It's been a long time since, when I went to a pub, I ordered a beer from the waiter on the fly, the one I used to drink all the time, Pauline Wheat.
Entering the world of craft beer and discovering the #Beer community and favorite #Beersaturday hangout, I've even started to consider and choose which pubs I want to go to.
I have some pubs nearby and I'm glad they offer craft beers, but since I started drinking craft beers, I haven't been to some pubs.
I went to the market today to buy household items, and Paulaner called me from the beer shelf.
One well-known, Wheat, and the other, which I have not tried before, Lager.
I took both and took them home.
They were destined to be drunk as soon as they cooled a little in the refrigerator.
Paulaner Munchner hell, Munich lager, light, filtered, pasteurized beer with 4.9% alcohol.
Water, barley malt and hops are the ingredients used in brewing this beer, which, like all German beers, is prepared according to the old German law on brewing and its purity from 1516.
Beer, which gives a thick foam that holds well when poured, and the color of the beer is crystal clear and light yellow.
The taste is sweet, without strong carbonation and without bitterness.
The first sips seemed to me like I was drinking milk, not beer 🙂
Due to the pronounced foam when pouring, it is necessary to wait a few moments for a few sips to form from the foam.
This procedure can best be seen on a fast recording (30 times 🙂).
Great beer and I'm glad I took it for a tasting, now I know another one that won't be missed in pubs that don't have craft beers 🙂
After drinking a light lager, I cracked open a well-known wheat beer.
Paulaner weissbier, Munich wheat beer.
Cloudy, wheat, unfiltered, pasteurized beer with 5.5% alcohol.
Unlike lager, this beer also contains wheat malt.
When pouring, it gives an even more expressive, thicker foam, which is much denser than lager and lasts longer.
The distinctive sweet taste of wheat beer, pleasant bitterness, reminded me why I love this beer.
After, in a very short time, I drank the second one, wheat, I thought that soon I have to organize with my friends and go to a pub, for a draft wheat Paulaner beer 🙂
Despite all the interesting craft beers, I will remain faithful to Paulaner.
Interesting! When I find one, I like a wheat beer as my first beer of the evening, after which I switch, so in this case, I would have started with the Weissbeer and then moved on to the Münchner Hell.
As for the pouring style, is it a common practice in Germany to pour into an upright glass to create a larger head, rather than tilt the glass to reduce the amount of foam? I remember in Berlin that I often had to wait for my beer while the barman let the head settle.

Since I am familiar with the taste of Paulaner wheat, I purposely took the lager first, so that I could feel the taste on my palate.
I was not wrong, it is very pleasant and I liked it.
The question is how it would seem to me if I drank it after wheat, which has a much more intense taste.
And the percentage of alcohol in lager beer is a little lower, and somehow it makes sense for me to drink the weaker beer first.
Man!! It must be my North American showing but watching you pour that beer from a foot in the air into an untitled glass for 3/4 foam gives me fits! ;)
Paulaner is a formative beer brand for me from the trips to Amsterdam and Holland. I think you might need a Paulaner branded glass like the one I have on my shelf for special occasions!
What am I going to do, I don't have a third hand to hold the camera while pouring the beer, so I accepted the sacrifice of high foam 😀
When I pour a beer in regular circumstances (where there are no pictures), I have a bottle in my left hand and a glass in my right, bent at a 45° angle 🙂
Oh, no, no. This is a branded glass, although I have hidden the logo, it can be recognized by the shape on the bottom of the glass.
It's the same for wheat beer, but a different brand, so I didn't want Paulaner beer to feel uncomfortable 🙂
Have you tried Kapuziner?
I definitely have to grab a glass for my collection when I'm drinking Paulaner in some Pub.
Never even heard of Kapuziner! By the look of that glass, I think I might want to!
Both great classic beers but the Weiss Beer would be the choice for me
