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.

If you are playing soccer, and you are drunk, it is very likely you are at a rugby match.
you mean the river?
no, the one that flows through the town....naturally
So THAT'S WHY MY TEETH WERE ON THE GROUND! AND NO CARD!.........
And it's not even Oktoberfest!
"Can the US breweries help and ship some beer to our business brothers in Germany?"
They could, if they could actually get around to making something resembling beer.
LOL!!!!!..........
Budweiser is brewed in the Czech Republic, in the town of Budwar. It used to be the old Bohemia area. It was never brewed in Germany.
FedExes out of St Louis and Milwaukee for them...
Budweiser is sponsoring the Cup, and is the only beer available inside the stadiums. Part of the problem is that folks are refusing to drink it, or (clearly) they need to get drunk to do so.
If I remember right, there are very few beers in America that can get past their strict beer laws. If I remember right Sam Adams is there, thoguh different than here(better quality over there).
Yes, but it's sold in Germany and other EU countries. They're dang near like states now...........
LOL! Who peed in your Heinie?
I saw an article in the UK press a day or two ago that claimed city officials in Berlin are afraid their trees are dying because so many fans are watering them.
"Part of the problem is that folks are refusing to drink it, or (clearly) they need to get drunk to do so."
Funny. Kinda like taking coals to Newcastle, I guess.
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.
Fine but all the shrubbery seems to be dying.
(Then, when you have found the shrubbery, you must cut down the mightiest tree in the forest... Wiiiiiithh.... A HERRING!)
