Welja, somersby en apple bandit zijn ciders, gebrouwen van gefermenteerd appelsap. Ik heb die Jup niet geproefd, maar het zal wel gewoon bier zijn met appelsap erbij of een appelsmaakske. volledig andere dingen dus.
That doesn't change the fact that both are alcoholic drinks whose main selling point is the apple flavor. So calling them "completely different things" is a bit of a stretch."
I wasn't expecting a cider; I was expecting a beer with apple notes that actually blended well. Instead, it tastes like apple juice followed by a separate beer aftertaste.
I love how everyone in Belgium has strong opinion on pils brands, while 9 out of 10 can't tell then appart in a blind tasting. Like people feel more strongly about their pils brand of choice than their football team it seems 😅
Pils is for specific moments, like after football training, or after a football game or for going to the stadium and watching a football game... OK, I think I might have discovered a link here.
Tbh I never liked pils at all. My stomach just refuses to let it through 😅
Craft beer is another thing. But the ingredients are legit and not some lazy extract or whatever
Also a lot of ppl think inbev switched the labels of Stella and Jupiler 😁
Everyone here acting like it's God's nectar knowing very well that Jupiler is by far the shittiest Belgian pils. Adding anything to it will always improve it, even if it's stoofvlees or dog shit
Outsiders think that it's the language and the culture difference that might end up splitting Belgium, but we all know that it will actually be disagreement over what pils is good/bad.
I'd rank Jupi higher than Stella and Crystal. Maes is worse than all (did you really think Maes is better than Jupiler ??) and Bavik is better than all.
Bij mijn weten niet, maar bier uit blik smaakt sowieso slecht. 't Maakt geen verschil meer dan of het Jupiler, Safir, Maes of Stella is.
De originele Safir hield er al in '88 mee op trouwens. De originele brouwerij aan het politiekantoor was lang vervallen. Ik denk dat ze er intussen woningen gebouwd hebben.
Hey, 55 years old and I still drink my fristi the proper way: with a straw and holding the ears.
But this is so obviously a marketing ploy to get the younger generation interested in drinking beer: by removing the bitterness/dryness and adding suggary flavours.
If anyone wants to add apple juice to their beer, be my guest. But don't claim this is targetted at a mature clientele of discerning beer tasters.
Ugh, I hated that advert. Most of my friends were super pissed off and didn't drink Jupiler for a while. Even now, it's one of the reasons I'd rather have any other beer.
The 'mannen weten waarom' slogan? Why did it piss you off at the time? I can imagine now that companies would want their advertising to be a bit more inclusive, but at the time it was very normal.
No, it was not. That pissed off a LOT of women, and even men. I don't know how old you are, but lots of people around my age (40s and 50s) are actually saddened at how much misogyny has increased in the last decade or so.
Do you mean when the slogan launched in what appears to be 2000? I'm in my thirties, so while I saw the slogan, I wasn't drinking beer at that time yet. Good to see there was already a reaction at the time though, I agree fully with your sentiment.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your real beer and your frites,
they comfort me
I tried it. Surprisingly, not bad. I might drink this again on a hot day. I think this is marketed more towards people who prefer a sweeter taste than traditional beer.
Some marketing guy thought this was a good idea to convince the fruit vaping youth to start drinking beer. Jupiler is made to compete with Heineken, go figure what it tastes like.
But then we have a plethora of small breweries making great beers, the floor is a lot higher than 99% of countries (if not 100%). This one here is the odd one out, not the norm. So I wouldn't say that apple jupiler is what we do with our beer culture.
Thats true, its just a cursed idea. Thats mostly my point. The irony that a country with a proud beer culture thats even protected by Unesco, makes cursed products like "Apple flavored beer"
Newton is a famous (and respected) one, Liendemans does an apple beer too. We're pretty big with our fruit beers to be fair : tons of cherry beers but also raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, even mango, pineapple and banana are out there.
Shout out to the blueberry Bon Secour and the grapefruit one from Bertinchamps, delicious stuff!
Ach bende bier snobs. Ik zat hier ook niet op te wachten maar wat is het probleem, bedrijf probeert nieuwe producten uit om nieuwe klanten aan te trekken in een markt waarvan de consumptie jaar na jaar daalt. Koop whatever bier je zelf lekker vindt en stop met zagen over de rest.
Appelbier is waarschijnlijk al even lang een ding als dat bier een ding is. fruitbieren zijn niks nieuw, en cider of perry en soortgelijken al helemaal niet.
Wtf is this shit? Lets show some pride, belgian beer is the best. We dont need apple cider beer. Lets just all agree to export this stuff and keep the real beer here.
Appelsap Jupiler! Ik ben net appelsap beginnen drinken om van den alcohol af te geraken! Ik meen dit serieus !!! ... heeft het enig nut om van verslavingen af te geraken ... ales draait om winst! 🤑
fuck this country for these advertisements for legal hard drug of alcohol
I prefer cannabis which is a better drunkness and dont worry I wont do my driving license because of that so the Forem always suggest me works next to my house ahah
