The Radeberger beer goulash comes from the German city of Radeberg which is located in Saxon and used to be former DDR. In Radeberg they brew one of the finest beer you can imagine since centuries: The Radeberger Pils. This is the beer that is originally used in this recipe.
Crowned the official drink by King Friedrich August III of Saxony, Radeberger, a pilsner style beer brewed near Dresden, is characterized by its dazzling and refreshing taste and has long been enjoyed by German nobility.
Radeberger is also the first brewery in Germany to brew beer exclusively in the Pilsner style and which still exists today. The Saxon recipe beer goulash is using this beer but of course it is not everywhere available in the USA. Alternatively use a mild beer or Pilsner like Pilsner Urquell. The Radeberger beer is distributed at the US East coast. Enjoy this delicious German dish – Happy Cooking!
