Hi Carol!

MS>> btw: One has to pay attention when ordering a beer here. If you order
MS>> Bier" then you get a Pils in northern Germany (in G*ttingen you still
MS>> a Pils for instance) but order a beer in Bavaria, you might get a whea
MS>> beer.

CS> I have never had a 'wheat beer' as far as I know.

Maybe you have another name for it. But you would remember. The taste is  
quite different. Erdinger and Paulaner are two famous ones.


CS> Then again, I've checked
CS> out many types and only the 'dark ones' are disliked (havent found one yet
CS> that I like and have tried several).

They are okay, but I usually drink only Guinness if I want something  
different than my usual Pils.

MS>> beers if I drink them in succession. Not so long ago I started the
MS>> eve with Becks draught and continued with Becks from the bottle and
MS>> then Flensburger. That was all downhill. :)

CS> Becks?  Common to find in the USA in bottle form.  I can even find that
CS> one in tiny little Sasebo Japan .  I am not sure which
country it comes
CS> from but it's an import.  It's ok enough but I normally get something
CS> else.

Becks is from Germany as far as I know. (btw: Heineken is dutch)
Krombacher is german as well. You should not have any trouble finding that  
as well AFAIK. Well at least in the USA, I don't know about Sasebo :)

Ciao,
Malte!
