Honey beer is not for everyone and is sold in small quantities. However, it is good to try them. Some people love them. Poland has really good beer. However, you have to find your way. The oldest breweries in Poland date back over 800 years. For the sake of curiosity, I will say that in Poland, apart from the normal consumption of this drink, there is another way. We heat the beer and pour a certain amount of juice into it, for example raspberry or blackcurrant juice. This warm beer with juice is really surprisingly good.

In Poland, honey beers account for a very small fraction of what Poles drink.

The German beer was a wheat beer there of such a different character. Most beer is brewed from barley, but it is also possible to brew beer from wheat, rye, corn and rice. If you want to learn a little more about different beer types: Lager: Brewed from carefully dried malt and is under-fermented. They are usually divided into three groups. American and Asian lagers: Very light lager beers that contain more raw fruit and less hops than other lagers. They have a light and fresh character and are suitable as uncomplicated thirst quenchers. European lager: The Dane Emil Christian Hansen, researcher at Carlsberg, had a key role when the European lager was developed. European lagers have a milder aroma and flavor profile than the German and Czech pilsner lagers. Czech and German pilsner: The third group consists of the original Czech and German pilsner varieties that have a more distinct character. The beer has a greater fullness and a clearer bitterness compared to later lagers. Other types of lager beer: There are also other lager beers such as Viennese lager that has had to give way in favor of pilsner lager, but it lives on in the Czech Republic, southern Germany and Denmark. Dark lager is another bottom-fermented beer. Originally, all bottom-fermented lagers were dark and it was only around the time of the First World War that the light lager became more common than the dark. Baltic porter is historically associated with the original porter that British merchants brought to the Baltics in the 18th century. It has an intense taste with aromas of coffee, chocolate and licorice. Spontaneously fermented beer: Spontaneous fermentation means that free yeast particles in the air start the fermentation process, and not added yeast. Before the industrialization of beer, it was common for the beer to sour during storage due to the presence of multiple strains of yeast as well as lactic acid and bacteria. These bacteria were widespread and a scourge to brewers until they learned to pasteurize the beer and isolate the yeast strains. But there were also breweries that learned to use the spontaneous fermentation to enhance the taste and add balance and freshness to the beer. Today, sour beer is quite uncommon, but interest in this type of beer has increased in recent times. Lambic is an example of a spontaneously fermented beer type typical of Belgium. ferments and ages Belgian spontaneous beer often in oak barrels for up to three years before bottling, and the result is a completely unique beer. Ale: In everyday speech, ale usually means the vast majority of types of over-fermented beer. However, the differences between the different ale types are large. Blond ale: Light ale brewed according to the Belgian method. The beer is produced by fermentation, usually at a high alcohol content, with a Belgian type of yeast that adds very strong fruity notes to the beer. Pale ale (bitter): Light ale brewed according to the British method. Plenty of malt and large amounts of hops. Pale ale has more bitterness, less fruity aroma and, as a rule, lower alcohol content than the Belgian ale. Brown ale: Both England and Belgium still have strong traditions in dark ale brewing. British brown ale is usually a little weaker than the slightly sweeter Belgian counterpart, but in both varieties the dark malt sets the tone for the taste picture. Wheat beer: Wheat beer is brewed from wheat malt, barley malt and hops and comes from the Bavarian and Belgian beer tradition. In Bavaria, wheat beer is brewed exclusively on malt and hops in accordance with the Bavarian purity law Reinheitsgebot from the year 1516, while the Belgians add spices to the wheat beer and increase its acidity slightly with the help of lactic acid. Otherwise, both countries' wheat beers are over-fermented and have a fruity and spicy aroma. Stout and Porter: Porter was originally a British type of beer and the term stout was initially used only for the most alcoholic varieties. Today it is difficult to make a clear distinction between stout and porter. What they all have in common is that they have a well-developed body and a strong aroma that comes from the hard roasted malt.

@tangfors

2 ай бұрын

@@73smoo It's German so don't really know the language. But I can almost figure out what it means as I'm Swedish . Obergärig means the beer is top fermented. (Top-fermented beer is beer that has been fermented at a relatively high temperature and where the yeast thereby ends up on the surface due to the yeast accompanying the carbon dioxide bubbles up, hence the name top-fermented beer. Over-fermented beer is characterized by the fact that the yeast gives significantly more flavor to the beer than under-fermented beer) Untergärig means that it is bottom fermented. (Bottom-fermented beer is a designation for beer that uses a slow-fermenting yeast culture that is fermented at a low temperature. The yeast then sinks quite quickly to the bottom, hence the name. Over 90 percent of all beer that is brewed is bottom-fermented and usually also light, this despite the fact that this type of beer is relatively young)

@@73smooit's the difference between ale and lager. Beer was originally invented "obergärig" aka top-fermented, then in the 1800s the untergärig, bottom formented was coming through and is now known as a lager. the Lagers are fermented slowly at low temperature, it is less common to brew at home, compared to the other variant for that reason.

We in Ukraine have lots of brands with honey beer, and the quality and tastes ranges from outright repulsive to heavenly.

Pedro is right, you guys need smaller glasses, especially thinner walled ones. at this point I'd say a regular waterglass is better than those big ones. although the middle one is a generic Weizen glass so it fit's for that. you could google the glasses and see how close you get with what you have at home: bigger white wine glasses for the pilsners, red for the belgians, and water glasses are always game... all of these have their special glasses and it's a world to explore. different sizes, artwork, shapes... my parents collected Bitburger and special edition Kölsch glasses. that wall had quite some pretty ones and I'm still convinced you can taste a difference between the shapes.

Pedro is the true beer connoisseur. He mentioned smaller glasses would be better for a taste session and he knows how to pour beer correctly to avoid unnecessary amounts of foam. I understood that American beer usually doesn't produce much foam. But European beer does. Thus to pour European beer into a glass you must start by holding the glass almost horizontally and slowly turning it upright whilst pouring the beer. Just avoid that the beer makes a deep fall into the glass. Or ask Pedro to show you guys, he knows how to pour a beer. I live in the Netherlands, less than a half-hour by car from the Belgian border. We can buy here Duvel and Leffe in the supermarket. But usually I drink it in the pub. There have been nights that I drank 6 or 7 of those Dubel bottles.

German wheat or wheat beer is a top-fermented beer that is made with top-fermented yeast from wheat malt (over 50%) and also uses barley malt, the only one in Europe. The top-fermenting yeast differs from bottom-fermenting yeast (used for all bottom-fermenting beers such as Pils, Export, Märzen, etc.), which therefore taste different.

You should try Hoegaarden, it's REALLY good! Also do a Grimbergen Blonde, I'd say it beats Leffe Also, angle the glass more when you pour! Start at around 70 degrees and slowly go vertical as it fills up, you don't want it to splash down into the glass.

Beer pouring tip: pouring beer on beer gives foam, pouring beer on glass gives clear beer. So if you wanna pour the perfect drink, pour onto the glass holding it at 45° till you're forced to stop tilting it, then hold the glass vertically and pour onto the beer.

In Belgium we actually use various toasts. Which one is most commonly used depends on the region. In Wallonia, the French-speaking region; obviously "santé" is most commonly used. In Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region, there are various types of toasts. Some are more common depending on the exact location in Flanders. I'll list them below: "Santé": is used in Flanders too. It's more common in the western half of Flanders. "Schol": along with "santé" the most commonly used drinking toast. Is mostly heard in the eastern half of Flanders. "Proost": often used in the Netherlands, can also be found in Flanders (especially in the bigger cities and along the border with the Netherlands). "Tsjing/Ching (or also Ching-Ching)": an onomatopoeia for glasses that clink. In my experience, it's mostly used during family gatherings when drinking champagne or wine, but in other circumstances too. It's generally used more in the centre of Flanders. "(Op je) Gezondheid": a literal translation of santé to Dutch. There are also toasts that are very, very rare, such as "lechaim", which is derived from Hebrew (thus mostly found in Jewish communities). "Cheers" actually isn't unheard of either. All of these are used everywhere in Flanders, some are just used more often depending on the region, person, circumstance etc.

I really had to laugh when nobody (except Pedro) knew how to open a pop-top. These are totally normal in Germany. Like on bottles of the brand "Flensburger Pilsener" from the north of Germany or "Schuhmacher-Alt" or "Füchschen-Alt". As far as beer is concerned, it becomes "more bitter" the further north you go. Whether you like it depends on your personal taste, of course. But what you shouldn't miss is Alt-Bier from Düsseldorf on the Rhine. Totally delicious and definitely different from the usual blond beers. I recommend it: Diebels Alt, Frankenheim, Füchschen, or Schuhmacher, which are all Alt beer breweries in Düsseldorf. Fun fact: Just 50 km away, in Cologne, they brew a totally different beer (Kölsch), which we Düsseldorfers hate to death (the rivalry between these two cities is legendary in soccer, ice hockey, etc.) I love your beer content!!!!

A three year old should be able to open it without ever seeing it before. The system is quite obvious... and it's actually best opened by pushing it out with both thumbs, rather than pulling it. It's easier and much more controlled that way... It's actually concerning that they needed Pedro to show them, regardless of the fact that they've never seen it before. It's beyond obvious...

Lots of fun discovering all these beers. A pro tip, you kept all your beers at 3°C/37°F, this temperature is fine for Lager, IPA and Weizen style of beers, but the Belgian blonde, double and tripple beers and dark beers in general should be best enjoyed at a temperature between 8-12°C or 47-53°F. I have worked at a brewery where we had these bottles with the china and wire caps, and we had a machine which could automatically close these caps after filling. It was an absolute dog to get working properly and when the wires on the caps were slightly bent it wouldn't close them. I was really good at finetuning this machine but still you got bottles that were not closed and you then had to close these manually while moving down the conveyor! It's a type of closure much older than the crown caps, but crown caps work a lot better in a machine.

You should try different “Kasteel” beer, its belgium beer and they have a lot of interesting flavours. Raspberry, chocolate/coffee, tripple,.. they are very good! Some you should try as well are: Omer, Trippel karmeliet, Westmalle, Rochefort and Le Fort

Just a tip, a weizen beer needs to be poured into 1 glass, just before the bottle is empty roll it around because the "weizen" sits in the bottom of the bottle , then pour it in the glass, then you get the real weizen experience

@gabibavaria

It´s not the weizen that sits on the bottom, it`s the yeast. And the Hofbräu Weizen Beer is with yeast, that`s why it looks a little bit milky.

I think Señor Pedro should take charge of these beer tasting sessions - the man knows what he's talking about. Also, he is the coolest guy on this channel. Sorry, Ian. It was funny watching you discover the Quillfeldt bottle top. I always thought it was an american invention - you see homesteaders im movies with bail topped bottles and jars - I assumed you would all be familiar with it.

when you pour a Weizen (whitebeer) you push the whole bottle into the whitebeer glass and then slowly pull it out as the glass fills up and you hold it with a slight pitch. People are scared that it will overflow and pull it out too fast..just chill and slowly but constantly pull it out. When it´s nearly finish stop the pour and slew the bottle so all the deposits on the ground gets flushed out with the creamy foam as you finish it into the glass. and you should try "Murphy´s Irish Stout" in one of your episodes

FYI any beer that says Weizen or Wit is a wheat beer, and mostly always between 4.5% and 6% alchohol. It's cloudy, lighter in colour than Pilsener and less bitter. It was invented (or discovered) in Belgium.

The "weird" opener you guys saw is an evidence for us in France and i believe in all Europe. This type of conservation is the first one which was invented , we utilise this simple technology almost everyday for everything we want to use in a couple months : vegetables, fruits, any meat or venison with a couple potatoe , carrot, onion, etc , you open it when you lack fresh food and there is absolutely no comparison with industrial garbage we use to eat. When it is green beans, tomato, peaches, pineapple, cherries, or even duck, rabbit, etc 'season, you cook them , you put them into jars with this kind of jointed opener, then you put it in boiling water for a couple hours and VOILÀ. You can keep food for almost a year from fresh fruits, vegetables and meat that you couldnt eat the day you grabbed it. Salute to you from France (we are proud we invented that food préservation system that solved many issues and keep on doing it instead of choosing industriel products, well some of us keep on doing it) Sorry for my english ❤ Have a good one , folks !

With those big glasses, tilt the glass 45 degrees and hold the end of the bottle close to the glass as it pours (you don't want the beer dropping from too high up). This will prevent all that foam building up. Then when you want to start creating foam to finish it off, hold the glass level, anything you pour after that will be foam.

You are such a sweet family and it's so fun to watch you enjoy the different beers! I found it so cute how much you can enjoy a bottle and a bubble!

Seein you pour the Weißbier (even though I don't like Weißbier) broke my heart. If you pour it like a normal beer, it turns almost completely into foam. If you wanna do this the 'right' (read: Bavarian or Wurttembergian) way, take the glass your dad had, tilt it to the side until it is almost completely vertical and then pour the beer whilst gently getting the glass more and more upright. Then, if you're down to the last eigth of the bottle, put the glass upright, swirls the beer in the bottle and 'cast the crown' by pouring the foamy rest on top of the beer. If done right, one of those bottles will fill that glass exactly to the brim. (Your dad had the right idea)

So much fun seeing you discover Leffe again and sticking with the 10 ! Some of my favorite beers are Westmalle Triple, Triple Karmeliet, la trappe quadruple, Hapkin, gouden carolus tripel, omer, ommegang, St bernardus abt12, Victoria, duvel and chouffe ofcourse. It would be amazing to see you try one of these! It's best in its own glass and without too much foam. A little trick is to wet the glass with water first and pour the beer slowly, holding the glass at an angle of around 45degrees. When you near the end of the bottle, you slowly tilt the glass straight and pour directly in the middle. For duvel we used to say that it has to have about 2 fingers of foam. Looking forward to your next video! Schol 🍻

Loved the video! Looks like you guys have a lot of fun doing these! I've tasted all these beers. Chouffe is amazing. Leffe is my go to beer and I want one that's not too expensive!

26:04 we basically use all the different ways/words to raise a drink together but i think “Schol” (or any slang/dialect variation on it) is the most used in the flemish (Dutch speaking) part of Belgium! Sante is Much used to 😊

You tasted the Devil, El Diablo in Dutch Duvel :-) It is brewed near Antwerp Belgium. This beer is twice fermented ( so that's why it is stronger) and the last fermentation is in the bottle. Duvel has a higher protein content and that is why it is more foamy and the foam is more durable. Duvel is quite hopped and that's why it is bitter which is suitable for warm weather as the bitterness is thirst quencing.
