BEER WE GO Germans fear we are going to drink them dry By Jeremy Armstrong

ENGLAND's massive army of World Cup fans is drinking Germany dry, it emerged yesterday.

Breweries warned beer could run out before the final because of huge demand from our supporters.

In Nuremberg, organisers revealed 70,000 England fans who flooded the city drank 1.2MILLION pints of beer - an average of 17 pints each.

As they should.

I'll look.

The Belgians are light years ahead of the Germans (and everyone else) when it comes to brewing the best beer.

Depends on what your looking for.

Germans mostly brew wet lager beer for hot days.

Belgians mostly brew chewey barly wine for wet nasty weather.

The English mostly brew brown ale good on a cold foggy day.

It can all be good. But drinking a sprout beer in the heat would'nt be good.

Many Belgian beers are an acquired taste. I enjoy them, but for day to day consumption, I'll take the Germans.

An "oh beer me," ping.

LOL--Justifiable self-defense.

Hey, now. Be nice.

Some FReepers work at Coors.

Did this actually happen? If so, priceless.

If you are talking about the big commercial breweries I have to agree (and I used to work for Anheuser-Busch), but a lot of the microbreweries out there make some really good stuff.

There really are a lot of good micro brews in the US.

Looks like they might host a Superbowl though........

Yeah, we've done that before. (We've never been in one, however...) But we won't have hordes of Brits there for the Super Bowl hogging and plundering all of our beer.

That could start the Revolutionary War all over again.

The Houston Beer Party?

Where is it from? I think it is sold at my local Class VI store.

More Breaking News. Try not to cry, I dare all of you.

I love this bit of British chauvinism by the Mirror:

Breweries warned beer could run out before the final because of huge demand from our supporters.

Germany's running out of beer because the Brit futbol fans drink so much of it.

Riiiight. ;OP

I LOVE Looter Guy.

Trouble in the Bier Garten!!!

Czech pilsner brewed in Mexico.

[Old Student]

I'm stealing your tag line. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it yet, but I'm stealing it anyway!

[Petronski]

That's like the ocean running out of water.

Hey Costanza, the ocean called, they're running out of shrimp.

Oh yeah, well the jerk store called, and they're running out of you!
