My grandfather occasionally drank Schaefer,
but my great uncles drank German beers exclusively.
They were from Germany, you see.

When I returned to the US in 1972 after a year living in Germany, I enjoyed fried chicken, hamburgers and burritos, which were unavailable over there, but I had a hard time getting used to American beer. The best German beer available in this country at the time was Löwenbräu--and I quickly learned to say it the American way (low-in-brow).

To me, most American beers were insipid. In 1973, Tuborg, a Danish import, appeared in the US. However, the advertisers actually boasted that it was "brewed light for American tastes," aka watered down.

Today, my favorite German beer is Köstritzer, an East German brew that somehow survived Communism.

”The beer to have, when you’re having more than one.”

Lots of Germanic volks relocated to Mexico prior to The Great War.

Mexico got good beer and oompah oompah oompahpah music in the bargain.
