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 …….
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.
Gaffel Kölsch isn’t the best choice for Kölsch I’d say
You have the beer taste of a Bavarian.
Drink whatever you like, taste isn’t something others dictate.
Don’t start a religious war please. 🙂
Hope you had some weisswurst with one of those beers as breakfast. Don’t forget the sweet mustard and laugenbrezel!
My favorite brand while living in Germany was Keiler
IMHO you have fine taste. The cloudy wheat beers are also my favorite.
No but please try all the small breweries in the Fränkische Schweiz, for example..
I am more concerned of your third hand you obviously had to make that picture.
Omg! I am not the only one!!! These are exactly my favorite too
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.
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.
You also should have tried Flensburger Pilsner. A beer from northern Germany and the best one btw 😉
They are safe choices but nothing outstanding imho
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”.
Das Franziskaner ist ein wirklich gutes Weißbier
how did you take the photo?
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.
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
I like Franziskaner🍻👍
you are spot on. excellent taste.
Same taste bro,Best beer.💪🏼✌🏼
Nice
You like Hefe-Weizen apparently. Its a pretty narrow selection from the entirety of German beers , but otherwise there isnt anything wrong with it.
Just drink whatever you want, if you like those beers, just enjoy them, there is no “bad taste” in that regards.
I prefer Weihenstephaner or Augustiner, really the local beer wherever you are in Germany is usually a good choice.
You can improve it even more when drinking it in a glass mixed with a bit banana juice. 🍻🍌
As long as you don’t drink Öttinger everything is normal.
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 …!<
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 =) )
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!
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
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)
How did you take this photo with two hands holding the bottles? Just asking 🤪
M bf’s favorite beer is Paulaner. One of his most hated beers is Franziskaner. Make of it what you will 😀
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”.
Paulaner Weißbier in a warm (but not hot) summer month in a Biergarten with friends…was gibt es schöneres? 😍
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
They are definitely not the worst. Yet there is better beer around.
Nein!
At least you don’t have a special taste. These beers are industrial beers. But if you like it….drink it.
Ja its good Weizenbier but we have even better Pils beers
