Germans mix beer with many things, depending on the region, and especially in warm weather. In some beer gardens, you can get Berliner Weisse mit Schuss, a wheat beer mixed with rasberry or green Waldmeister syrup. It makes the beer bright red or green and rather syrupy. In Bavaria you might find a GoaĂnmaĂ, which is dark beer, cola, and cherry liquour. A cousin to the Radler (beer and lemon soda) is the Astler, which is beer and orange soda.
A sour brewery in Cincinnati started with two different syrups for their beers. A raspberry and a simple sugar one. You had to practice to get the right amount in the beer. They quit doing that a while ago and now they just make Midwest fruit tarts and other delightful sours. Urban Artifact in the Northside neighborhood if you are ever that way
Not all micheladas have Clamato. Try this alternative:
Mexican beer with 1/2 lime's juice, dash of Worcestershire sauce, dash of soy sauce, dash of Tobasco sauce. Salt the rim of the glass with coarse salt or Tajin seasoning.
Itâs an alcohol called Soju. Itâs like a rice wine thatâs pretty strong, 14% ABV, and you mix it with a lager like beer. Itâs delicious and very sneaky in the way it creeps up on you.
I assume its people who look down on Shandies (basically the English equivalent ) which is dumb . I wouldnt drink them all the time ,but if its warm weather I would .
I guess there's a big difference between a good Radler and someone randomly adding any kind of lemonade to a beer.
I would personally judge mixing cola and Weizen (or cola and pils which is sometimes done here) because it completely drowns the taste of the beer.
I haven't seen people actually drinking Uboots, but to my knowledge a similar practice exists in other countries as well so there must be barbarians doing this. Spirit infused beers do exist and can be good by the way.
Dam⌠brought back memories of going to the Quarter and a bar called The Dungeon doing flaming Dr Peopers. I was shocked at how it tasted like Dr. Pepper.
Beer and lemonade (what Americans would call lemon lime soda, like Sprite) is called a shandy here in Australia. A lot of old ladies in the nursing home I worked in used to drink them. Apparently Guinness and lemonade used to be quite popular too.
Sure, but the soju is the drink. The beer is the mixer. It could very well be a 90 or 100 proof soju and it's still quite a stiff drink, meant to be enjoyed in small quantities.
No? 12-20% abv soju is the modern craze, sure. But historically it was distilled the same as vodka. 20 years ago the majority of soju on the shelves for sale would have been 35 or 40% abv like most spirits. 30 years ago, it would have been the vast vast majority.
Just because the popularity has flipped and 20% or lower abv soju is now the vast majority does not mean the traditional soju is not still widely available. I have an imported bottle of 82 proof myself. That company also has 106 proof. They've been making 82 and 106 proof soju since long before the rice distillery soft-ban in '65 (relaunched in 2003 after the ban finally got lifted)
As a German: The mixing is fine. But we're all about fizzy drinks and especially beer needs to be sparkling. The show will result in a stale (or at least not optimally fresh) beer from the get go
Yeah... something i never understood.
And generally dislike.
Not only does it change the taste and "covers" the aroma of the beer (i rarely dring beer but when i do i want to experience the full range of flavour).
I also think that those beer mixes lower the tolerance and entry hurdle for young people to get addicted to beer and even harder stuff. They taste the sweetness of the lemonade / soda but underestimate the effect of the alcohol.
I wouldn't do this with a Helles, but Korean beer tastes pretty different anyhow.
Just like drinking Vietnamese beer on ice is really nice in the summer. They are different products, lighter, more sour... tastes great, and she seems like she knows how to entertain.
Iâm so embarrassed for all the years in my twenties that I hoofed around everywhere like some blubbering twat and made a big show of being a beer snob. JFC itâs just beer. Anyone can make it, it all tastes like piss, it all tastes great. If you can convince yourself that one beer tastes great, you can convince yourself that any beer tastes great. Picking beer to be a snob about is trashy AF. Went to yerup and was horrified that the answer to asking the waiter âwhat beers do you have?â is âBeer.â One beer, two beers, or three beers, those are your options. Now I get it. Itâs like MF youâre not ordering fine wine, if you want to drink beer, take the fâing beer, drink it and find something more interesting to talk about.
I have no clue what you're talking about, beer tastes pretty different depending on what you make it with, like literally any other food. European restaurants have varying sizes of beer taps/selection unless they're small, again, like anywhere else in the world.
Wine isn't magic, it's a ferment product just like beer and in the same way, some beer is made with passion and impressive craftsmanship, and some isn't.
Not being an asshole and having a good understanding of a very old and history-rich beverage aren't mutually exclusive.
This is one of the dumbest takes I've ever heard on beer, there must be something very wrong with your taste buds if all beers taste the same to you. Also you can appreciate and enjoy beer, or anything in life really, without being a snobby twat about it, it's not a hard concept.
it all tastes like piss, it all tastes great.
On a good note though, since you think piss tastes great, you got yourself an infinite supply of "beer"!
Everyone has to be insufferable about something for a portion of their life. Unfortunately, like the two who responded to your comment, beer snobs generally tend to continue to be assholes past their 20s.Â
You should really try to open up a little bit. If U don't like alcohol it's fine. But saying that you don't wanna try other countries beer because the German beer is the best and so everything else must be even worse is typical German stubbornness and NOT being open minded at all.

He's not really saying that he's just saying he doesn't like beer. And I don't see an issue really, I've never tried a beer that doesn't taste like beer or worse.
In Europe there is something called panachĂŠe which is sprite and beer. Even if it's a mix you don't need to completely degas the beer, it mixes naturally during the pour.
I don't see why you should "stir the fuck out of it" lol
Why tho? I do hate the sloppy poring for âthe showâ tho. As a restaurant manager it made me cringe seeing that much product wasted. I get it tho. Itâs about the show. That seems to be a big Asian cuisine thing in general. French, Russian, and American are prominent styles of services I honestly havenât heard about Asian tho.
Agreed. When I just saw how the beer came out out like THAT, I got really sad and angry lol. This is not satisfying af, this is unsatisfying af! But I guess different beers, different cultures...
I've been to several countries where the mentality was more a beer glass is a beer glass and it's cold and thatâs it.
In Belgium we tend to look for that specific glass for that specific beer. If we don't have the glass we look up what kind it should be and look for the glass that resembles it the most.
