The first article of the beer series of various countries: Welcome to the stamp ↓↓↓↓
At 21:00 Beijing time on November 23, the World Cup will usher in the first round of Group E of the group stage, and Germany will play against Japan! Germany suffered the curse of defending champions at the last World Cup, which led to the team's failure to qualify from the group. It is believed that the German tanks were holding their breath this time to prove themselves. Judging from this year's squad, the German team belongs to three generations of players, including Mueller, Neuer and other veterans, as well as the middle generation such as "Bayern double back" (Gretzka, Kimmich), as well as the new generation such as Schlotebeck and Musiala, and the age structure of the whole team is very healthy and excellent!
============
The above is the preface before the press release, when I woke up, Argentina folded, and Germany also folded
============
You say the German team is outrageously strong, but they often don't have the world's top stars; You call them weak, but the four Hercules Cups are there, and it's hard to ignore this team.
Beer in Germany
German beer is very similar to their football: German beer is not "craft beer" in the narrow sense of our mouth, but German beer has always been proud of its "pure" and civilized in the world.
The reason for this is that the German Purity Act stipulates that German beer can only be made from malt, hops and water, so for nearly five hundred years, German beer has been almost regarded as synonymous with pure beer. Therefore, although the German beer industry is very developed, because the raw materials adhere to purity, it is much better than what we call industrial water beer.
Here to explain that although humans began to use yeast to make wine very early, the real sense of understanding yeast had to wait until the 17th century, Leeuwenhoek discovered yeast through a microscope, so there was no mention of "yeast" in the earliest beer purity law issued at that time, and yeast was later added when the law was revised
Many people actually equate "lager" with "industrial lager", but in fact, corn, rice and other "industrial lagers" are added to help reduce costs, at best as a small branch of the rager family.
Germany, as the inventor of Lager, naturally had a preference for this style. In Germany, early beer originated in Ale like Belgium and England. Due to the relatively low temperatures in northern Germany, brewers there found that beer fermented at low temperatures was cleaner than at high temperatures, and thus invented lager. With the early 16th century, according to the decree of the Bavarian government, only the winter (September to April) of each year can be brewed, so the low-temperature cellar lager beer has naturally been greatly developed. Later, this beer was brought to the Americas by German immigrants, opened a distillery in the United States, and then developed by capitalists in the United States, reducing costs, and finally forming "American light beer", which is what we call "industrial lager".
After talking about the main styles of German beer, let's talk about several large types of German beer, German beer types are really very diverse, and artificial classification will inevitably have some mistakes. For example, I split Bock beer separately in the picture, because German Bock beer generally refers to lager beer with high number, strong malt characteristics, and darker color, and the name of this wine is related to the city Einbeck (to make a digression, the ice Bock milk that became popular because of the barista competition in previous years is inextricably related to this wine); Weizen Bock, on the other hand, is a fortified wheat beer that belongs to Ayer.
So today, the old guy will mainly talk to you about one of the most famous types of beer in Germany - German wheat
German wheat
Although German beer is mainly lager, but there is still ale fermentation, the most famous of which is wheat beer, and Belgian wheat, American wheat and known as the world's three major wheat beers.
German wheat is added to about 50% of wheat during the brewing process, and the yeast is not filtered at the end, so the wine body will generally appear slightly turbid, but it also brings out a unique yeast aroma, with a very strong bread aroma. In addition, German wheat beer will have a strong banana and clove sweet smell. The banana aroma is a common aroma found in most wheat beers, but cloves are due to the unique special aroma brought about by German wheat yeast.
Due to the addition of a large amount of wheat as an auxiliary material in beer, its unique advantage is that it is rich in protein, which can make the foam of beer rich and not easy to dissipate. Many beer lovers like thick foam, because the taste is very pleasant, the foam is very dense, some are even close to solidification, and the overall pleasure is very high.
1, what is the difference between Weissbier, Weizenbier, and Hefeweizen? No difference!
We analyze the words first, first in German, bier is beer, Weiss is white; Weizen is wheat; Hefe is yeast, so let's combine it:
Weissbier = white beer; Weizenbier = wheat beer; Hefeweizen = yeast wheat, these three refer to the same type of wine, the first name Weissbier is the name of the Bavarian region in southern Germany; The second name, Weizenbier, is the name in northern and western Germany; The third Hefeweizen is called because wheat beer is generally not filtered, so there will be yeast residue;
The counterpart to yeast wheat is crystal wheat, which refers to wheat beer that has been filtered, and the body of the wine is crystal clear, like crystal.

2, dark wheat (Dunkel Weissbier)
Due to the use of roasted malt in brewing, dark wheat has an extra toasted or caramelized malt flavor in addition to the banana and clove notes of white wheat. The higher killing texture and freshness, the feeling of closing will be creamy and silky smooth. In fact, light-colored wheat beer only became popular after World War II, while the Old School's traditional wheat beer is more dark.
3 Weizenbock and Berliner Weisse
Wheat Bock, I mentioned earlier that bock actually means high alcohol and high malt. If you break it down further, the spring bock is light and clear, the autumn bock is dark and sweet, the double bock degree is high, and the ice distilled bock has a rich aroma.
Berlin wheat is a special sour beer in the Berlin region, which is classified as "draft beer" in the local category. Light and refreshing, strong sandy taste, low alcohol feeling. It is also because of the low drinking pressure and the prominence of fruit acid, so it has become more and more popular in recent years, especially in summer. Pure origin of Berlin, I haven't drunk anyway, only drank a domestic "Yunpai", not my dish, trillium is also available, but I am a poor ghost can not afford it, there are interested bigwigs can try and then nag in the comment area
Several German wheat beers are recommended:
Paulaner (Paulane) classic wheat white beer 500ml
The wine is amber, cloudy, rich in foam, banana and cloves dominate, there are no miscellaneous but no surprises.

Schneider No. 1 Golden Wheat
Subjective evaluation, in my mind the ceiling of equal German wheat. The wine is golden, slightly cloudy and has a very rich foam. After opening, there is a very pungent smell of fresh bananas, and the flavor of cloves is not obvious. The mouth is very sandy, and there is a very prominent smell of toast bread in the middle, I don't know if you have ever eaten the "mellow" sliced toast of peach plums, it is the feeling of the taste swimming back and forth in the mouth. When you close your mouth, you have the bitter taste of hops. The overall flavor is very complete and pleasant, and it is very, very recommended to try the accompaniment.

Iinge Celebrator Celebrator Double Antelope Bock 330ml
There is a BCJP benchmark, Schneider No. 6, in the double Bock, but I still recommend that friends who want to try DoppleBock compare to try this celebratory from Eiinge.
The wine is dark brown, close to black, the smell of burnt malt is very comfortable, and there is a very, very strong chocolate aroma, the clove aroma is already weaker, and the banana flavor is more inclined to the taste of roasted banana. The foam is not rich, but it is relatively dense, dissipates slowly, the sand taste in the mouth is relatively weak, the alcohol pressure is not too good, slightly flushed, the wine body is not heavy, and it is refreshing. The balance of acid and bitterness in the mouth is very good and will be converted back and forth at the base of the tongue.
