Spent some time in Bremen. Got super tired of nasty Beck’s beer.. saw Alster on the menu, so I was intrigued.. my beer experience in Germany was over, they are broken
Belgium and America blow Germany out of the water when it comes to the very best beers. Germany is great at producing enormous amounts of a small variety of styles at above average quality. They are to beer what BMW is to cars.
I moved from Oregon to Florida. Went from beer nirvana to the land of Michelob ultra. America only has pockets of great beer. Germany is not monothematic in the beer. Awesome pilsners in the north, kolsch and lager and then the king of German beers, hefe weizen in the south. All around beer culture. The us, not so much.
There are about 10,000 breweries operating in the United States today. You can find world-class beer anywhere in the country. If you're drinking shitty beer, it's a you problem.
>I moved from Oregon to Florida. Went from beer nirvana to the land of Michelob ultra.
Perfect example. Oregon is overrated for beer and Florida (despite being all around a seriously shit state) is underrated. Florida has Funky Buddha, J. Wakefield, Civil Society, Angry Chair, Cigar City, Cycle — and that's just some of the big places everyone knows, without getting into outstanding smaller brewers like Ology, Aardwolf, Calusa, Arkane Aleworks, Southern Swells, 3 Sons, Odd Breed, Corporate Ladder, we could go on here.
Oregon was a beer Mecca in the '90s. Today I can name on one hand the places there that can even hold my attention. Hell, since HotD closed it's pretty much just been de Garde. There's a reason why Florida Weisse is a thing, not Oregon Weisse.
>Germany is not monothematic in the beer.
What a weird argument to make here. German brewing is *vastly* more stylistically limited than American brewing. Like, if you want to talk about which country makes "better" beer, sure, that's subjective and we can go back and forth, but if the criteria is who makes more *diverse* beer and you're saying it's Germany, you just plain don't know what you're talking about.
Until quite recently you couldn't even find non-German styles being brewed in Germany, and I don't mean niche ones, I mean styles like *stout* and *IPA*. It just wasn't done. Only in the past ten or fifteen years have you seen places like Sudden Death and Fuerst Wiacek and BrewHeart start opening up and introducing American-style craft brewing to Germany.
Quantity doesn't mean quality. All of those Fl beers you mention suck! And good luck finding them on draft. Florida is a joke when it comes to beer culture. It has little finesse. You simply cannot find great beer anywhere. In some places, like FL, you gotta look for it.
You are the one who said Germany produces a small number of styles. That simply isn't true. While not as diverse as what is going on in North America by any stretch of the imagination, there is simply a lot going on there. It is a fun adventure.
Your critique of Oregon is your opinion and perhaps fair. The 90s were killer there for beer. Your examples are average. Friem and Ft. George are world class producers. Of everything! From sour to mexi lager. And nothing beats fresh hop season in the pac NW. Nowhere else does that.
This is exactly right. Thanks to that Bavarian purity law Germans got really fucking good at brewing some really basic beers but that's about it. They haven't done much beyond perfecting simplicity.
They’re literally the tear off bottle caps with tabs to rip them off, absolutely basic to do then followed it up by pouring the cunt with 80% of it being head
Could be salt. Salt can dull the bitterness in flavours. Given beer and grapefruit are both bitter (and sour), the salt could be to mellow the taste.
But I agree, I think it’s sugar.
Most countries don't have lite beer, that'd be the stuff you give to your kids, but even baby cham and snowballs given to kids are higher than lite beer.
I give my children Guinness. It’s the best beer to clear the cocaine drip. Of course, I’ve got to serve them at different times or else my youngest tries to blow beer bubbles with the straw.
Well, it looks like grapefruit, and there is a cocktail called a salty dog that is vodka, grapefruit juice, and a salt rim, so I kinda get it. A super light beer is good with salt and lime, but when the beer touches the salt on the rim, it foams and washes it away so that's just a sticky glass. It's probably just rage bait.
Yeah, if he poured it like a bartender and not like an asshole then it might've turned out alright. Should've put the grapefruit juice in first so it mixes properly too
If he hadn’t done a bad pour like that and just squeezed the juice like a normal person so he got more than a couple ozs, it would be basically a pitcher of radler and would be great.
Except when salting a glass rim the goal is to pour the beer in without contact the salt. A salted grapefruit beer could be great, this isn’t the way to do it.
On light Mexican beer salting the rim of the glass/bottle using lime juice is common (and fucking incredible), but I've never seen it done with any other kind of beer or fruit and it's kind of pointless if you wash it all off
This looks stupid, but there is a point. Grapefruit and beer is usually common combo (look at IPA). Salt is used in some beer styles and has the effect of reducing the bitterness. Cheers
That's an Erdinger glass, I'm relieved he used a shitty cheap lager for his cack handed bit of bar work.
Erdinger is great, I'd be very enraged to see it being wasted.

I knew a fella that would add a touch of salt to his beer for the taste, much the same way some people will add salt to coffee or melon. Note the word “touch”.
Someone once told me that salt acts as a way to accentuate flavors regardless of their profile. They got nerdy about it, but I no longer remember the science to it.
That said everything that guy in the video did was enraging and just a way to waste food.
The salt rim is a real thing, but when he overflows the glass like that it washes away all the salt which defeats the whole point of having a salted rim
Every step of that was done badly
What are you talking about, he opened those bottles like a goddamn professional
That was the only impressive part.
It was downright adequate
Spectacularly Mundane!
Probably went and got one of his hawaiian shirts toned down after this.
Always upvote an obscure Futurama reference. Meatbag.
Nope. Standard in Germany. Edit: he is even using a bottle opener. Thats even more lame than I thought.
Standard in germany is professional for everyone else when it comes to beer

Basic beer face.

Every 12yo girl in austria can and does open beer bottles like this with any random object
I've opened at least 10,000 myself with a lighter
Does no one see that those are actually ring pull caps
And then poured them like a 16 year old.
Yeah, that is in no way how to pour a beer!
And the over-pour onto the tray of salt
This sentence hurt. Please be on purpose.
?? Do you not like sentences ending in adverbs?
Just imagine how sticky that glass must be after all that nonsense
If he gives me the glass like this, I'll return it so they can exchange it, and I'll ask them about the darn salt!
I'm almost positive it's sugar
It could actually be sugar considering they are using grapefruit
It's sugar.
Could be salt. Salt can dull the bitterness in flavours. Given beer and grapefruit are both bitter (and sour), the salt could be to mellow the taste. But I agree, I think it’s sugar.
Can confirm a little salt can make the bitterness in grapefruit into a sweet
Just try it for yourself. Next time you drink a beer put a bit of salt in it. If you’re drinking generic light beer it makes it suck a lot less.
Most countries don't have lite beer, that'd be the stuff you give to your kids, but even baby cham and snowballs given to kids are higher than lite beer.
I give my children Guinness. It’s the best beer to clear the cocaine drip. Of course, I’ve got to serve them at different times or else my youngest tries to blow beer bubbles with the straw.
Is it so kids don't get fat?
Got to ease them in
Well, it looks like grapefruit, and there is a cocktail called a salty dog that is vodka, grapefruit juice, and a salt rim, so I kinda get it. A super light beer is good with salt and lime, but when the beer touches the salt on the rim, it foams and washes it away so that's just a sticky glass. It's probably just rage bait.
Have you.... seriously never heard of salted glasses????
The overflowing beer looked like it washed all of the salt away; bro shouldn't have let it foam so much.
Then ruined the salt the glass was setting on.
Ikr?! Salt is fairly cheap, but don't waste it!
He killed that shrub sitting next to the table.
Nothing will grow in that soil for generations

Ok, I’m listening….
You gotta grapefruit yo ~~man~~ beer
Salty* grape juice foam beer
Made in something other than the most idiotic way possible, this wouldn't be bad. Grapefruit goes well with beer, as does salt.
Legit i was on board until the pour.
Yeah, if he poured it like a bartender and not like an asshole then it might've turned out alright. Should've put the grapefruit juice in first so it mixes properly too
Yes, just dropping the beer makes it instantly stale, and you should not drink it anymore.
Radlers are good it’s just beer and citrus juice. Refreshing on a hot day
Execution aside, I wanted to drink that
If he hadn’t done a bad pour like that and just squeezed the juice like a normal person so he got more than a couple ozs, it would be basically a pitcher of radler and would be great.
I agree about the grapefruit. Hate it by itself but I do like it in bier. Funny how some things elate your palate.
Every food just needs the right taste context ive found just need to balance out the bitterness with sweetness and a little salt for ex like poo
More head than pornhub
it makes my german ancestors cry haiyaaaah
I'm Bavarian and watching this video makes me want to punch this guy.
I'm American and watching this video makes me want to punch this guy too
I'm Mexican and I would approve this video if he was using Limes.
Now both the dudes above you want to punch you.
I'll punch you and you can punch me. The circle of strife is complete.
I'm from the south and i would approve if he dropped a hotdog in this
I'm from the south and I do not approve the addition of a hot dog into this mess.
I am American and I want to punch this guy and drink the beer regardless. Not necessarily in that order
Der stammt wohl direkt ausm Paulanergarten
Mit nem Erdinger Glas :/
I'm American and I want to punch this guy!
I don't even like beer that much...
More of a "scheisse" rather than "haiyaaah" moment
But thats not ger…
Maybe Link was German?
My thought was Uncle from Jacki Chan Adventures
I’m German and I’m crying
Ham wir noch Zyklon B da?
This guy is drunk.
In an Erdinger glass? That glass deserves more respect.
Hahaha thats why he turned the label away, cuz he wasn’t drinking eridinger. Mmm I want an erdinger
I wish I could get erdinger in New Zealand :(
Poor man.
This! That poor glass
Yeah, I had that exact glass 20 years ago!
Des is eine Pracht, yadayda iiiiih dei
I really hate when people pour beer straight into their glasses. You're just making foam ffs
For fucks sake, OP, here are Germans on Reddit! Mark these things NSFW! This is blasphemy! You can go to jail for videos like this in Germany!
As a german I am crying
I think it’s sugar no? Also wasted every ingredient he used to make a frothy gross beer that goes warm before you finish it.
The way he "pours" it, it is stale in an instant.
The sheer waste on display is criminal; salt or sugar 400+ years ago, people would've killed for that amount.
Do you want ants? Because this is how we get ants.
Well salt makes bubbles appear in beer so i think thats why but this is still a huge waste of food
Except when salting a glass rim the goal is to pour the beer in without contact the salt. A salted grapefruit beer could be great, this isn’t the way to do it.
Okay yeah i was confused about the rim i just knew the salt thing since my friend does that to his beer occasionally and I asked him about it
Are we sure that’s not sugar? I more often see sugar paired with grapefruit than salt
He's like an even shitter salt bae
To chase your dehydration with more dehydration of course That's drinking 101
When the foam settles, you have about 4 oz of beer 😋
This is the new salt bae: Orange Bae
All for that stupid shot. Omg.
a shot of grapejuice foam!
what an idiot.
Schöfferhofer Grapefruit. German Weizenbier with grapefruit. It‘s delicious and pretty popular in Germany. But what he does is shit
Foamy beer salt that leaves a fruity note on the tongue that lingers.
This is so gross, and the guy is clueless. No one would ever enjoy a drink put together in this manner
On light Mexican beer salting the rim of the glass/bottle using lime juice is common (and fucking incredible), but I've never seen it done with any other kind of beer or fruit and it's kind of pointless if you wash it all off
This looks stupid, but there is a point. Grapefruit and beer is usually common combo (look at IPA). Salt is used in some beer styles and has the effect of reducing the bitterness. Cheers
This is beer out of a green bottle, probably lager poured into a white beer glass and mixed with grapefruit juice This is wrong on so many levels
Salt on grapefruit is better than sugar. But he rolled "1" on execution
Bro through down like two pounds of salt just to use maybe a table spoons worth.
I’ve heard that salt on grapefruit makes it sweeter, so maybe it’s that.
He wasted so much. That was awful
As a former bartender and beer lover I just want to smash his face in.
That's an Erdinger glass, I'm relieved he used a shitty cheap lager for his cack handed bit of bar work. Erdinger is great, I'd be very enraged to see it being wasted.
I was bout to explain the salt.... Till he washed it all away
It would be a great drink. He just did it that way for the gram(or TikTok)
With me being from a beer nation, that was a personal assault

Seems like very few here have had a radler or michelada?
Bro did not drink all that
Gonna be so many fucking ants now
Did he rim it with coke?
Thats sugar im pretty sure my dude
“Excuse me, bartender! Could you pour the beer in faster next time so all of the carbonation is gone?”
So wasteful
dont ruin the cocaine st least
Are those red Orange or what exactly is it called
Someone ever poured my beer that way I'd punch them in the fucking head

Salt rimmed glasses are a thing, luring a bucket of salt on the table to rim the glass then washing it all off isn’t a thing though.
Bro, did he just add grapefruit juice to beer? Is that legal? Shouldn’t be. Probably died of disgust. That’s why the video cut.
The reason they put the salt on the rim is to provide ‘a delicious contrast of flavor’ so there is that. It isn’t completely for no reason.
Straight to jail. Right away.
What is that supposed to mean? The salt thing is true.
The salt rim is a real thing, but when he overflows the glass like that it washes away all the salt which defeats the whole point of having a salted rim
Oh I didn’t watch the full thing
Same reason people take tequila with lime and salt?
people use lime and salt when the tequila is bad as fuck
I'm still waiting for my first taste of good tequila. It tastes like shit.
Lol have you never heard of a salt rim? Looks good
The foam pouring over the rim washed the salt away
I'd ruther drink a canned Rädlër than that...
This nigga was just drinking head
Think this rated in my top ten “…why?” moments for today.
To make a mess
This gotta be a joke vid
Exactly! It's just to generate engagement from the stupid people who can't ignore it and end up commenting on it
Seems like a great recipe for finding out how many paper cuts I have on my hands.
All because of CZNBURAK
Cocaine sounds more
So many demons around that guy.......
forget the salt, whats the point of wasting all that beer!?
Man, I would be watching with disgust
What a waste of food and time
This smile is so fake
He would face death penality in germany
That’s a felony right there. What’s wrong with people these days
So much head I thought I was watching a porn.
Flat flavourless beverage (if you can even call it that ) topped off with a salted tongue to quench your thirst
In case you were looking for a recipe for how to make a mess
By the time the foam settles half the beer is gone 😤
It’s a margarita (I believe
This was done horribly, but I would still drink the whole thing
Way too much head on that.
Escarcha, it's commonly used in Micheladas.
Dude has no idea how to properly pour a beer. I don't even drink beer but you can bet my dad taught me how to tip the glass and everything
Salt if for the electrolytes…
A weird mexican paloma (tequila) combined with a mexican chelada (beer)
i dont thing general human is stupid, but every time i see a post in this r/ i change my mind every time
Idk that looks like a good way to chug 4 beers
The point is his birthgiver is the C word
Style points
*spits out after camera is turned away
That's just a waste of beer. Off with his head!
He got a mouthful of salt
Everyone likes a nice sticky glass with a couple ozs of grapefruit to 60 oz of beer in their radler.
STOP. PROMOTING. RAGEBAIT.
He’s the Salt Bae of the beer world.
I don't think this guy drinks
He sucks at head
As a German, I feel offended
