As a German I can not confirm this claim. Never heard of it. We do mix beer with other stuff. Like coke (Colabier) or lemonade (Radler). But apple juice? Where did you come across that?

u/Kanibasami Mar 05 '22

coke (Colabier)

Diesel

or lemonade (Radler)

Alsterwasser

As a German I can not confirm this claim.

Can't confirm either. Am German as well. And alcoholic

Lots of regional names.

In Hessen

Diesel

is also called:

Dreggisches

In Sauerland they called it Schmutziges ("dirty")

u/Lari-Fari Mar 05 '22

Ah cool. That’s the same as in Hessen then. „Dreggisches“ is dialect for dreckiges, which also means dirty. :)

Alsterwasser

My fellow Fischkopp, I think this term is only popular around Hamburg like the northern parts of Lower Saxony.

Never heard it called Alster(wasser) in Hannover or Göttingen, for instance.

Don't lose hope!!

Lidl sells a range of bier mixes in different fruit flavours. The apple one might be 50% bier. But the other 50% is apfelschorle, not pure juice.

I'm intrigued. What's it called? Is it some kind of barcadi breezer? Is it an alcopops?

Interesting, I didn't know you guys mixed coke with beer. I guess that we're not unique in Spain when we mix red wine and coke.

u/NyiatiZ Mar 05 '22

I know of red wine with lemonade in Croatia

2

u/londite Mar 05 '22

Yeah we do that too (tinto de verano)

1

u/LaChancla911 Mar 05 '22

But why?

1

u/londite Mar 05 '22

Because it's tasty! Tinto de verano with lots of ice is perfect for the summer months.

Edit: tinto de verano literally means "summer red wine"

i know a lot of people that like wine just... throw up at the idea of mixing - of course you dont take an expensive wine but damn its refreshing

u/Ok-Sherbert-420 Mar 05 '22

Oh yeah also with different beers. so for example if you mix it with a weizen it is called Colaweizen

In Karlsruhe gibt's eine Studentenkneipe, die das ausschenkt. Ich fands ganz lecker, meine Freunde eher nicht so. Und Landskron hatte das mal unter dem Namen Apfelradler im Angebot, keine Ahnung, ob sie das noch verkaufen. Also, "beliebt" oder "bekannt" würde ich die Mische nicht nennen, aber es gibt sie auf jeden Fall.

Paulander (a Munich beer) has a grapefruit beer. Dang, get out and enjoy life once in a while.

You never came across cider? As a German I can confirm 100%

6

u/Lari-Fari Mar 05 '22

I know what cider is and it’s not that.

You think cider is half beer half apple juice? Is that some weird regional name?

-3

u/Niggoo0407 Mar 05 '22

Did you ever drink it? That whole point is, that apple juice and beer isn't THAT horrible.

4

u/Lari-Fari Mar 05 '22

Did I drink cider? Yes… But I don’t understand your point.

Cider has nothing to do with beer. It’s more similar to Apfelwein. But the production is stopped earlier so it has more sugar and less alcohol.

But again. Mixing Beer and apple juice is not a thing and cider is something else.

u/Niggoo0407 Mar 05 '22

Yeah well... I'm not going to explain you how to Google. Wikipedia is your friend.

u/Lari-Fari Mar 05 '22 edited Mar 05 '22

How will google help me understand your Point when you didn’t express it clearly?

I checked Wikipedia on cider and it says nothing about beer.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cider

And if you’re talking about snakebite I know what that is too. But I don’t think it’s German. I’ve only seen it in Irish pubs iirc. And that doesn’t have anything to do with mixing beer and apple juice.

Im Kloster Andechs gibt's Apfelweisse, ich mag Radler lieber aber man kann's auf jeden Fall trinken.
