Oettinger Export
Brewed by Oettinger Brauerei GmbH
Style: Dortmunder/Helles
Oettingen, Bavaria, Germany
Oettinger is Germany’s best selling beer brand since the early 1990’s, made by Oettinger Brauerei headquartered in the small town of Oettingen, in Bavaria, Germany
They also have breweries located in Gotha, Mönchengladbach and Braunschweig.
Nicknamed “Oetti”, the brewery is well known for producing vast amounts of cheap beer which can be easily got in all the major supermarket chains. Basically it is a German version of “stack em high sell em cheap”, and for people with only coppers in their pockets and students, well….. this is the perfect beer. They dont do draft and its rare to find in a pub. But in case you are worried, all of the Oettinger beers are brewed in accordance to the “Reinheitsgebot”, the German purity law of 1516, the standard used to maintain good quality beer in Germany.
Oettinger uses several ways to keep beer prices low: It does not advertise, it delivers directly to the stores and shops, and has a highly automated brewing process that uses as few employees as possible to brew vast amounts of beer.
All this has made the brand a runaway success, easily becoming Germany’s go to beer for getting pissed on the cheap. It is also exported as far away as Australia and closer to home in Austria, Switzerland, Spain and Italy.
The family-owned company was founded in the picturesque Bavarian town of Oettingen, way back in 1731, as it says on the can, but the brewery really began to change when it was taken over in 1956 by Otto and Günther Kollmar. These two set up a direct marketing strategy aimed at the price conscious consumer and in the era of supermarkets in the 70’s they had the perfect distribution network to flood the German market with their produce.
Review: 50 cl Can of Oettinger Export: ABV: 5.4%
The cheap beer with added value.
On pour a lot of carbonation producing a very clear golden colour. A big bubbly white head appears which does die a death pretty fast to leave a small flat head. No lacing. Appearance is ok, nothing special.
Has a good beery smell, a bit faint but good all the same, yeasty, grainy….
Bit of a biting metallic taste, but goes and once you get over that the beer is quite enjoyable.
Can taste the malts, the grains and the yeast.
All in the front taste, nothing remarkable in the back end which is a little bit dry.
Not bad. Smooth and filling, getting nice big creamy mouthfuls.
Strong bitter hoppy taste might not be suitable for everyone, but it doesn’t hang around and I found it bearable.
Beery. I like it. Sessionable enough though, especially for the price. The beer to price ratio in this beer is excellent, Cheap beer equals good session.
Brewed by Ramseier Suisse, one of the major beverage producers in Switzerland, was formerly made by Unidrink Getränke. Brewed in Hochdorf, a small town in the canton of Lucerne, St Gothard Lager is brewed for Aldi Suisse. 
Taste is not too bad, some very nice mouthfuls. Malts mostly. And that’s as much as you are going to taste really.
The brewery was founded in 1886 by Johann Kienle, however, the brewery wasnt known as Erdinger Weißbräu until 1949 when its owner at the time, Franz Brombach, changed it. The current owner is Franz Brombach’s son, Werner Brombach who has been in charge since 1975, and under his guidance he helped establish Erdinger as the successful nationwide and international wheat beer product of today.
So lets try this “true classic of Bavarian wheat beer culture”, as stated on their own website!
This is my second beer reviewed from the Breton brewery Britt (Brasserie de Bretagne), formerly of The Brasserie du Trégor, who merged with Britt in 2010. 
Coming in a relatively boring looking bottle that doesn’t stand out. 
Lot of taste, not bad, can get some fruit…..bananas 
Delirium tremens (also called “The DTs”, “the horrors”, or “the shakes”) is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal that can cause confusion and delirium. Delirium tremens is mainly caused by a long period of drinking being stopped abruptly and can usally last from a day to three days. People may hallucinate and can be appear delirious and restless. Physical effects may include shaking, shivering, irregular heart rate, and sweating. Occasionally, a very high body temperature or seizures may result in death. Delirium tremens is an emergency condition and should be treated seriously. DT occurs in 5–10% of alcoholics, and death can occur in anything between 15% and 40%, depending on the treatment given or lack of it, showing that Alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs to experience withdrawal from. Great!
Some people call the DTs “seeing the pink elephant”. A “pink elephant” is the stereotypical image of what drunks see when they get the shakes and possible seizures from lack of booze. From Wikipedia we get “The term dates back to at least the early 20th century, emerging from earlier idioms about snakes and other creatures. An alcoholic character in Jack London’s 1913 novel John Barleycorn is said to hallucinate “blue mice and pink elephants”. So there in lies the answer to why The Huyghe Brewery put a pink elephant on the label of its Delirium Tremens beer, in case you were wondering! In a foil wrapped bottle. 
On pour I get a golden yellow looking appearance with some nice lively carbonation going on, bubbling along. A nice foamy white head, looks good, but does go flat after a short while…..eventually. 
Very sweet taste, not very appealing to me at all, don’t like it to be honest 
A definite slow burner
