I don't know. It's my holiday beer if you will. Drank it in Italy and France already, but I've never seen it in Austria. Austria doesn't import much beer because we brew a lot ourselves, and it's probably the same in Germany. I never knew 1l cans even existed until I discovered this beauty

As an avid beer fan it is really nice to live in Europe. If you travel around you will most likely find a good beer within your close vicinity.

Personally, I like the good ol' Beck's a lot and wheat beer.

@Artisreal: I know you can get the regular Faxe at Getränke Hoffmann, maybe you can order there the stronger version? Otherwise probably a liquor specialist will be able to help out.

Two years ago I had to make a big research about the beer production and consumption in Germany. Back then I came across a very interesting article in Spiegel on the subject. It was basically about some dudes making the simple experiment of tasting blindfolded different beers and trying to guess which one was their favorite (everyone had one by default). Nobody was able to guess right even when there were only 3 glasses of beer to choose from.

So the conclusion was that the beer taste is defined by number of factors and the actual taste of the beer is only one of them. Not to say that by the production of the beer, there are so many different variables that are not related to the actual technology or the specific recipe of the beer brand. So even if you like Jever its not like it tastes the exact same way every time, you like it because of completely different set of reasons. I think in southern Germany ppl drink their local brands, in the north the big TV brands are more beloved.

But still thats just my opinion. Good luck with your research. I'm personally a big beer fan and my favorite one is the Guinness. It tastes like literally nothing else on this world

its an organic beer from germany. Really delicious but about 1€ / 500mL, thus rather something for taste, than for getting drunk.

Yuengling is indeed the only US beer that is enjoyable, although unfortunately not quite my personal taste. It is a good beer though.

Hawk, no, the big brands in Germany are excellent. There is no objective difference in quality from big commercial brands to small local breweries.

Btw I predict total disaster on the brand guessing and I will be surprised if anyone will get a particular brand right. Guessing the price range and giving a taste score will be interesting though.
