Becks is not imported from Germany.
I already knew that Becks is not an original German recipe but thought it was still made there.

I'm not going to dig through receipts to get the $50 refund; but I might go for the $12.

I hope Sierra Nevada is actually from the Sierra Nevada region...and I am talking about the beer, not the performer ;)

Becks is not an original German recipe? well, Pilsener type of beer in general was invented by a german guy in Czech Republic - in case you meant that.

No, I meant that Becks is about half as strong as it would be if made and sold in Germany.
So how can it be the original recipe?

RyuLion · 06-25-2015, 01:47 PM

You'll live..just drink other beer in the meantime..

The Brewery for Sierra Nevada is in Chico California, they have a restaurant where they have a special deal with a local rancher to feed the spent oats and barley from the beer to the cows.

i had Becks in the US but I didn't check the % - the German one has 4.9% alcohol

but it definitely tasted different, I lived in Bremen for 2 years and Becks is still one of my favorites but the american one didn't taste by far as good as the original German one

That's funny, even american beer taste different from state to state? Beer is like a fine recipe, very hard to imitate every time I suppose?' And we grow to the taste of our local.

Here is some real German beer.

aka123 · 06-25-2015, 02:46 PM

At least Lidl has German beers, but I guess there ain't Lidl in America. Also, I don't know how good are the Lidl beers by German standards, maybe they export all the shit in here and fake it being some premium German beer. I have heard rumors about that.

Genuine German import.

Explain about Budweiser and the eastern European connection too.

Kudos for Lidl. Well, at least in here Lidl has helped to bring some competition into our markets, though it isn't yet enough; partly because Lidl has troubles to get marketplaces (our biggest chains have good "relations" to decision makers).

Sounds like a personal problem; every import I have had in recent memory has been an import.

Their beers are pretty good, but if they have a restaurant, go. The food is very good!

I haven't been there since Budweiser took over their distribution

total fucking racism for sure

mineistaken · 06-25-2015, 05:24 PM

Most worldwide beer brands have breweries in many countries. So it is not necessary "imported".
Does it say on the bottle/can that it is imported?

In Germany the Reinheitsgebot applies and typically an exported beer from there reflects that. Your seemingly foreign beer just lacks an import stamp is all.

candidpro · 06-25-2015, 07:09 PM

you should check out the documentary Beer Wars, it touches on lots of things that are wrong with the alcohol industry!

jsmih · 06-25-2015, 07:28 PM

Of course, had the consumers looked at the label they would have known it was brewed in the US!

TORPEDO is the best you can buy at cheapest price if you are a overhopped IPA drinker. Not imported, made in USA.

I know I'm a snob but I only drink what is made in here in Oregon ...only 420 different craft brews ...poor me!

You can buy any "imported" beer also bottled in Australia eg: Corona, Bud, Becks is all bottled here.

Stay classy.

just a punk · 06-26-2015, 04:20 AM

If you read the back side of the bottle, you will see where and when exactly it was made. We also produce a lot of Czech and German sorts of beer locally. However imported ones are also available. Usually the imported beer is 2-4x times is more expensive than local.

Note the price range ^

Welcome to the "we don't need any rules telling anyone what we should do or how we should do it because it will cost you a job" world.

They did not lie, you just mislead yourself. Shame on you !

I checked my vodka bottles, still made in Russia, my Guinness still from Ireland.
