German brewers are governed by Reinheitgesbot, the brewing purity law, which dates back to 1516.

 

Initially to be called "beer", only 3 ingredients could be used; malted barley, water, and hops. Yeast was added when it's role in fermentation was recognized. No other grains, sugars, or other adjunct grains or ingredients can be used.

 

Breweries not in compliance can be shut down, and brewery workers or executives can be prosecuted. It is alleged that a number of years ago a brewmeister actually committed suicide rather than face trial for Purity Law violations.

I went to a church picnic today and they were discussing beers. They said German beers are the best. The other beers have too many impurities and additives in them. They said Germany has strict regulations when it comes to beer-making.

 

Of course, I wouldn't know if this is all true or not, but thought to pass along the info to you.

 

what were they drinking at the picnic?

 

German beer is good but i say the us of a is just as good . as is canada, anywhere with good water can make great beer.

Tangy, I dare you to do the hi_water type of poll on beers. There is no way anybody, in their right minds, would pick Miller over Beck's or Coors over Heineken.

 

thats correct

 

the best craft beer from the us is on par with the best craft beer from germany.

 

becks and heineken were great but nothing special in this day and age. so many more choices. not bad but no longer top shelf IMO

Bottom line, Europe slays North America, when it comes to beer...and soccer. ;)

They mentioned the beers and their names, but I don't remember.

 

They said even the hops here in the usa - where and how it was grown - makes a difference as to how beer tastes.

:yes:

 

There a different varieties of hops, which impacts flavor, like with wine grapes. Check out this expansive list.

I think that's the one he mentioned. I remember the "steiner" part.

Warsteiner is certainly brewed according to the German purity laws. I haven't tried it

yet .... i'll wait until Saturday for that.

I have tried Warsteiner way back when and I thought it was nothing worth writing home about. Maybe it's brewed in America like Beck's. I'll be interested to find out about the version of this beer being sold in Ireland.

i will give you soccer without a debate. at this point if you have good water and the money to buy the best ingredients you can brew kick ass beer anywhere.

 

i say further research would be be prudent before declaring a winner.........

This reminds me of the Oscars, where the judges usually look as far as the bridge of their noses. A lot of these categories involve only American beers. I'm waiting for the playoffs against Europe. But then there's that bridge of the nose again...

I'm only interested in a category "best beer in the World (period)" I don't care about a competition between New York and Connecticut. That's like looking at stats involving Faroe Islands soccer.

like i said above, on par with. not saying one is superior but dependent on your tastes the best beer can be made anywhere. the stats i referenced were the countries involved, percentage of wins and also where the judges were from.

 

best beer in the world is impossible to determine. try beer advocate if you want to see how they rate them. My fave beers are from the US of A but i will take beers from england and ireland over german beers. I will usually take german beers over mexican beers though.

 

with that i tip a glass to the influence the old school germans had on the beer in the US of A...............

I can't comment on the other 4 but the Hacker-Pschorr Oktoberfest is very nice indeed!! A UK mail order firm I sometimes use always has a supply of the main Munich breweries' Oktoberfest offering from early September until it sells out about mid October. I usually get a supply and have my own 'mini Oktoberfest' !!! Edited by zepphead
