Is this German beer any good?

You can get a good beer in any country, but you have to know where to look. In the USA, you need to go to the microbreweries.

This is one of my favorite places. The Steelgaarden Wit is simply to die for.

Right on. In fact you can find great beer in any city, even, you just need to find a brewpub with the right selection. People need to throw the idea that America somehow sucks at beer - so much good stuff everywhere!
European mass-market beer is just as terrible as its US equivalent BTW

Weißbier with Banajuice? In some places in Upper bavaria you would be stoned for such heinous crime!!
Btw it's called Weißbier and not Weizenbier!!

And if you have the slightest chance to get one of these:

then drink it.
That's the best Weißbier available on this Planet. Everything else is just Bier.

And the best Place to drink Weißbier is at places like this:


Weißbier with Bananajuice, unbelievable!

(I don't know if only the Brits will get that)

It reaches the Micks too

I thought it might, but didn't want to be accused of racism or stereotyping by calling all bog-trotters Micks.

Anyone know where I can get Erdinger Weissbrau retail in the UK? Had some the other day and it's lovely!

That's why I am happy to live in the free state of NRW where we are allowed to do any beer-perversions we like!

The general superiority of the Rhineland, not only over Bavaria but over most of the rest of the world can be seen that our usual glass contains only 0.2 liters.
"Why is a small glass superior?", the unknowingly reader might ask.
Easy answer: When we sit in a pub, especially outside in the summer, we always have a cold brew. The Bavarians, with their big Maß glass, have to sip the stale and warm rest when they don't do speed-drinking.

To my defense, I only said it improves the cheap Weizen, in Lidl-Plörre you can put in crude oil and it would better its taste.

Regarding Karg:
10 points go to Bavaria for still offereing the brew in the glory old bottlle form, a form which fits perfectly into a man's hand - unlike those pansy Eu-bottles...
A minus point though for not having a wooden table on their own when they too the beer pic (obvious photoshop)

Will look out for it - or you can just send me a case, I promise I'll drink the first bottle without banana juice!

The Rhineland general superiority over Bavaria?
Not in this Universe! Saupreiß japanischer!!!
(Hey we have to keep the tradition up)
Well i have to admit that the Kölsch you have up there in NRW is really good beer and therefore the small glasses are ok.
But also remember the former bavarian PM Beckstein who said "5 Steins is not drunk!"
