Decades ago, I met a couple from Australia in a Bavarian beer garden. We had the time of our life. When we parted they gave me a pin with a kangaroo on it. What I didn´t know then - the pin was 18 ct. gold! They turned out to run a chain of Jewellry stores diwn under!

The child's drink will be Sprudel or "Apfelschorle" (apple juice with sparkling water). We have beer gardens here in the north of Germany, but we don't have the same culture round Biergarten as in southern Germany. My mother lives in Bavaria and when I visited her once, we went to the beer garden and she packed homemade potato salad and meatballs and dishes and I was confused to the maximum. In the beer gardens you are also allowed to bring food (at least with those where I was, perhaps not really common?). I sat there then in a beautiful beer garden at a former monastery, in the shade under centuries-old trees and we ate and ordered us drinks there, it was beautiful! We also quickly got into conversation with total strangers - that would happen quite rarely in northern Germany, we are a little less sociable. I got my first beer (two sips in a cup) at my church confirmation party, when I was just 13 years old. That's totally normal. However, I hated it. But the attitude has changed over the years. 😂🙈😂

In BG everything (sometimes even wine) comes in beer glasses 2) the big glass: (die Maß or Mass) is 1 liter (about 34 Oz) in most BG there is also the smaller glass (half of it) but not always. 3) bring your food: do NOT bring food in BG outside Bavaria, in all other states is usually not permitted. In particular occasions like Oktoberfest's Wiesn you can't bring your food even in Bavaria 4) Pfand/deposit: the amount of it is arbitrary, they give and request the coin to avoid people to take glass were is cheaper and bring it where is more expensive or racking unattended glasses around to pocket the money

The first time I got drunk as a German must have been when I was six. But not on purpose, I confused cider with apple juice because the bottle looked identical and I mean even the same brand. Even if it tasted a little strange, I drank enough to be a little drunk. When I was 14, my parents would regularly allow me to drink alcohol at special events and parties. As 16 I started trying harder things like vodka and now that I'm 21 I've had several crazy parties, some of which were just drinking orgies. That's why I've taken a step back and only drink up to about five glasses at parties and only if you have food to compensate.

The ceramic beer mugs are where the word beer stein comes from. In Germany, ceramics are called Steingut (literally "stone ware").

Kids are allowed to go to a bar in Germany, but (of course) there are certain rules about it. Depending on the age of the child, it needs to be accompanied by an adult. Also, after a certain time (I think 10 pm) children under the age of 16 are not permitted to enter or stay at a bar. There are a lot of additional rules and exceptions though, which are too many to list here.

A little tip if you visit a beer garden in Bavaria. If you toast each other, it is possible that someone will do an extra cheer on the table with the bottom of the mug. In this case, everyone must do this before they drink. If you don't do it, you have to pay for the round. ☝🏻

I grew up in Munich, and have been living in Berlin since 2003. I miss the Bavarian beer gardens. It's so nice to be able to bring your own food (at least in the self-service area of the Biergarten), as long as you buy something to drink. Especially for families it's great to be able to bring some stuff from outside (e.g. make your own salad, or bring butter and cheese to go with your Brezn). In Berlin I haven't found a real beer garden where you can do that yet.

Nice my hometown! :) The architecture that amazes you is "Das Martinstor" The gate tower, built around 1250, originally had a forecourt facing the city moat and was open to the city side. Only in 1547 was it completed with a stone wall facing the city. A stair tower was added in 1572. In 1120 the settlement was granted city rights.

10:20 It seems to be "Apfelschorle" (applejuice with sparkling water).

The "Wine" is Weinschorle so Sparkling Water with Wine

I worked in exactly that Beer Garden for 2 years. It is called "Kastaniengarten" (Chestnut Garden because of the trees) and has one of the nicest views in the whole City. Freiburg is my Home town woohoo 🥳😄 I lived there the first 22 years of my life.

hi Ryan, i really enjoy your reacts! Here's the thing with the "limb" sausage: It's not limb at all, those are two seprate "Weißwürste", white sausages, that are like still interconnected with a little string between them. So this is where Wolter put the fork trough and why it appears to be limb from this angle

In Germany you can drink beer and wine as young as 14 if accompanied by parents. 16 for beer and wine alone and 18 is just open end.

I lived in Germany when I was born until I was almost 6 and we grew up drinking Malzbier which in English is described as a non-alcoholic malt beverage. Looks similar to beer and often comes in a beer-like bottle. Can get some with a little bit of alcohol in, but the one we drank as kids was alcohol free, and so is the one we can get in England.

The glass of wine wasn't only wine. In Austria we call it Spritzer, in Germany Weißweinschorle. It's half wine and half sparkling water. It's refreshing. Especially in summer. Making eye contact when you chear is more of a sign of respect for the other guy you chear with. You raise your glass to somebody and not to the drink.

"Vom Fass" and "Selbstbedienung" translates to "from the barrel" (tap beer instead of bottled beer) and "self service", if you were wondering...

Oh Freiburg, that's my city. We have tons of beer gardens here, about 5 or 6 breweries (at least 2 of which are just beer restaurants who brew their own beer, like Fireling), countless beer gardens and even beer stores that sell only beer. And that despite being actually in the middle of the vine area of Germany, surrounded by vinyards. And surrounded by countless villages and small towns who have their wine fests all autumn long. Even the university of Freiburg owns their own vinyard AND their own wine cellar where they make and store their own wine. As for the limp white sausage, i think that's one of those without a skin that has been boiled or smth. And yes, the city center of Freiburg is a historical medieval town. First settlements in this area have been documented around 1,000 AD (but as often, there are traces and signs of settlements hundreds if not thousands of years BC). A castrum was built at the end of the 11th century (on top of a mountain next to the settlement at an important trading route of the area - the very same castle where now a popular beer garden is, i think the very same where the video was filmed) and it became an official city a few decades later by getting the market right granted - which is a kinda fast developement tbh. It burned down several times to the ground during the medieval periods, and rebuilt again - a very common thing. And another common thing: Like every bigger city in Germany it was bombed down to the ground. Except for the minster (the main church of Freiburg, that actually does not and never did belong to the church or religious group but to the citizens of Freiburg - cause they built it themselves with their own money and donations, while the catholic church left them hanging. Took them a few centuries though) and the surrounding market place, where there are still markets every other day. The citizens rebuilt and reconstructed the historical city center as closely as possible to the original, with some improvements (like thei height of some living houses or safety measures). Except a few ugly grey designer buildings were added in the 1970s, they liked grey ugly buildings back then.

from what I could get when I asked a lot of time ago you are usually allowed to take the glass home as a souvenir if you want, and that is usually fine cause you had payed for it, but if everybody did they would end up without glasses so the deposit is usually more than the inherent value of a glass/mug. But this also means that someone else could tecnically go there and "give back" glasses they have got somewhere else without buying beer. The coin is the proof you are a client who payed the deposit in that specific biergarten

4:07 to everyone curios what this says: Essentially it means From the Barrel (the beer) and the second part says self service.

You absolutely need to find out about that sausage! It is called Weißwurst (White sausage) and it is a very common breakfast food here in Bavaria.

my guess is the plastic coin is an insurance measure. basically to prove you actually did pay for one of those big mugs. because otherwise someone could just grab an empty mug sneakily and take it back and get someone else's money. this way you gotta present the coin with the mug to prove you actually paid for a mug

"Selbstbedienung" means "Help yourself". I think the kid is drinking an "Apfelschorle" = sparkling water/applejuice-mix (very refreshing in summertimes).

"Vom Fass" means 'on tap' but it literally translates as "from the barrel". "Selbstbedienung" = 'self service' as in you go to the counter, get your stuff there and carry it back. Because many beer gardens have both a service, and a self-service counter. At the service counter you just order your comestibles, and get served at your table, for slightly higher prices. At the self-service counter you have to do all the carrying and walking, for a slightly lower price. The reason for beer gardens was that breweries often used pre-existing caves or at least large dug-out basements that were covered in thick layers of soil to give them insulation during the summer. In the winter large blocks of ice were carried in to cool these basements. But the breweries didn't want to haul huge barrels of beer up top, so they sold their beers directly at their storage cellars. Soon it became obvious that a shadowed canopy of trees gave even better insulation and cooling effects instead of allowing the sun to burn directly on the ground. Even the gravel covers were used to increase the insulation.

I've been to lots of beer gardens, particularly in Bayern. Some have specialty kitchens for fish or game. Mostly though, we take our own picnic but add something from the garden's kitchen that is best eaten hot, such as leberkäse or wurst or even fried potatoes. Many bigger gardens have live music on summer evenings too.

Most beer gardens I've been to do have servers who will bring you your food and drinks. At least in smaller villages and towns, this seems to be the norm, but maybe not everywhere. The big beer gardens in bigger cities like Munich often have a served area and a self service area. I mean most people would prefer service over self service, so smaller beer gardens do it, but the really big ones simply have such a large area, that it would not be economically viable to have servers for all the tables. waitresses would have to walk pretty long distances just to get to their tables.

That kid drinks Apfelschorle (Apple juice with sparkling water). Funny thing though, the first time I drank beer (like 2 or 3 sips) I was around 3 years old. My dad told me I took his glass, tried it, made a face showing it tasted bad and one moment later trying again to see if it tastes better this time. Also when my little brother was 4 or 5, my father once left his beer in the kitchen. When he returned, my brother came through the door, said(translated): now you don’t have to say anything daddy!, went in his room and immediately fell asleep. He drank nearly half of the beer. Still a story for good laughs today.

Concept is originally, that women can bring their own Wine (against a small fee), while beer must be bought at the Beer Garden. Also food can be from home.

The coin you get sometimes when you have Pfand on mugs is for places that have different vendors with beers and mugs from different breweries, so there is no mix-up and you have to exchange them later. On christmas markets you have to pay Pfand, too. But since in most cases all vendors use the same mugs (in many cities with the year and the city name on it) you can give it back to any vendor. And at christmas market you hold your mugs in your hands most of the time cause a. there a no tables to sit on and b. it cold outside and a hot mug in your hands is a good thing you don't want to miss. It also prevents theft., Without the coin no money back, so if someone "finds" the mug on your table and tries to bring it back... bad luck. Speaking of bad luck: If you don't in the eyes while saying "Prost" it brings bad luck in the department he points to in the next picture (down there). Or for us simple folks: Seven years of bad sex. I don't know if that's worse than non or better...

8:00 because if you just bring back the glas you could have taken it from any table but with the coin it proofs that it was actually who bought it and most of them have the own coins so they know its from that Beer garden not just the same glas

I remember as a kid, I always drank apple juice and had fun acting "drunk" xD just something ALL German kids did

Kids drinking out of the beer glasses is pretty normal (especialy when it's bussi and the bartender doesn't have time to get other glasses), but they're not filled with alcohol because this would lead to the owner loosing his business licence and a big fine for him and the employee who served it... This looks like "Spezi" (a mix of cola and orange lemonade) or "Apfelschorle" (mix of apple juice and sparkling water) the biggest stone mug I've seen is 3 liters in Salzburg, Austria (the local brewery "Stiegl" has them given to a local bar) but the standard sizes are "Halbe" - 0.5 liters or "Maß" - 1 liter.

The beer glasses/mugs have a different size depending where you are. In Bavaria you will find very very large beer glasses. But in the Rhine region you will get very small glasses

8:00 they often make the deposit higher than the value of the Mug, so you are really incentivised to bring them back. To prevent people vom scamming them by returning Mugs they bought somewhere else you get a token with the Mug.

This ceramic beer mug is also called Stein " stone"

However, you are allowed to drink at the age of 14, if your legal guardian allows it. 2:40 That's a common size for wine here. either as a "viertele" (viertel = quarter = 250ml / 8oz) of pure wine or a "Schorle" mixed half/half with carbonated water. In the state Pfalz, thee is also the "Schoppe" - same as a Schorle, but half a liter. 5:20 That's a stoneware Maß. The material is very thick, so the mug needs to be bigger. However, drinking from those mugs may come close to a workout, totalling at 2 to 2,5 kg 8:00 The coins prevent people from collecting / stealing another ones Pfand 8:45 The "Stammtisch" means serious business. It is usually reserved for a group of very regular customers. Usually the Stammtisch(-group) meets at fixed times of the week. if you don't belong to that group, you usually avoid sitting there, even if it's free. 9:35 Not bad luck. It's 7 years of bad sex. 11:05 seriously?? 12:05 That's a Weißwurst (white saussage) made of veal or pork and herbs. The white color comes from the usage of normal table salt instead of nitrite salt which usually preserves the rosy color. It comes boiled and is usually served with sweet mustard and a Brezel

Allthough it certainly is all a matter of taste, it actually makes more sense to get smaller glasses or mugs, because this prevents the beer from getting stale and too warm too soon, and it prevents you from getting wasted too fast (since you don`t want your Maß to be stale or warm half way through).

In Germany there are a few Drinking Ages 14 - if you are with your parents they can allow you to drink alcohol in public 16 - you are allowed to buy/drink beer/wine/sparkling wine in public on your own (i you are not looking/acting drunk) 18 - you are allowed to buy/drink all the alcohols But the kid looks like its most probably "Apfelschorle" - Schorle is a big thing here in Germany, basically any fruit juice + sparklign water is a Schorle - so Apfelschorle is Apple Juice + Sparkling Water, looks color wise liek beer and also has foam (for a bit) like beer, There is also Weinschorle where which is wine + sparkling water - i think in english its called wine spritzer

Those are two sausages, one hanging on each side of the fork. In Germany sausages with a natural casing often come in strings or at least pairs.

You know the first 30 seconds of the video will be clipped and you'll never live that down? :D 12:15 Those are our famous "Weißwurst" (white sausage). Those are two and they're still connected by the skin. This type of sausage, popular in the South of Germany, is always served in pairs .

They are mostly eaten at brunches or in beer gardens and are served with sweet mustard, pretzels and for those who like it, beer.

The Kids Drink would most likely be "apfelschorle". Apfel means Apple and schorle is a special Kind of Drink that almost always contains of some sort of fruit Juice and sparkling water. It is really refreshing

You really have to come over here this year. I think you will really enjoy it.

That "limp sausage" was a pair of Weißwurst (white sausage, a very much n Bavarian type of sausage), held up by the casing linking the pair 🙃.

The child most likely drinks "Apfelschorle", which is apple juice and sparkling water mixed 50:50. Even in Germany, such small children certainly do not drink alcohol. The mother's drink is "Weinschorle", which is white wine mixed with sparkling water in a ratio of 50:50. No one serves wine from such a tumbler in a restaurant, even in a beer garden one would drink pure wine from a real wine glass. )

The white sausages you saw, just hanging from the fork, were 2 sausages bent togther. 🤗

You need due coin, because the glass is worth less than 5 euros. You could theoretically bring glasses from home and "sell" them for 5 euros. With the missing coin this is not possible.

12:10 It‘s a Weißwurst (white saussage) - or better say it‘s 2 of them together. He holds them on the fork in the „joint“ area. So it‘s not soft but just one of the 2 hanging in front. The reason why it‘s dripping: Weißwurst is not grilled but boiled in hot water. You eat them with sweet grainy mustard instead of normal mustard. And don’t forget to peel em, you don’t eat the skin. Also they are not a GERMAN thing but originating from Bavaria. Still you can buy em all over Germany in supermarkets.

8:06 Because it is a cheap sponsored mug from the beer company. You can buy those online or in the breweries giftshop. You can get them from other sponsored gastronomie enterprises and so on. It is not a common grift but some crafty buggers can get their hands on those mugs for under 5Euro. Lets say for 2,50 so if you refunde them 2,50 profit per mug. If they do this on a busy summer day they can get around 100 to 200 mugs in before the staff realizes what is going on. That would be 500 to 1000 Euros damage and 250 to 500 Euros profit for the grifters. The pink coin is a 2 times authentification, smart beergardens have 5 different colours of coins and use a random colour each day. P.S.: For the beergarden the mug was free (sponsored) or something like 1 Euro 50 Cents per mug tops.

Exactly, that's also why you don't need t worry about "stealing" them. Usually those places would indeed be VERY happy to sell you the mug for the price of the deposit. So general advice is to just ask for a clean one to take home. Almost always you will just get it. The only exception being if they are currently running dangerously low.

@@hurtigheinz3790 Getting custom injection molds in small quantity is too expensive. And that supplier probably won't sell them to you. So yes, it's possible and not too complicated. but in practice irrelevant. If you want to jump through this many hoops just to steal a small amount of cash. Mind that they will likely find you out rather fast, if you try something worthwhile. So if you wanna do this much work you are way better of doing something more productive with that energy. So even in the best case, say you get exactly those coins. That's an extra step that significantly diminishes your margin of profit.

@@hurtigheinz3790 That is why you rotate the colours. It doesn´t make the mug scam impossible but a little bit harder.

The grey mugs are Beersteins they are made from clay. There is a real culture behind it with painted Steins with Tin caps on hinges. The 'limp' sausage near the end is actually two sausage links called weiswurst (white sausage) that are connected, you skin them and eat them with (normally sweet, i prefer mildly hot) mustard and a brezn.

Those ceramic mugs are great for the summer because you can put them into a freezer and they will keep the beer nice and cold.

Taking a game serious isn't a problem, as long as that means you try to be serious about the rules and how the game is played. If it means a need to win... you should be in a competition, not in a beergarden. Playing games in a beergarden is first of all about enjoying yourself, and providing that same enjoyment to *ALL* other participants in the game.

I used to drink beer as a kid, Malzbier (malt beer or brown ale) which is a non-alcoholic beverage like root beer but tastes totally different.

"If you have beer at a local event, it's pretty much like" *loud Kyle sounds*

@1:06 hey, I was born in Freiburg 🙂 in summer time i often meet friends at the beer garden and play card games.

Summertime and beer gardens. The beer gardens, if they are a little outside, often have a playground. Parents can chat over a drink and the "midgets" always pop in for a drink or a snack. No one is stressed, everyone goes home in a good mood.

Oh. I think I told you once before - when in France, I would sometimes see parents pushing the wine glass to the childrens mouths, as they must become connoisseurs at an early age, and in any case they have to study vinicology as part of their school curriculum.

The stripe you saw on the Beermug is basicly the bottom of the Glass, its nearly a centimeter thick. Greetings from Germany and dont forget dont mess with the "Stammtisch" 😜

12:04 That was white sausage (Weißwurst) often eaten with sweet mustard (süßer Senf Händlmaier, my favorite). White sausage is eaten in the south of germany. Currywurst or Bratwurst (Thüringer) is eaten in north of Germnany. You get it in many places.

Die besten Bratwürste gibt's in Nürnberg

I´m German and i remember when i was a kid that greek restaurant we went to as a family from time to time ( probably because they had a little room with a cartoon cinema and we the kids were quiet then ^^ ) always served one shot of liquor before the food came and one with the bill on the house and the kids got also one. Our "Kinderschnaps", which was basically Sprite in a shot glass, but we felt so damn grown up :D ! Well here in Germany you can´t bring your kids with you in a Stripclub or a Nightbar, but everywhere else it is no problem...i mean they sell you beer, wine and liquor at every aqua park or literally at every little street store, where we used to buy our candies and comics and stuff. You can get alcohol 24/7 here in Germany, but bread from a bakery only from 5 to 6 and sundays you can´t even buy fresh bread, but hey 3 beers equals a sandwhich and 5 beers equals a Schnitzel as we say here.

It's time for me to go back to a beer garden again in summer. Greetings from Germany

„DO“ in a beergarden: set up your tripod, film yourself in public, talk to your camera explaining the beergarden and let the Stammtisch-Ehrengäste behind you try to figure out wtf youre doing

That kid didn't have beer. It probably just was some schnaps. Also that wasn't a sausage. It was a Schmatznpudelgreitiflonk or some other kind of greitiflonk

2:41 That is a genuine wine glass in Baden-Württemberg. In restaurants you get other glasses too, but on street fairs, exhibitions, beer gardens you will get a glass like this when you order wine. This glass holds a quarter liter of wine (0,25 l) as you can see just under the fill line , which is the standard order for wine in the south.

In Rhineland-Palatine a glas wine is a "Schoppen" 1/2 l is normal (Glühwein too🤪)

The sausage in the end is a Bavarian "Weißwurst".

I'm pretty sure that kid is drinking an "Apfelschorle", a mix of A-juice and soda.

The Sausage he ate is typical Bavarian traditional White Sausage. You eat it for breakfast with sweet brown mustard and warm fresh bretzels from the oven.

I wouldn't say for breakfast - except if the breakfast is taken rather late. In many regions in Germany, particularly in the south, there's a break before noon known as Brotzeit or Vesper(-zeit) when workers will take a break (typically around 9 - 10 am) to eat eg a Bretzel or a sandwich. But the Brotzeit can be a little bit more extended to have some sausages and other slightly more elaborated dishes.

There are definitely 18Plus Bars in Germany but the "Wirtshäuser" or Inns in English and Biergarten are open for everyone

The Pfand (deposit) pink plastic coin is to make sure you got this mug here in the biergarten and not a mug looking the same from elsewhere. so that they do not pay for mugs where they did not receive any money at first. Hope I could explain it.

4:06 „VOM FASS 🍺 SELBSTBEDIENUNG“ means „from keg 🍺 selfservice“ .. soo the beer is not from bottle, but from keg … where the tab got feeded from.

The sausage at the end is actually two sausages. It's a pair of Weißwurst, they are usually served in pairs and not seperated so they are easier to pick up with a fork as shown in the video

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us!

Here in Australia you can get zero alcohol beer and it tastes like regular beer, which also means can have like dad does.

You can get beer without alcohol in Germany too. Even in most of the beer gardens. Actually it's been developed to taste so good that it's consumed more often now in comparison to say 20 years ago.
