Fun fact:
The servers working the Oktoberfest will give champion weightlifters a run for their money. They carry a dozen or more 1 liter steins for 12+ hours a day and walk a few miles with that weight. Imagine having to hold around 25 lbs in each hand up in front of your chest all day every day-the stamina and endurance of those servers is nothing short of phenomenal. In a TV show they actually pitted a seasoned Oktoberfest server against a competitive weightlifter. They each had to hold a predetermined number of filled beer steins. Whoever puts down their load first or spills too much, loses. The server won with a smile on her face.

Clearly a huge area to cover. Might have missed it, but don't think so, and I saw no one mention it in the comments.
But being a Dane where -beer- drinking has been part of the culture since before America was -found-, and it was at Carlsberg (probably the best beer in the world) that a scientist found our yeast is alive, and that one could keep making the same kind of beer with same taste and lessened the level of wild yeast. Carlsberg literally revolutionized the production of beer.

wow vague much? this is darker, this is stronger, yet no why. i came here to learn styles of beer making and how they came about. what about more in adjuncts and why they are used? why make this one more malty, what about hops that are used and why. corn sugar vs table sugar. why one was used this to avoid taxes in the 17&18 century bla bla blah. this is like a sommelier trying to sell us something rather than teach us about the how and why. sorry im a history buff

I just stumbled over this video by accident but still watched it to the end. And I have an extension to the smoke beer section (and also a correction to the statement that was made early in this vid): there is a smaller brewery in Hallerndorf, Germany, by the name Rittmayer who DO produce a smoke beer made with malts smoked with peat. It's called -Smoky George- and to my palate it is absolutely strange. But still, peat is not solely reserved for Whisk(e)y. ;)

Just one thing on -Pils- and the Czech Republic, Pilsen is a town in the Czech Republic and for centuries the town was within the holy roman empire of german nation and then the Austro-Hungarian Empire also Pilsen had a quite sizeable german minority so they usage of a german word for a czech beer isn't that strange as one might think because Pilsen as a part of bohemia was part of a mainly german ruled country for centuries.

Not much of a beer person myself, not that I won't put some down when I'm at the bar with friends getting drunk lol. I'm just not the type of person who can only drink 1 or 2 beers bc personally I don't like the taste of beer to much, if I'm drinking it, it's to get drunk lol but I just prefer liquor more. Love crown and coke or jack and coke. Can drink that anytime

Two of my favorite beers in the U. S. are Prairie Bomb and Trappist Rockefort 10. Both are over 11% ABV. If you want a darker drink check out the Prairie Bomb. If you want something almost soda like try the Trappist. For reference, I am not a fan of Guinness as it does not have enough complexity or body for my tastes.

-And we're gonna start wit a style that's one of the most widely-available beer styles in the world. That's American light lager-.
Let me tell you, not a single person besides an American would think the rest of the world sees that as beer. ;) Lovely video, thank you for taking all the effort!

Wow. I didn't think beer could be more boring. I like beer. I like it a lot! I try new things. My two cents says Drink What Tastes Good To You! Just with wine or any beverage, try stuff, but don't puff it up too much. Whatever tastes good to you is good enough!

This is awesome y-all! It took me two days to watch it and actually absorb all the info, but I genuinely learned a lot about beer. There was more than a handful of styles that I have never heard of or seen before. Thank y-all for making this video.
