The cheapest of them German beers ... Aldi ftw

[Miraculix]

Good evening fellow beer enthusiasts.

I happen to have overheard my father praising the Winterbock of the brewery Schultenbräu, which is the house beer of the cheapest discounter in Germany known as Aldi.

So this sparked my interest. I went to Aldi and I was delighted to find not two different Schultenbräu beer varieties, but four of them! How exciting!

I paid the tremendous amount of something around 3,8 euro for all four of them together, which has to be deducted by one euro because you get 25 cent back for every empty can you return to the store. So I paid a whopping two euro something for four half a litre cans of beer of which two are strong beers.

It's a Helles, a Pilsner, A "strong" beer and a Winterbock.

I'm having the Pilsner right now and it has everything you'd expect from a good pilsner.

Regarding beer, it's nice to be in Germany sometimes.

Cheers!

Very nice.
Are you able to find the actual brewery, I presume that it is not Aldi, they probably contract it to another brewery.
Maybe the have some other varieties.

I noticed that the hop cone in the logo on the top half of the Pils can is green while the other three are white.
Is that Pils particularly hoppy?

The pils is not in Jever territory, but it's definitely more like a northern German pils which tends to be more bitter than the southern counterparts often are.

The brewery is located in Braunschweig, they also produce Öttinger, which is another cheap beer here. They also brew Schultenbräu in the Netherlands.

I'm having the Winterbock now, really solid beer. Very dark, almost like a stout, but I taste zero roast. A bit more hoppy than the usual bock.

Aldi is a discount retail chain based in Germany, not a brewery. They do tend to have a couple good beers at good prices here in the US usually.

Aldi UK doesn’t have that choice of beers unfortunately.
