What style of beer do germans make best?

>>17308097
Id say wheat beers. They have this beer recipe law, so they can't fuck with ingredients too hard.

>>17308106
Thanks fren

Reddit picks. Just buy whatever comes in 30x.033l crates and is on sale for the actual full German experience.

>>17308032
I don't drink german beers but the best I had is Hoegarden. Whatever that one is, it tastes good

>>17308397
Hey, what are good american beers? Pick out the biggest cheapest pack you can! Fuck your mother.

>>17308431
>what are good american beers?
Colt 45
The best American beer. It is widely available and cheap. Its alcohol content is 8%. It's sour and bitter, pairing well with cigarettes or other tabacco products.

>>17308431
PBR and Bud light of course.

>>17308063
Is paulaner good?

>>17308106
Aren’t germans known for their pilsners?

>>17308452
Mid tier.

>>17308454
Most likely, but I know germany for their wheat beers.

>>17308032
oetti

>>17308406
Hoegaarden is Belgian you raging homosexual

>>17308455
Weihenstephaner Is better than paulaner?

>>17308466
So you're saying there are no Germans in Belgium? Mutt detected.

>>17308454
but czech and austria do pilsner better

>>17308454
Yes, pils makes up almost 2/3 of all produced beers in Germany.

>>17308468
I would say so at least when comparing their respective hefeweisen.

>>17308032
>butt-chin and man-jaw
Yep, she’s german alright.

That's an American girl in Germany bro. You can tell by her leathery perma-tanned skin, dyed hair, manly facial features and posing for an instagram photo.

>>17308032
Look at that chin kek

Says here her favorite dance is the goose step. Not sure I'm familiar with that one.

Belgium Grimbergen Double Ambree 6,5%. I'm German and outside of Bavarian beers this is my fav atm

>>17308032
To me the best German beers are Zwickel style. (Keller-, Land-, Zwicke-, Zoiglbier) They're unfiltered, have a better body and are highly sessionable. Big macro brews have started to offer these types of beers in bottles but not all of them are really good. Pic rel is my favorite though.

>>17308032
All the beers from Schlenkerla if you like smoked beer

>>17308063
Good selection, I'd add Andechs Doppelbock Dunkel off the top of my head.
Also consider some regional stuff, if you like Altbier Uerige and Füchschen are excellent.
Dont fall for German Pilsners, yes we make a lot of them but they get absolutely mogged by Czech Pilsners.
t. German

>>17308063
>Weihenstephaner hefeweizen
>Schneider aventinus
>Aecht schlenkerla rauchbier

Can confirm all of these are good. rauchbier is not for everyone but it's a great once in a while type of beer,

>>17308681
Who makes the best lagers?

>>17308681
>Dont fall for German Pilsners, yes we make a lot of them but they get absolutely mogged by Czech Pilsners
You're comparing apples to pears, my friend. I'd argue they are two different styles by now. The same way that Polish Pislner isn't the same as Czech Pislner.

>>17308106
purity law and they fuck with it plenty
https://movendi.ngo/blog/2016/02/25/german-beers-contaminated-with-pesticides/

>>17308793
They really fucked up by ignoring the pesticides level but that doesn't change the fact that only 4 basic ingredients are being used to produce beer. There're some beers or breweries that are allowed to deviate from the beer purity laws.

>>17308032
If you're not getting small glasses or Kölsch served from a circular carrier tray by a beautiful Rhenish fraulein, you're doing it wrong.

>>17308479
I can’t say I agree. If you like the banana clove wild thing, Paulaner is your fighter. If you like a more conservative but respectable profile, Weihenstephaner is your fighter. Personally, for BBQ, grilling, lewd conduct types of things, Paulaner with an orange wedge, for chess on a rainy winter night, Weihenstephaner.

>>17308843
>Paulaner, Weihenstephan
both of them are meme Weißbier in Germany.

>>17308793
The reinheitsgebot is still maintained and kept to.
It's basically a beer version of Whiskey naming.
Beers brewed in Germany cannot be called Beer if they contain anything other than water, malted barley, hops and yeast for bottom fermented beer.

These days it's just a labelling standard like Whiskey is where you can't call a whiskey Scotch if it's not from Scotland, single means one distillery and blend from multiple etc.

>>17308851
They’re the most popular by far where I live. German beers aren’t very popular on the West Coast in general. I’ll probably never return to Germany as a tourist, so good luck out there with your non-meme local stuff, which you apparently don’t value enough to name.

>>17308908
Can’t argue with that I suppose.

My dad's favourite was Jever, I prefer Flensburger but both are nice, crisp and bitter pilsners.
Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen is enjoyable as well. When I was in Munich earlier this week I mostly saw restaurants advertising they served beers like Hacker Pschorr, Erdinger, Paulaner and some other more run of the mill beers.

>>17308906
>Doesn’t share his supposed “expertise” at all

>>17308914
>Hacker Pschorr
Had that and enjoyed it. Completely forgot about it since typically it was only of draft at German places. No real bottle scene.
>Erdinger
Iirc, Erdinger really opened my eyes with their Dunkel. It was so dark yet so light drinking. If you blindfolded me, I would never have guessed it was almost opaque. A rainy winter Sunday beer for me.

Marzen is the only style that Germans actually do better than anyone else. Paulaner Mazen is one of the best beers on earth.

>>17308976
>Marzen is the only style that Germans actually do better than anyone else

Not available in Germany.

>>17309055

>>17309040
I find it amusing when US breweries use German things as a shtick. E.g. Shiner Bock, which isn't a Bock beer.

>>17308032
Rothaus is the GOAT pilsner

>>17309184
American whiteoid culture is overrun with "we wuz vikangs and sheeit" mentality

I always like Marzens. Just feel nice to drink for a few hours.

Yeah, I'm sure it's the Americans and not you who are the problem.

The best I've ever had are Jever (pils) and Edelstoff (Export)

Why does /ck/ have such a hard-on for wheat beers? I like them as much as the next guy but I almost never see anyone talk about beer without mentioning German wheat beer. Contrasting that I've never seen anyone mention Helles or Märzen or other light beers that are comfy to drink. Hell, not even Radlers get a mention.
Speaking of, Paulaner Münchner Hell is a great beer for sharing with your mates. It's basically the perfect beer to impress normies.

>>17308032
They are good, but they all taste the same in my experience.

>>17310278
Because Helles is the most boring beer style out there. Just sweet, flat beer with no bitterness or carbonation. It just exists to get shitfaced.

>>17310316
>Because Helles is the most boring beer style out there
based
>>17309467
When I started getting into beers I thought so too but now it's just in the higher mid category.

>>17310278
My guess is that people who start to expand their beer horizons are impressed with the interesting flavors present in wheat beers, while still being very sessionable. It's like a revelation when you've only been drinking american macro lager.

>>17310664
>sessionable
if I ever start using words like this unironically, I hope someone takes pity on me and puts a pillow over my face as I sleep

>>17310702
This. My favorite sessionable beer is PBR or Hammybear.

>>17308032
Augustiner or bust. Also i want to fuck her tits

Pilsner was created by a bavarian brewmaster hired by chzechs.

>>17310731
They have massive quality issues since their output exploded in the last 10 years. Sometimes its actually a bad beer nowadays. Not mediocre but really bottom tier.

>>17310806
But that's just the thing, it says more about the speaker than about the beer. It says I am an alcoholic who binge drinks so routinely that I need a euphemism for it

If you want to just say "low abv" then we already have that term too

>>17310246
next you'll tell me Austrians aren't German zoomer

>>17310914
Stupid strawman argument. A better argument would be that calling a light beer or low abv beer sessionable is just better marketing. Marketing that hyped up a somewhat useless word to describe beer in a way that removes itself from the stigma of macro brew lagers.

>>17310956
what the fuck is "sessionable"? the beer can be "sessioned"? that's not even a real verb.

>>17310968
It means that you can drink a lot of them without getting wasted.

>>17310968
Sessionable simply means that the beer is not overly heavy and a relatively larger quantity can be consumed without becoming "too much". Compare dribking a 6 pack of a 5% pale ale to a 4 pack of a 12% imperial stout.

>>17310968
Easy to drink.

>>17310988
You talk like a fag

>>17311024
May be so, but I still fuck your mother on a weekly basis.

>>17311030
Okay Jeffry Dahmer, you do you.

>>17311065
And your mother, god bless the old whore

>>17310905
That’s fucking depressing to hear because they always used to be my favorite out of the old Munich breweries

>>17310702
I know what you mean but sessionable has been in some use for 25 years or so. It's a bit of a ridiculous term but it encapsulates low abv, "easy to drink" and enjoyable in large amounts. It conveys a clear concept quite well so it is a good word.

>>17310731

Where can you buy German beer in the U.S.? Most places there's only an abysmal selection.

>>17308032
What kind of beers do you like?

>>17312106
Bevmo is reasonable for a beginner. They have enough of a selection to get you started on both german and belgian beers.

Find a local bottle shop for more esoteric or interesting bottles.

>>17312265
I’m a complete newb. I’ve only had big brand beers like heineken, guinness, corona, bud etc. I honestly like them all.

G*rms drink weak cheap beer. German rejects who immigrated to America is probably how we got such a taste for lagers, aka alcoholic water. Belgian stuff is worlds better, even their basic ales. Heck even the English make better beer and their cuisine is the worst.

>>17312438
If you try to get into German beers then I'd suggest you to try different beer styles from old breweries. Try to see what's available at your local import shop and research when the brewery was founded and what style they're known for. I think it's always best to get to know different beer styles by trying the og recipe first. Sometimes, new takes on old beer styles might taste completly different. I wouldn't want you to have the wrong impression.

>>17312480

Germans drink beers that are actually not painful to drink a lot of. The "high flavor" ones are shit and after you drink 6 or so, it starts to get annoying.

>>17308032
ASTRA RAKETEEEEEEEEE

>>17308032
GOD BIG TITTIES IN FRILLY DRESSES LOOK SO GOOD

>>17315554
Not a meme. Paulaner, Erdinger and Franziskaner are just the top 3 weißbier brands in Germany and available everywhere. That's why people drink them. They aren't bad but also pretty boring (just as many if not most brands in that style). You probably won't get any of the more interesting ones abroad as you can't even get them in most parts of Germany too.
Weihenstephaner on the other hand is a total meme. People here praise it while it's just a mediocre weißbier in Germany itself and not even close as popular as they make it seem. They just seem to have a good marketing team and got early into exporting their stuff.

German bros, is pic related any good?

It's the kind of beer I plan to just have 4 or 5 of and by the end of the night I've emptied the entire case

Do lagers need to be fermented in cold temp? Or is the bottom fermenting yeast only necessary?

>>17310641
This should get a you. It's a good beer. Generally just try a few microbreweries from South Germany. Visit Bamberg if you have the chance.

Altenmünster is also very nice. I mean just look at that, makes you fall in love really.
