Wie gut ist Deutschlands Bier? (Ganze Folge) | Quarks

Beer is considered Germans' favorite beverage. The German Purity Law limits the list of ingredients. Only hops, malt, water, and yeast are allowed in beer. But is the Purity Law a guarantee of high beer quality? Experts observe a loss of flavor. Quarks puts it to the test. 01:41-07:21 Uniform Taste in Pilsner? The Big Quarks Test "I can clearly distinguish my favorite Pilsner from other Pilsner beers," many people are convinced. Or is there a "uniform taste" in beer from the major producers? Quarks conducted a scientific taste test comparing the taste of three major Pilsner brands. 09:06-14:01 The History of Beer is also a History of Humanity Beer has probably existed for 14,000 years – at least as a kind of primordial version of a fermented mash. Beer has accompanied humanity for a long time, if not ensured its survival. And beer has also been enshrined in law for thousands of years. 15:24-20:25 How Pilsner Beer Is Made We visit a brewery in Weihenstephan, Bavaria. A beer is being created here, for Quarks. 21:19-26:58 New Flavor from Old Yeasts – On the Hunt for the Original Yeast Yeasts are the be-all and end-all of beer brewing. They shape the different beer styles. Researchers are therefore searching for the "original yeast" – in old beer cellars, for example. Every rediscovered brewing yeast helps counteract the uniform taste of many modern beers. 28:23-30:50 Beer Gets You Drunk – and What Else? For a long time, beer was considered a medicine. But what exactly beer does to the body is still surrounded by numerous myths. Quarks has taken a closer look at five of them. Does beer make you fat? Does beer make men grow breasts? Is beer isotonic? Does beer help you fall asleep? Does beer protect against cancer? 31:42-37:03 "Brussels Champagne" and other beer specialties from Belgium In Brussels, there's beer on every corner. We visit a Brussels beer café and take a closer look at the selection. 38:18-41:50 Revolution in the Brewing Kettle: Craft Beers from Germany Rosemary beer, hibiscus beer, or honey beer. At Cologne's "Braustelle," Peter Esser not only brews Kölsch, but also a variety of very special beers. Quarks takes a look over the shoulder of the brewing rebel from Cologne-Ehrenfeld.
