German beer is shit, almost as bad as American.

how does a jug play into this?

>>14742463
Ok well what beer do you like?

>>14742455
Augustiner oder Flensburger

>>14742455
Ayinger, Spaten, Warsteiner, Paulaner, Hacker Pschor, Wehrinstephaner, Hoffbrau

>>14742463
Belgian and US beers are pretty much all that matter, you can disregard pretty much every other country when it comes to beer.

>>14742491
cringe

>>14742491
You're right about Belgium, but the US is responsible for the meme-beer cancer currently sweeping my country with mango IPA and salted-caramel porters, disgusting filth for bugmen who hate beer.

>>14742503
You don't have to drink that, just go with the normal stuff. It exists because we've slam dunked on brewing so hard we're now doing weird experimental shit.

>>14742455
Ayinger is a good brand to look at, tho Paulaner is one the the actual Oktoberfest beers
>>14742486

The problem with US beer is the adulteration and removal of the Reinheitsgebot, leading to weird shit like chili powder and coconut in beer.

>>14742586
false retard, belgium has better beer than germany and does not follow the reinheitsgebot
if you dont like the weird beers, dont fucking buy them, but the regular stuff
the reinheitsgebot is german autism at its fucking finest

>>14742586

American here, what is this reinheitsgebet you nazis are babling about

>>14742665
It’s the cross section of Aryan genetics and Actual Beer Suitably. Don’t worry yourself, we will decide what is good beer

None. Go czech if you want good light beers. Staropramen, kozel, Primus for darker beers.

>>14742680
>wants to drink a Maß
>no Helles/Märzen

wut?

>>14742665
German Beer purity Laws. it makes it so all german beers taste the same.

Try some Erdinger Weißbier

t. Erdinger

>>14742455
Just drank this bad boy and it was great but a bit heavy for one liter. Just drink any fine helles, marzen or festbier, maybe weizen if you are into that.

Krombacher

>>14742455
tuborg pilsner preferably classic or just classic heineken

>>14742455
Get whatever helles or oktoberfestbier you can find. Low carbonation and like no bitterness so you can easy chug down a liter of that shit without a problem.

>>14742879
Tuborg's Danish and Heineken's Dutch.

It’s a purity law, forces beer makers to only use specific ingredients. I think it’s great, I wouldn’t want other bullshit additives in distilled spirits or wine, why are you faggots defending it for beer?
If I want citrus flavored beer, I’ll squeeze some grapefruit or lime into it myself instead of “natural flavors”

>>14743463
Because you can just have regulation requiring you to list the ingredients, and let people decide for themselves, instead of having some dickhead decide what he wants included and excluded. FFS this is why America took the reigns of the globe from you fucking retarded euros.

>>14743806
You can do that in Germany too. You just can't name it straight beer then but beer mix drink or shit like that.

Augustiner or Tegernseer Helles is what you should Go with.

just get belgian beer, it's way better than any german trash

>>14743870
>having to read ingredient lists and not just the front label

>>14743919
That literally would be the front label you muzzie.

>>14742455
Nice jugs

>>14743928
American beers don’t use ingredient lists. They can get away with just saying, “beer”

>>14742680
Lel

>>14743963
Do German beers? Maybe they label for import, but I've never really seen any beer, from any country, list ingredients on their beer.

>>14742461
This is great.

>>14742486
Ayinger is perfection.

>>14742779
A few months early for this one. Best when it's cold/snowy outside.

>>14742491
US beers are a joke

>>14744430
That you don't even get faggot.

>>14743806
Walking down the “craft” aisle at my grocery store like 80% of it is bullshit triple ipas or flavored beer. “Innovation” in beer making is bullshit, I don’t want any of this garbage.
America doesn’t even require ingredients to be listed for beer/wine/liquor, not sure what the fuck you’re getting at.

>>14744563
I dunno where you live, but on the I-95 corridor, I can stop in a typical grocery store, and can typically find 3-5 of the top 50 beers in the world. Type tends to vary. Gose is popular for some fucking reason, so I rarely find other sours, US "Belgians" are good, but few match actual tabby beers, but they take over the place of getting legit Belgians. You are right, there are waaaay to many fucking IPA's, but funny enough those are waning. Can't really find a good stout that isn't flavored to all fuck. And there's usually a very small, but thoughtful section of dark ales/lagers.

>>14742455
Shiner Bock, duh.

Spaten
Wiehenstephaner
Hacker Pschor

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>belgium has better beer than germany

When will this fucking meme die.

>>14742455
I like weizens (bavarian wheat beers) like paulaner, franziskaner, erdinger etc.
very approachable while still being different from the generic lagers most people are used to

I want some Augustiner Hefeweizen but they don’t sell that in the US, fucking hurts bros

>>14742779
This is my all-time favorite beer, but I haven't seen it sold in the midwest for several years. I assumed they stopped making it years ago when they were bought out. Where are you finding it?

>>14742455
Why'd you buy 36 shot glasses?

>>14747875
I also share these thoughts

>>14747468

>Not living 15 km away from Germany to be able to enjoy their delicious beer for cheap

I'm sorry buddy

>>14742460
This is the famous Budweiser beer. We know of no other brand produced by any other brewer that costs so much to brew and age. Our exclusive Beechwood Aging process produces a taste, a smoothness, and a drinkablity that you will find in no other beer at any price.

>>14747952
Don’t tease me, Belgian

>>14747434
when germany makes better beer
Im not talking about stella retard

>>14747986

I would gladly drink some nice la Blanche de Namur, too bad I've decided to not drink before Saturday evening

>>14742691
listen to this anon op.
if you're dead set on german beer, augustiner edelstoff is good

>>14742461
can confirm that anything Spaten is pretty great

>>14742455
Früh Kölsch
Probably available only around Cologne, which is in the western part of germany

>>14744608
I'm in Western NY and it's the same here as well. I've also noticed that the IPA trend is starting to wind down, which is good. I never thought about it but you're right about US stouts and porters being lackluster and usually gimmicks, the only good one that comes to mind is Great Lakes' Edmund Fitzgerald porter. My favorite brewery close by is Rohrbach's but while their beer is good it's also expensive, like ten bucks for a four pack. Same situation with Ommegang, but at least you get what you pay for.

Daily reminder that the purity law is bullshit from centuries ago to regulate wheat prices by preventing wheat being used in beer. It’s not to create fancy shmancy German engineering über beer.

>>14744893
>Warsteiner
Geh dich vergraben mein freund.

>>14748122

But you drink that out of a stang, not some faggy litre mug

>>14748169
Thanks for context, I always assumed it was to try to stop brewers from putting toxic stuff in beers like lead. It's also important to note that people back then didn't understand what yeast was yet.

>>14742455
Unless you are in Germany German beers will taste wrong because of the importation process. Just be aware of that.

>>14742586
>>14743463
>Reinheitsgebot
First of all the USA never had RHG. Second of all it wasn't a consumer protection; it was an economic guideline to protect the wheat harvests from being used for beer instead of for bread.

>>14747875
Dunno bro spicland ab inbev is importing it here.

>>14748684
You’re right on both accounts, but by happy accident it had the effect of ensuring quality beer free from all the weird shit. I have no problem with experimentation, but if I see another peppermint and graham cracker infused beer at some brewery...

>>14742455
Spaten

>>14748667
Go fuck yourself. Don't believe this trash.
Go online, look for the most visited "Bierstuben" and "Biergarten" and "Bierkeller" in Munich or any other bigger German city and write down the beerd they have IN BOTTLES. Next, order these.

Why do americans put so much sugary stuff in their beer?

milkstout

>>14748909
Higher alcohol content without the bready taste you get from malt.

>>14742586
no one's forcing you to drink beer with coconut
and reinheitsgebot was meant to stop people from making beer out of wheat instead of using it for bread + to not poison themselves by throwing random herbs in there for flavor

>>14747434
>belgian beer
spiked with corn syrup, id consider them a softdrink
ive tried 10 different brands and they were all disgusting, well beside jubilar Pils
>>14743981
yes
they sometimes even state what hop species are included when they get fancy
>>14748466
id say thanks to this the brewing tradition didnt get tainted like everything else produced today
otherwise 4 incredient only would have died out in the 60s with increasing availability of food additives

>>14742455
I love this stuff

>>14747875
I've seen it in southern illinois. In fact, my gas station with a beer selection only carried optimator instead of regular Spaten for a while about a year ago.

>>14742586
Hops are overrated. Yeah I know people originally used then as a preservative, but overhopped shit like IPAs are gross. Bring back juniper berries and black currants in ales.

>>14749285
I've seen it for sale online at a store called Friar Tuck in Illinois. I might have to make the trip one weekend and buy enough to make it a felony to cross state lines.

>>14748902
>implying a 10-20 day journey via container ship, an arbitrary storage time to clear customs and warehouse storage in green bottles doesn't impact the flavor and freshness of German lagers or other beers intended to be drank young
shaking my damn head at you family

>>14752438
That’s why you find American beer that complies with the Reinheitsgebot

literally translates to "noble stuff"

>>14753157

i`m retarded

>>14743296
Bruder, wo?

>>14742486
>Warsteiner
Good list but I never liked that one, the rest is fucking based especiialy Hacker Pschor and Weihenstephaner. Is that the same brand that produces milk? That stuff is heavenly.

Dortmunder

>>14754583
Milk? Which one? I’m in the US so I have no idea what they do in good ol’ Bayern

>>14743167
most "oktoberfest" beer in America seems to have a peculiar Marzen flavor. Why is that?

>>14755321
From what I understand Marzen beer is made for or is deeply associated with Oktoberfest in Germany.

>>14748457
why so mad

>>14755493
yeah Marzen means March beer which was put into barrels in March and stored in cool alpine caves throughout the summer, then opened up in september in time for Oktoberfest

>>14755493
yeah, but i read that in actual oktoberfest, they dont really serve Marzen, right? they still just serve more "normal" german beers. So its strange how in America almost every beer labeled "oktoberfest" is of the marzen variety, its a very specific flavor

>>14755546
americans like themed things, Marzen is like the most oktoberfest themed beer there is. It feels more special and authentic when most germans probably just drink a bitburger or something

>>14755536
Thank you, that’s what I thought. And the festival itself is a celebration of the Bavarian king’s wedding?
>>14755546
Tbh I have no idea. I think the Marzen style is more historical but idk

>>14742455
2 fosters.

>>14755321
Märzen is a unpopular style in Germany anyway, because electric cooling made the style sorta obsolete and only just became more popular again within the hipster beer movement. As >>14755551 said everybody just drinks pilsener or helles if they don't like bitterness and if they want something stronger they go for export. Export and märzen are very similar anyway, but while export is more associtaed with working class or alcoholics märzen has a better reputation although most people don't even know what it is exactly.
Modern Oktoberfestbier is no actual märzen, but more of a stronger helles or very pale export and thin tasting.

Spaten

>>14743963
half the time they don't even have the ABV on the label

>>14742606
Difference is that we know whats in the beer, while you're getting some chemical parfumed shit in there. If u want strawberry flavoured beer. Just put some strawberries in it urself.

AS A GERMAN I have to say that the best thing about our beer is that you can get a good bang for your buck always. Just go for your local small brewery that only brews in your Landkreis and you can get a decent pint for like 40 Cents. Also Faggot Ipas get discarded like the trash they are which is nice,

>>14742455
I feel extremely bad for people who don't live in good beer state in the US. It's literally the best beer in the world and I've traveled the world for years.

Japanese beer is the worst.

japan here, do you like the beers here?

>>14764574
>germans are tastelets who can't appreciate the most diverse and complex beer style
sounds about right

>>14742586
RHG is exactly why German beer is some of the worst in the world.
Imagine getting so thoroughly BTFO by a small country right next to you.

>>14764589
They macros are alright, I think asahi is my fav of the pilsners. I remember Suntory's black being delicious on draft, and the occasional local craft beers being good as well.

>>14764589
I had a 18 hour layover in Tokyo a couple of months ago. Couldnt leave to explore the city sadly cause of 'rona but the bar miraculously was still open so I got drunk on Ichiban and Suntory. Really different from what I am used to in Germany but thouroughly based. Also had some Sake which was better then any shit I had in Sushi restaurants in Europe.
