  1. So we had a great time in Germany during our one week visit. I think we tried more than 30 different beers and these ones were the personal favorite of mine.

    I think i like wheat beers …….

  2. No your taste is ok. They are an industrial product made by pretty big companies but in the end a Paulaner or Franziskaner is fine.

  3. From the famous industrial ones, those were the only ones I could drink. Nowadays you can get Neumarkter Lammsbräu almost anywhere ;that’s my favorite from the big ones now.

  4. Imo these two are okayish wheat beers. There are better ones, but you wouldn’t find most of them in a standard supermarket. My favourite wheat beers are Huppendorfer and Gutmann. I also like Schneider Weisse and Maisels Weisse. The latter are easier to get. The first two not so much.

    Edit: just realised Maisels and Schneider are in fact in the picture.

  5. You also should have tried Flensburger Pilsner. A beer from northern Germany and the best one btw 😉

  6. The best beer is the one you like the most, taste is subjective and it’s perfectly fine if your favourites aren’t the beers that are typically seen as the “best”.

  7. Its *ok*. No seriously, if it hits your taste its a good choice. I might get disendowed by my family for saying this but I enjoy Faxe beer very much.

  8. As long as the price of the beer is higher than the „Pfand“ everything is fine

    Edit: I‘m from Hamburg, north Germany and I absolutely don’t like Weißbier, my favorite beer is Ratsherrn, it has a very rich hop taste

  9. You like Hefe-Weizen apparently. Its a pretty narrow selection from the entirety of German beers , but otherwise there isnt anything wrong with it.

  10. Just drink whatever you want, if you like those beers, just enjoy them, there is no “bad taste” in that regards.

  11. I prefer Weihenstephaner or Augustiner, really the local beer wherever you are in Germany is usually a good choice.

  12. There is no bad taste in beer. The right beer is the beer you like, and the right way to drink it is the way you like. If you like a beer’s taste, then that’s wonderful. Drink it and don’t let anybody tell you that you shouldn’t, because that brand is bad or whatever.

    >!Unless you drink Kölsch. Then you’re a monster. What’s wrong with these people …!<

  13. And now squirt a dash of banana juice before pouring those hefeweizen, and be surprised by how incredibly well those go together! (I know it’s herecy, but as a Ruhrpottler I am allowed to desecrate Weizen and get away with it =) )

  14. These are mass produced supermarket beers.

    If you like them, cool. But you’re not drinking anything fancy. US equivalent “fancy level” is maybe something like Heineken, Blue Moon, or Sam Adam’s. Nicer than bud light, coors, or corona. But nothing fancy.

    I think what you’ve learned about yourself is that you like wheat beers. Now you can go look for smaller, maybe nicer wheat beer brews from local or specialty/craft brewers. And maybe try Belgian wheat beers (although they are very different from the Bavarian wheat.you liked here).

    Prost!

  15. Here are my favorite beers:

    Best Hefeweizen:
    Weihenstephaner
    (oldest currently operating brewery in the world)

    Best Pilsener:
    Herrenhäuser

    The greatest all around beer:
    Hacker-Pschorr Kellerbier

    Honorable mention:
    Hacke-beck Kräusen

  16. my experience with germans is that they either dont care about beer or have a super strong opinion about it.
    I only drink pilsener and only when i feel it…
    sounds weird but when ive been lazy for a day, i dont like beer.
    When i was working in the garden for hours in the heat or something like that a beer is the perfect refreshment.
    before i noticed that pattern, i allways thought people only drink it because it contains alcohol and everyone is lowekey alcoholic. (which i think is somewhat true)

  17. I think these 2 are a solid starting point for discovering other wheat beers.

    If you have access to a well stocked Getränkemarkt try out Hopf Wheat Beer, it’s from my home town and IMHO the best wheat beer “all-rounder”.

  18. Paulaner Weißbier in a warm (but not hot) summer month in a Biergarten with friends…was gibt es schöneres? 😍

  19. Visit Franconia next time you are in Germany.
    Highest density of breweries per capita and therefore all kinds of beers.
    Bavarian beer in general is good, but if you had Franconian ones, you’ll never want anything else

  20. At least you don’t have a special taste. These beers are industrial beers. But if you like it….drink it.
