Albeit there is a very good local brewery in Rheinbach, the brand "Rheinbacher" is brewed by the Krombacher Brewery specially for Aldi (not available in German Aldi's, most possibly because of the brand name), even the label is very similar to the Krombacher label.

I used to think that too but it's not true, it is all in the mind. IfI find the link, a blind taste was made under controlled conditions and the myth about beer tasting different out of a can was debunked ...... Drinking beer out of a can definitely had a negative effect on the experience but pouring into a glass, or out of a bottle, nope!. .
Look at it this way ....... Draft lagers all ultimately come out of a giant can anyway. (Of course you won't believe me, none of my friends entrenched in this view do either)

Still would prefer this over a can every day. It's not about the taste it's about the art! Yes, beer is art, it's more than just some stuff you gobble down from a can, at least here in bavaria.

This... This is what gets me.
I don't think there's a drink anywhere that looks as delicious and refreshing as beer. But as soon as I taste the stuff... [blah]
Cider, on the other hand, is delightfully sweet, and is the nectar of the gods.
And also the conviviality of the foam in a beautiful glass, and the visibility of the color of the liquid and the sparkling bubbles
You can pour the can into a glass to get the same effect.
Sounds about right. Still not bad lager/beer though if you go on taste alone.

Half a mo.,.. no one (sane
) would say DRINKING beer out of a can is something which should ever be done outside of desperation. My can of beer will look exactly the same as those tasty beers when poured in a glass (I like a nice head too) . As for cider being better than beer..... To each their own. mind you I don't like wine either... I am all about the grain... I can drink most beer but I abused cider too much and wine is just horrible
It's not me who will say otherwise

Sorry I quoted wrong post
Stroh? That would have been Austrian Rum1, not brandy. After a bit of googling (what is it whith that "proof" anyways?), that would have been Stroh 54, i.e. 54% alcohol. There's also Stroh 60 and Stroh 80. That stuff is not usually for drinking, but for mixing, creating flaming drinks (like Feuerzangenbowle) or setting up a Rumtopf (fruit marinated in rum, usually set up during summer when the various fruit and berries are ripe, then consumed around and after christmas. Very delicious - and extremely dangerous).
1 Well, it's called Rum. As Austria isn't exactly known for its sugarcane plantations or overseas trade, the traditional receipe contained alcohol (lots), colourings and spices.
Shudders at the thought of 4.5% beer

My problem is I drink at a fairly fast pace regardless of what I drink. If I drink say some premium Belgium beer and start at say 6pm by 8:30 I will be blitzed and 9:30 in bed (been there done that).. so I generally have 2 or 3 choice beers to start me off and then move over to a lower alcohol 4 - 4.5% session beer
Well, in Germany, you would have trouble to find anything below 4.8% at all. ~4.8-5.5% is standard here, in particular Bavarian choices can go beyond 6%. My personal 'welcome home' favorite is Carlsberg Elephant (7.5%), btw. The version they ship in North Germany, the Danish one somehow doesn't taste right.

I... Need to get some. Still? That's the best stuff!
I agree, still is awesome! This one is sparkling, but not overly so.
I always get Aldi gin, even before it started winning awards. Superb stuff. Nothing like a Gin and Tonic and lots of ice in the hot weather. So refreshing.

I cannot repeat here how my Uncle referred to Tennents Lager when he ordered a pint of it for someone else as part of a round - and the barman knew exactly what he was referring to....
Today is a good day. Not only do I learn the 2080ti is launching at same time as the base card (and by God it looks a monster).... I have found a new cheap beer to replace my Aldi one. Perlenbacher from Lidl
I have a beer cupboard of 12 different beers on my hunt but I think this is a winner
(Close 2nd was Aldi 1897 but this is more expensive and for my taste not quite as nice (but little in it)
