Im not happy because it looks like Lidle has replaced a good quality German beer with a cheaper version called Perlenbacher which isnt even brewed in Germany but France instead
Believe it or not, someone brought this up earlier. We're talking about Perlenbacher's pilsner, I assume? I realize it's probably more expensive, but Rothaus would be a nice alternative. Is Rothaus available in the UK?
No it used to be Grafenwalder now they have Perlenbacher instead which is brewed in France unlike Grafenwalder that was proper German Beer
Grafenwalder ? *cringe* It's a typical chainstore golem, brought to undead life by advertisement but lacking anything even remotely resembling a soul. Stuff like that should come with a warning label. Although, being sold by Lidel should be warning label enough...
Haha! It is funny because it is true. I did buy Grafenwalder when I was to young to buy beer because it was sold at Lidl. You should go to a different store and buy better German beer.
Grafenwalder Hefe Weissbier (Weißbier) was one of the best beers I have drank. It introduced me to the wonderful world of wheat beers. I noticed the EAN number in Finland is the same as for the new Perlenbacher (4 304493 256026). It seems like the older I get the stronger tastes I like as the number of lingual papillae decreases or something. The best wheat beer so far I have tasted is Weihenstephaner Vitus Weizenbock, by the way.
Perlenbacher is just a new brand name. It does not come from France, but is brewed at TCB in Frankfurt (Oder), which is a French company. TCB also made Grafenwalder in the past. In West Germany, Lidl has some other breweries to supply beer, just to keep transport cost low.
