Yeah I should have clarified a bit.

I guess my point was my tongue was missing out on what your tongue was catching, even a small thing like water used can make a difference.

There is a thing around here in the Mid Atlantic about NYc baked bread is very different and much better tasting than bread from other regions.

It is because (theoretically) NYC and some of Northern NJ is supplied by the Catskill regions, clean water that originates as snowmelt, and not land runoff. Perhaps it is a unique mineral composition but the water really makes it better.

Following the same recipe in LA would not net the same results.

Ok it is pizza but not beer, my point is (after much meandering) no matter the recipe, the ingredients used make the difference.

I would be willing to bet the Berlin version is different than what they sell the Dutch. Much like Canadian Molson is different than what they sell to us Yanks. (Though I do enjoy the occasional road trip to Montreal, I know what you Canucks got up there, sick bastards!

)

Weak pisswasser to the yanks, drunk off a 6 pack to the natives.

Of the German Bier's I'd rate Paulaner Dunkel as one of the better brews.

Becks is for yuppie wankers.

The beer that's most impressed me in the last few weeks is this one:

Very tasty.

You can stick your Foster's jokes where the sun don't shine 'cos you can't even buy that pisswasser over here anymore. Sold it to the Yanks and Poms who lap it up by all accounts.

You can never go wrong with a good German Dunkel.

My stepfather likes Krombacher he tried it once because his name is Krombach
and a German immigrant told him about Krombacher.It is fairly good you can buy it sometimes
in the US.There was this little town a few miles away from where I was stationed in Germany
the town was called Otterbach if I ever win the lottery(which will be never because I do not play)
I am going to start a brewery there and name it Otterbacher.

It seemed too weak to be an extraterrestrial beer anyway.

I don't understand. We're talking about beer in this thread, not Foster's.

Says someone who doesn't drink beer and never had a Foster's.

Those Prussians didnt even have Beerglasses in proper sizes!

What they call Beerglass we call toothbrush glass. Shocking!

Well at least us Prussians can speak proper German.

Ah, been many years since I was stationed in Germany. I really missed the beer, schnitzel, and brats. Bitburger was my favorite pils and Konig Ludwig dunkel my favorite dark beer.

I have yet to find any German restaurant here in the States that can match the awesome food and drink I experienced in Germany.

Becks.. just thinking about it makes me shudder. Another beer I cannot stand Kolsch.. the piss they brew and sell in Cologne as beer. IMHO it is as bad as Bud or Coors Here in the states I drink Yengling (good "bang" for the buck), Sam Adams and when I can find it, Pilsener Urquell, which I think is still one of the best beers overall.
