Eastexhorn Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 After spending five + years in Germany 1988-2003 I found it hard to drink American beer. I tasted like the 3:2 beer in Okie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tasted like the 3:2 beer in Okie. It seems a lot of folks share your sentiment! I spent a little time in Poland and had some interesting stuff while there. The original Budweiser was pretty stout (I believe it was Budvar) and some of the others I had didn't mess around. If I'm buying beer from that region in the states, it's usually Pilsner Urquell or Bitburger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tejasrulz Posted July 9, 2021 Report Share Posted July 9, 2021 Back when I was working, we had a German co-worker come over to the states to visit us. We took him to a local bar and during that time we talked about Octoberfest and how much beer the Germans drank during it. He told us the reason they were able to drink so much is their beer wasn't as strong as ours. He didn't appear to be joking or so maybe it was just the beer they serve during Octoberfest? BTW, I've never been to Germany or Europe so I wouldn't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drink an American beer afterwards and it will taste sweet. For a good American brewed German beer try Altstadt if you can find it. I think most HEB's carry it.
