[Ayinger]

Weihenstephaner Korbinian and Kloster Andechs Dopplebock should have been included in this since you are putting the Ayinger Celebrator in the mix. Spaten is a starter dopplebock not worthy to be in the same comparison. Paulaner Salvator would also be good in this test. I have been to Ayinger brewery twice and had several of these brews on tap and love them. I admit to a bias that American microbrewers seem to copy the British and Irish beers better than German styles for some reason.

Ryan (the guy on the Left): We feel that attempting to taste more than 4 beers in a single tasting is extremely unfair to all beers involved. Look for a second dopplebock tasting to see some of the beers you listed above. I am very envious of your trips to the Ayinger brewery; I plan on making a trip or two to Germany very soon.

You will be surprised by the variety of available beers in Germany.

A good advice of mine would be to travel from from south to north and visit many breweries (Most offer English guided tours, followed by an traditional "Verkoestigung").

This is probably the best way, to experience German beer culture.

If you are looking for beers with very complex tastes I'd recommend Danish Greuze or some of the very rare German red Beers.

Cheers!

2 parter... I (Andrew, the guy on the right) do speak german almost fluently, and I actually spent a few months living in germany. The beer culture of the Bavaria region is incredible, and if I can find a friend or two with the spare time I will be going to Oktoberfest this year. My dad went there way way back in the day, and the stories I've heard are awesome.

And for the beers with very complicated tastes, yeah, you can look at some danish fruity gueuzes, but belgium is an even better bet for an introduction to that style. If that is a style you like, try some of the american wild ales of the russian river brewery. They are about to bottle their Consecration ale, which is delicious.

Ayinger is the best beer on the planet

Paulener Salvator!. best dopplebock

altenmunster doppelbock, hands down best doppelbock you can get without making a hole in your pocket.

If you want a good doppel bock probably the best one you can get is Forst Sixtus. Extremely hard to find the wine list of summit in nj jersey sells it, but it is amazing. I highly recommend this beer.

Samichlaus is more of a barley wine,but you guys are cool and know your beers.

good show !

@TheBrewDudes Do you speak Northern or Southern German? Bavarians speak a different dialect than the Northern Germans.

Try "Schorschbock" from germany. Has 16% and tastes weird ;-)

did you ever notice the guy on the left looks like hank from corner gas?

I agree that beers with too much alcohol content take over the taste! Great Review guys!

[persianlad]

German Red Beers! That sounds very interesting! Are any of these beers available in the US?
