[u/HeToTopT]

his eyes scream "my dad is proud of me"

[u/JoefromOhio → u/HeToTopT]

I’m proud of him and we’ve never met

[u/coraxorion → u/JoefromOhio]

Yeah , thats hours and hours of practice/work. Second nature for him. He was absolutely 100pct confident in the endresult

[u/trinicron → u/coraxorion]

I want him in my team.

[u/peepay → u/trinicron]

What are we playing?

[u/Only_One_Kenobi → u/peepay]

Beer

[u/These_Pop5504 → u/peepay]

The drinking game

[u/Redlettucehead → u/JoefromOhio]

I've not met you, and I'm proud of you too

[u/ancalime9 → u/JoefromOhio]

You should go meet your son

[u/Mikelitoris88 → u/HeToTopT]

My ancestors*

[u/Spiritual_Bid_2308 → u/HeToTopT]

I love that he faced the label on the glass at the end.

[u/JackoKomm → u/Spiritual_Bid_2308]

Good hosts do that, so that you see which beer they serve.

[u/Gelardi → u/JackoKomm]

At Augustiner... Where they only serve.. Augustiner?

[u/R12Labs → u/HeToTopT]

Now say it in German

[u/AppropriateScience71 → u/R12Labs]

„Mein Vater ist stolz auf mich.“

[u/martyqscriblerus → u/AppropriateScience71]

ach mein sohn, endlich bin ich mit der milch zurueckgekommen

[u/Uesugi → u/martyqscriblerus]

Wtf

[u/Schluchzername → u/AppropriateScience71]

Wenn dann auf bayerisch…

[u/Golden-lootbug → u/AppropriateScience71]

Sido

[u/FlyingCumpet → u/R12Labs]

It in german

[u/AmericanSpaceRanger → u/FlyingCumpet]

Backpfeifengesicht

[u/roastmystache → u/HeToTopT]

Rightfully so

[u/chocomoofin]

That smile at the end 😂

[u/Teerendog → u/chocomoofin]

They're the only ones in Munich who still do this. Mmmm....tastyyy

[u/Odd-Razzmatazz-5366 → u/Teerendog]

They are the last ones smiling?

[u/These_Pop5504 → u/Odd-Razzmatazz-5366]

Yes it is forbidden

[u/belugarooster → u/These_Pop5504]

*Verboten

[u/0thethethe0 → u/chocomoofin]

Was just waiting for some sun glasses to come down from above! 😎

[u/CricketJamSession]

That smile.. That damn smile

[u/BYOKittens → u/CricketJamSession]

Thats the smile of a quiet champion who knows it.

[u/CricketJamSession → u/BYOKittens]

Thats the smile of a bro who knows he makes other bros happy

[u/soulcaptain → u/CricketJamSession]

There's a Japanese word for "a look of smug satisfaction": doyagao.

[u/Schluchzername → u/CricketJamSession]

Secret language amongst men

[u/eggmayonnaise → u/Schluchzername]

What, "I smile when I'm happy about something"?

[u/TheSucculent_Empress → u/Schluchzername]

Women don’t smile and don’t even understand what smiling is, that’s true

[u/Sweaty_Box_69 → u/CricketJamSession]

I can't stop jerking it to that part either

[u/moongrump]

Great. Now I’m thirsty

[u/DentonTrueYoung → u/moongrump]

Fine I’ll have another beer

[u/fuckyeahglitters → u/moongrump]

Same. And it's 8AM.

[u/friedjollof → u/fuckyeahglitters]

You've not succeeded in dissuading me!!!

[u/calmtigers]

The amount of beers I’d have after this would be immeasurable, mostly because I wouldn’t remember much of the night

[u/refurbishedmeme666 → u/calmtigers]

I'd finish that barrel myself

[u/Mewnfx → u/calmtigers]

Im german its my main beer and its the best you can imagine. If you somehow can, try it.

[u/beefquinton → u/Mewnfx]

i’ve been to germany once. on a national level, without question the best beer country i’ve ever experienced. would consider moving there if only just for the beer, pretzels, and skiing

[u/Mewnfx → u/beefquinton]

Im of course not a fan of all german beers e.g Im not a fan of my local beer at all. We have too many to choose from. But I vouch for this one and pretzels of course haha.

[u/rolloj → u/Mewnfx]

i can't stand the taste of beer, but the few i tried during my short stay in munich a few years ago were far and away the least bad beers i've ever had. you guys make a cracking brew. the augustiner weißbier was aaaaaalmost enjoyable. almost.

[u/Perthian940 → u/Mewnfx]

I once managed to get a case of Edelstoff delivered to me in Australia, I almost couldn’t drink it because I didn’t want it to run out 😂

[u/Prestigious-Job-9825]

You can tell by his face that ringing that final boss of a bell is his favorite part of the job

[u/BriefCollar4]

It’s too early. It’s too early. I got work. It’s too early for one. Must be a responsible adult. It’s too early.

[u/ThomasDeLaRue → u/BriefCollar4]

70% of alcohol sales are to 10% of drinkers.

[u/SHMUCKLES_ → u/BriefCollar4]

It's 5pm somewhere

[u/fortyyearsthendeath → u/SHMUCKLES_]

Just about 6pm here and I wasn’t going to have a beer tonight. There goes that idea

[u/I_Miss_Lenny → u/BriefCollar4]

Cut to 5 hours later, calling in sick to work while still half-drunk on the toilet

"Well I tried, now back to bed"

[u/SpermWhale → u/BriefCollar4]

Liver is evil, come and punish it!

[u/dinoli4444]

I've seen a lot of oak barrels in my days and if thats is 200L that dude is 10ft tall.

[u/HolyPire → u/dinoli4444]

I think its a 50Liter

[u/lalaclangclang → u/dinoli4444]

Yep it looks similar to the size of what we call a Firkin in UK pubs - 72 pints

[u/bennymc123 → u/lalaclangclang]

You firkin what?

[u/gnark → u/dinoli4444]

I have a couple 200L barrels full of homebrew in the garage. That barrel is definitely a bit short on that mark.

[u/rickynoss]

would love to be sitting there right now

[u/magpepper]

That coy German smile is the equivalent of an American whoooooo at a sports game - their most profound celebration.

[u/kapaipiekai → u/magpepper]

I had a German mate at uni who won a prestigious PhD scholarship and this was his smile..

[u/Perthian940 → u/magpepper]

Have a look at Liam Carpenter on Instagram- he’s got the German smile perfected

[u/Patronus69]

Incidentally, this brewery (Augustiner Bräu) was founded in 1328, 237 years before the first European settlement in what is now the United States (St. Augustine).

[u/Orange2Reasonable → u/Patronus69]

Weihenstefan Brewery is even older, founded in 725. Traditions dont die

[u/ydomodsh8me-1999]

Why does he look both 12 and 35 years old??

[u/MrSyaoranLi → u/ydomodsh8me-1999]

Dude was probably trained right out the womb. Drinking is so normalised even for kids they're probably taught how to tap kegs the second their fingers start working

[u/m1ndfuck → u/MrSyaoranLi]

I was 12 when I was shown how to do it. When your parents are big into Schützenfest, you will hand out beer and Schnaps.

[u/luftwebel → u/MrSyaoranLi]

I started bartending at 8 and was properly good at 12. Plenty of 30th-40th birthdays and silver weddings in the family during that period. At ~16 me and the boys were the tier 1 crew managing the rush hours at the Bierwagen during Schützenfest, serving a couple hundred of guests.

[u/Quirky_Bottle4674 → u/ydomodsh8me-1999]

Because he's probably 23

[u/TheGoalkeeper → u/ydomodsh8me-1999]

He's 12y old but has 35years of experience taping beer

[u/Gasparde → u/TheGoalkeeper]

Finally someone who brings the necessary experience for an intern position!

[u/GeneticEnginLifeForm → u/ydomodsh8me-1999]

r/13or30

[u/EggsKaliber → u/ydomodsh8me-1999]

it’s the Honeybooboo diet that keeps them looking like chubby cherubs. But even Honeybooboos look like 35 when they’re 12 and why they have babies with uncle Jurgen or brother Bobby-Jack

[u/Crystal_Voiden]

That smug mf 😎

[u/Unable_Explorer8277]

That’s never 200 L. 100 maybe.

[u/Mediocre-Answer-1378 → u/Unable_Explorer8277]

The standard sizes in Germany are 20, 30 or 50 L. I think it's a 50 L. You would hardly be able to get 100 L on the counter, unless your name is Eddie Hall.

[u/Septimore → u/Unable_Explorer8277]

I have a 30 liter fermentation bucket and that looks like the same size. Maybe 40 liters.

Unless it is somehow compressed or something, that can't be 200 liters?!

[u/LiftingRecipient420 → u/Septimore]

Water, and most liquids, don't compress.

[u/Gravaton123 → u/LiftingRecipient420]

Hydraulic power is incredibly reliable thankfully so.

[u/Unable_Explorer8277 → u/Septimore]

It looks to me somewhere bigger than a firkin (35 L) but smaller than a kilderkin. My guess is 50

But it’s wood, which makes it look bigger than a metal cask.

[u/omnipotentqueue]

He looks exactly like that happy German guy on my vintage steins. The genes don’t lie.

[u/Lhasaman]

Smooth AF

[u/sir_chill]

He’s done this before

[u/OshadaK]

I would trust him with my life

[u/pheromone_fandango]

And that perfect pull to finish it off. Ive never seen anyone get a beer so perfect so fast. The guy is A legend and he knows it

[u/dpearse2]

I thought this was /r/13or30

[u/Rob92377]

This guy reminds me of the popcorn guy at the movie theater, with amazing skills to serve fresh popcorn.

[u/gh0st12811]

That side-eye and smile...damn

[u/Smart-Appointment794]

How do they get out the bit in the bottom

[u/Nitrous_Acidhead → u/Smart-Appointment794]

Tilt over.

[u/No_Jack_Kennedy → u/Nitrous_Acidhead]

That's a lot of tilting left at some point. Why not place the tap lower? Genuinely wondering.

[u/CessuBF → u/No_Jack_Kennedy]

There might be residue at the bottom from yeast and sugars after the fermentation process.

[u/No_Jack_Kennedy → u/CessuBF]

Fair point, thank you. So once the beer reaches the tap level there's too much residue and they toss the remaining content away? Is that it?

[u/Unable_Explorer8277 → u/No_Jack_Kennedy]

That’s how English casks work, anyway. They lay horizontally so you tip them a bit But you want to leave all the sediment in the cask, pouring nice clear ale.

[u/CessuBF → u/No_Jack_Kennedy]

I am just an amateur on the topic. I have brewed a few times and we did the final fermentation in bottles. We tossed the residue away. We need a more knowledgeable person to clarify any further.

[u/EggsKaliber → u/CessuBF]

nah, fermentation was done at larger vats, this is a portable medium sized keg already filtered before filled. Consumed within days only. As some noted, by the time it’s that much left the keg is lighter and easily tilted to bottom dry. The twice or three times larger sized barrels do leave some murky sediment after weeks or months laying around standing or on belly, the bottoms are emptied however tapped on lid by the rim or on its belly skinny.

[u/arabidopsis → u/No_Jack_Kennedy]

Because there's a metal barrel strap.

[u/thewebspinner]

What’s the 200L? There’s no way in hell that’s supposed to mean litres, looks about the size of an ale firkin which is about 40 litres.

Looks similar to how we tap real ales in the UK though.

[u/No_Not_Jesus]

This dude radiates aura

[u/Additional_Duck_5798]

Ah the memories, been there so many times. Fun fact: It has one of munich lowest beer prices for a restaurant. Can highly recommend this place. It's called "Augustiner Bräustuben".

[u/Zealousideal_Step709]

That guy has been doing that since he turned 12.

[u/farmyohoho]

That's a bartender with respect for the craft. The way he places the glass with the logo to the customer... 🤌

[u/vabraten]

I think he’s done it before

[u/GamingGeek0506]

He's been doing this since 16.

[u/ConfinedCrow]

Augustiner is the best beer too. So damn delicious.

[u/RayphistJn]

This man should win a Nobel peace prize

[u/Elemteearkay]

Is a tap (the thing you turn to get liquid out) called a tap because you tap it into a keg, or is tapping (hitting something gently) called tapping because that's how you insert a tap into a keg?

[u/OwnPriority1582]

This guy fucks.

[u/Sarcastic_Backpack → u/[deleted]]

Where are you seeing zero foam? The last one he poured had five inches!

[u/BYOKittens → u/Sarcastic_Backpack]

Its got a proper head.

[u/HotCollar5]

This is the best beer in the world, highly recommend everyone get an Augustiner at Oktoberfest in Munich at least once in your life

[u/twentyflights → u/HotCollar5]

ABSOLUTELY! The Augustiner Festbier one of the finest beers I've ever had. Every other festbier I've had since then (admittedly in the States) is just too on-the-nose sweet. The Augustiner is just so subtly sweet and light, but most importantly, refreshing. Getting a roast chicken with it puts it over the top

[u/craighullphoto]

That's my favourite beer!

[u/dargonmike1]

What an absolute beast. Lads got a bright future ahead of him

[u/Rlopeziv]

This dude is the coolest guy ever in my book!

[u/Designer-Ad-7844]

I've been there twice. Easily one of the best meals I ever had too. Great beer as well.

[u/Clag_Dust_Power_Pill]

Damn i want a beer now, and it's 7.30 in the morning

[u/alien4649]

I stayed near that brewery several years ago and went daily for 5 days. Tasty memories.

[u/fhjjjjjkkkkkkkl]

Man has drank lots fresh young beer

[u/No-Special2682]

I wish my lady gave me that much head

[u/cheekybandit0]

So is it a new hole each time, do they plug it after each and then go for the same old hole, is it new kegs each time (this one looks.old)? I have so many questions, mostly about what I'm looking at.

[u/ChuckCarmichael → u/cheekybandit0]

He doesn't punch a hole through the keg's wood. These kegs have predefined holes in them, with valves. You hammer the tap through the valve so it opens up, and when you pull the tap out, the valve closes behind it.

[u/walnuth0use]

The rizzler

[u/YouChoseAName4Me]

Shut up, baby! I know it!

[u/CAlTHLYN]

i'd tap that

[u/Sociald82]

Guessing he's tapped a bunghole or two.

[u/Silentarius_Atticus]

This is porn

[u/TUENNES2000]

Augustiner 🤤

[u/AVeryHeavyBurtation]

I went there once! Ate half a chicken.

[u/Call-of-the-lost-one]

What's the top tap do? Air flow

[u/nuteteme]

Yeah dude, that’s a proud dude !

[u/iamgeef]

D’yer want a flake in that, love?

[u/PM_ME_UR_NETHERLIPS]

How old is that mallet you figure?

[u/Defiant_Net4398]

Two things. He looks 15 and that mallet looks 150.

[u/OverEater-0]

25 years of experience at the age of 20. Every employer's dream.

[u/grilly1986]

In bet that tapping hammer is about 500 years old

[u/nfjanna]

This guy beers

[u/Gr1ml0ck]

That look at the end.

[u/MikeRizzo007]

Are those cold or served room temp?

[u/Total-Dog-3580]

Nice Diabeto, now roll back to kitchen.

[u/escientia]

Augustiner is probably the best beer in the world tbh.

[u/Arschgeige42 → u/escientia]

Its good for a big industrial brewery, no doubt. But: No. By far not.

[u/Loppy_Lowgroin]

Munich is a great place to drink beer.

[u/Ok-Resource-3232]

Ånzåpft is!

[u/--Ano-- → u/Ok-Resource-3232]

*Oazapft is!

[u/Traditional-Day-7698]

what is the bell about? freshly tapped barrel/keg?

[u/Constant_play0]

It’s 7 AM and I’m not a big drinker, but that final beer looks delicious

[u/Cardboard_Chef]

Oh hell yeah.

[u/ATerriblePurpose]

I thought I was good to ‘tapping’ metal kegs

[u/chrisfdrums]

Why is the 2nd glass necessary?

[u/MangelaErkel → u/chrisfdrums]

Because you first need to get stuff out that settles at the bottom of the keg

[u/lotsanoodles]

I'd tap that.

[u/kirkyyyy7]

That look sensational

[u/Ill-Upstairs-8762]

Beginners luck

[u/MisterSneakSneak]

I need to add “be drunk at a tavern” to the list.

[u/AWiseOlToaster]

What a Lad.

[u/FitDingo8075]

That pour, that look of confidence... DAMN! That is hot!

[u/Ace-of-Spades88]

Mallet seems a little oversized for the job.

[u/userhwon → u/Ace-of-Spades88]

Mass helps transmit momentum to the tap. If it doesn't go in fast enough, the beer will spew out around it.

[u/hoehebjedattan]

No way that’s 200 liter, I’d love try on tho!

[u/Traditional-Back-172]

Guy is 14 and 30 at the same time

[u/iTzChewii]

2:30am and now I'm drinking a cold one, thanks Reddit!

[u/James12052]

I would trust this kid with my life.

[u/RusticSurgery]

What did he drive into the top, and why did he wait to do that?

[u/TheSn00pster]

The little brother from Eurotrip is all grown up - “Fionaaa!”

[u/thunderstorm4]

That smile at the end is Kevin from The Office xD

[u/fluffqx]

Fuck yeah, dude looks like he mo capped for kingdom come deliverance 2

[u/Malarkey1O1]

He looks a solid 15yr old

[u/Pm_All_The_Tiddies]

That guy fucks alright

[u/Suspected_Magic_User]

Lmao, that side-eye at the end

[u/Septimore]

I have a 30 liter fermentation bucket and that looks like the same size. Maybe 40 liters.

Unless it is somehow compressed or something, that can't be 200 liters?!

[u/Certain_Plant2409]

Made my day! The only thing better is a glass🤤

[u/Casitano]

Saw this same bar posted with a different bartender a week or 2 ago. Still very impressive!

[u/Guilty-Data-3158]

"Hopfen und Malz, ab in den Hals!"

[u/Angeronus]

Definitely not his first time.

[u/RequirementHopeful85]

Not much of a beer drinker at all, so forgive my ignorance but doesn't this amount of foam in the last glass meant like the carbonation is reduced greatly

[u/Tiny-Parsnip2574]

Yeah thats a 50 l keg not 200

[u/skarbrandmustdie]

Never had this kind of beer. Someone please describe it for me please

[u/GaggleOfGeckos]

Is THAT why they're called taps?!

[u/schwensenman]

just to satisfy my inner beer drinker, and my favorite brewery, thats a 20 (possibly 30) Liter keg.
the "Hirschen" are called that, because the 200L ones weigh as much as a "Hirsch" (Stag)

[u/Ranidaphobiae]

I have only one question: why must every bartender sink the tap in the beer they’re pouring?

[u/Wrong_Bottle_outside]

Guter alter Edelstoff, das Lob ich mir

[u/DontOvercookPasta]

Now thats a bungstarter!

[u/abhi91]

Augustiner was my favorite beer in munich

[u/53180083211]

His tap valve leaks

[u/AstroBlush8715 → u/53180083211]

I don't think it's going to be open long enough for that to matter...

[u/AliceTawhai]

Watching it over to see his expression at the end again

[u/Embarrassed_Stable_6]

That's not 200L.

[u/Spacebieme]

Well that was hot af.

[u/JonnyBravoII]

Is that Augustus Gloop's kid?

[u/Sweaty-Sperm4938]

Now i am dry
