Every Style of Beer Explained | WIRED

If you think this is long, just imagine the 8+ hours of filming it took to get all of it out! Definitely don't envy whoever had to go through and edit it all together. It was an absolute blast to shoot though, and I have to say, after talking about beer for that long without getting to enjoy one, that first post-shoot beer was mighty tasty!

He should have had to drink a version of each beer listed. That would have really amped up the fun factor.

I have to applaud Wired for picking an articulate, educated, reasonable individual to explain a HUGE variety of beer styles both accurately and in a way that does not insult his audience if that audience actual knows and/or brews beer. Seriously...well done!

This dude is having a really hard time not saying that American lager beers are weak sauce

Whoa, they searched and used ALL the Brewery Stock Footage.

Ah. The quarantine algorithm figured out I'm an alcoholic.

the mere fact that you need 69 minutes to name and shortly describe all the types of beer means that the world is a nice place to explore

Kudos to the person in charged of listening to everything he said & looking up stock footage for them.

It took me 7 years of being sceptical to beer for me to realize that the reason it tasted bad was because the supermarket only sells the ones I dislike. After I found ale and the fresh taste of draft beer I fell in love with this drink.

As an Irishman I’m happy to see stout being described as light. Guinness is a session beer here, for those that enjoy it

Who'd of thought Wired would put out one of the most comprehensive, if not THE best beer style videos on YT. Absolutely killed it.

Thanks for having us talk about beer styles with you!

God I love beer. I’m not a big drinker outside of beer, there’s just something about beer that amazes me. I’m not drinking beer to get drunk, I drink beer for the beer. The taste, the history, the different varieties, crazy. Nothin like a cold beer at the end of the day, especially if you can really fully enjoy it and know exactly what you’re sipping on.

If i'm ever at the same bar as him, i'll have what he's having

Just a note: The second word in "Pilsner Urquell" isn't pronounced in a French way (like "urkell"), but more like "Oor-kwell". "Quell", or "Quelle" (with an additional e - pronounced like the one before - at the end) is a German word for source/spring/well. "Urquell" means something like "ancient source."

took me 9 minutes to realize i went to high school with this guy XD

Just saw this gem in my feed. And I'm really pleasantly surprised by your great way of describing Kölsch as more than a drink. The thing you mentiont with how easy it is to drink is so true. Normaly when I'm out with my friends we have a couple of cold ones, play a little Schoken and be out to 3 or 4 in the moring without even realising it. And Kölsch is a part of it. Since Kölsch is also the name of our lokal dialect, we like to say "Kölsch is the only language you can drink". So Kölsch for us is s feeling, a way of live, a language, a beer, a part of our culture. And yes. If you ever get the chance to come to Cologne try to seek out a Brauhaus, but also at least one of the many many many Kneipen. Smaler Pup style locations where you can meet locals and find friend for the evening.

Lived in both Belgium and Germany in the late 1980’s and mid 1990’s. I was very impressed with the wide variety of beers in Belgium but settled on the Trappist beer as my favorites. Loved German Swartzbier like Kostritzer and the Hefeweizens. Today in USA, the explosion of microbreweries has made beer drinking a true pleasure.

This is one of the best videos I've seen. Kudos to the creators for putting this much effort into going into such detail and really taking the time to explain each one enough.
