What’s so special about German Beers, with over 1300 Breweries, worlds Biggest fest, where “Daru Bahegi” is an understatement, the Oktoberfest and a law to govern Beer, this question is rather redundant.

German Beer Purity Law

The law states, German Beers will Barely contain – Barley, Water & Hops. It was first applied in Bavaria, and then adopted across Germany.

Different Types of German Beers

Pilsner

Originating from city of Pilsner Urquell Brewery in Czech Republic, the German Beers are modeled on its Czech Cousin, with Herbal and Spicy Hop Bitterness brewed from Barley Malt using local hops..

Becks, Bitburger, Krombacher, Warsteiner are famous German Brands.

Helles

A Light German Style Lager, with sweeter and fresher taste. Its Bavarian version of Lager that was originated in Munich. It is less Bitter and a bit Dry.

Our favourite is Augustiner Lagerbier Hell, most of our friends like Tegernseer Hell

Other famous Munich Breweries that provide Helles Beers at Oktoberfest are Paulaner, Löwenbräu, Spaten, Hacker-Pschorr.

Rauchbier

Why not Smoke it up!

This Beer is made with Smoked Malt, that is made by drying it over an open flame, and comes from the region of Bamberg. This Technique gives Beers a rich Smoky flavor, an amber to dark color.

Weissbier (Wheat Beer)

Call it “Roti” & you will have it everywhere in India.

The Bavarians love it, the glasses are beautiful & the beer is served in a very crafty way. The malt is made of barley and wheat. Famous Brands are, Maisel, Hofbräuhaus, Augustiner, Weihenstephaner

The Weissbier has three different varieties,

Kristallweizen – clear color, filtered

Hefeweizen – cloudy, yellow

Dunkelweizen – roasted and dark

In Pune, you can try out Kimaya Hefeweizen, It is a Traditional German Wheat Beer brewed in accordance with German Purity Law

You can also try Kimaya Dunkelweizen

Radler or Alsterwasser

Hate Beers? Why don’t you try a Radler first?

That is exactly some of us start to integrate in the Beer culture of Germany, this is not a separate Beer, but a mix of Lemonade & a Lager. It contains less alcohol and is more refreshing

On a similar note, there is something called as Diesel, Coke mixed with Beer! Who would’ve thought?
