it is very hard to keep booze away from a drunk. Hell the Carlyle group had to have dubya marry a hermaphrodite to keep it away from him:evilgrin:

I love Hefeweizen too. My favorites are Maisel Waisse and Weihestephaner, although I can't get the Maisel Waisse locally anymore. The store that carried it dropped it. They do still carry the Weihestephaner, but man oh man is it expensive. $8.17 per six pack. :(

9. Try either an Opitmator or Salvator next time. |
|
Any Pilsner fails by comparison.

10. Funny: many "German" beers are nonexistent in Germany |
|
And nothing against Pils; maybe not always the style of choice, but often.

12. And I should have said: almost nonexistent |

:hi:
But it's true: many brands are export-only (not meaning the style ;-) export).

13. You are not in Bavaria, are you? |
|
Salvator, made by Paulaner, is common in Augsburg. Optimator less so, but we did get Loewenbraeu's Doppelbock, Triumphator. Of course, comparing a Pils to a Doppelbock is comparing apples and pears.

Salvator isn't uncommon here; Optimator is very much so. You'd have to go to a special beer store to get it.

18. I wasn't (only) reffering to the brands you mentioned |

Edited on Mon Jul-28-03 07:43 PM by Kellanved
For example: Ayinger mentioned elsewhere in this thread: I haven't even heard of that one here. I have read the name for the first time a minute ago.

19. German beers in America. |
|
Edited on Mon Jul-28-03 08:50 PM by TheBigGuy
I can get some specialty German beers here...like a brand of "kolsch", Tucher from Nuremberg, Bitburger, and also a beer from Bamberg. I even saw Berliner Kindl here once.
Yet some regional "big names" like Henninger, Licher, Binding, are not available here in the USA.

26. Ah, there's the rub. They're not brands, they're types. |
|
It, of course, depends on where one is, but, esp. in the south of Germany, they're usually easy to find.

27. I'd call my doppelbock... |
|
Urinator because if you drink a bunch you'll have to pee. Violator would also be good because after a few liters of doppelbock one could find themselves thouroughly ravished by the alcohol.

"Yes, it says LITE, dammit! It must make you lose weight! L-I-T-E! It's right there on the bottle! No, it never occured to me that it is spelled differently than LIGHT. That must just be a more hip way to spell it, like 'Drive-Thru.' Dammit, I'm going to drink a case tonight...I'll be down to a 30 inch waste by tomorrow!"
