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.

Tuborg! I drank a good bit of that stuff in ‘73, in the US Army...Turkey and Europe. Also, Efes Pilsen.
