into a full liquid. for les fiz in the cuo you should pour the beer on the side of the cup so it slowly pours and creates less used up fiz

The Lemon Radler is delightful! Trying to get my local to get some here.

I notice that with my past 2 sessions of erdinger, I get magnificent tastes in the first few sips, and then it becomes tasteless after that. Not sure what went wrong.

Reinheitsgebot vs "Can you put it in beer, do it!"

Most german lagers taste allright to good for me (im dutch) but the styles from belgium makes me switch style from a Dubbel to a tripel or a grand cru or even (the abomination itself) a lambieck. Theres way more tastes to.belgian beers compared to the german lager, tho the wheats from germany exceed ALL belgian wheat beers. Except for Hertog Jan, that wheat destroys even Franziskaner in my opinion.

I started with Erdinger, but prefer Reichbacher, Weihenstephaner , Franziskaner and Schneider Weisse tap 7. Erdinger is a step below the aforementioned IMO.

the industrial revolution did not invent cold temperatures....come on now

I only drink Weissbiers - maybe a good pilsner on a very hot day. But the likes of Bud, Coors and all those generic beers are just coloured water. Belgian Whites have a bit of a citrus zing, but Weissbiers are king for me.

Lager is a modern invention? Yeah, right! The guy read books found in the homebrew hobby written by the group of advertisers that own CAMRA.

👍🇺🇸❤ALES

Belgian beer is something I might drink if I don't actually want a real beer - which is never.

Lagers were made as far back as the 1400s

Ale is only fit to cook with

There's 1500 styles of German beer. How is that not that many styles?

I'm happy to pronounce it right! and it is very crisp & refreshing, excellent in the summer.

German beer is beer, pure and simple. The German ‘Purity Law’ exists for a reason. The Belgians do make top quality traditional lagers as well (as do the Czechs, Austrians, Dutch, Danes, Poles, and others) but some of the Belgian varieties are cocktail liqueurs - enjoyable, yes, but cocktails nonetheless.

1:00 "Belgium as a very different philosophy" Yup we like ALL kinds of Beers, not only one, the more there is, the better.

this is just an excuse for alcoholism

All wrong plus what are you talking about sir take a sip or something

I think you should do more research, there were bottom fermented beers before the 1840s without the use of electricity.
