    I’m German. I look down upon these pesants. The best beer is dark and unfiltered. Anything else cannot compare.

      I’ve had your beer while in your country. Much respect and all given the history and contributions to beer over all, but after a week…it got boring.

      I’m happy to be a peasant with never ending variety of styles and variations within styles without being hamstrung by some unimaginative and restrictive laws.

        There’s variety too, you just didn’t get to see it during your stay. The laws are now much more liberal than they used to be.

        But yeah, when you go to a basic place, many German beers have a similar character I would say. Normally there’s just the difference between light, dark, red, weizen and then the mixed ones.

      I never liked beer until I tried it in Germany. I’m here now on vacation, a Radler is probably my preference just for sweet tooth but even the basics go down nicely.

      Dark beer is for winter and autumn. IPA is for spring, summer, and not going off on a sea voyage to the colonies.

      Edit: also when I was in Germany I mostly drank white wine. Germany is the only country that produces palatable white wine, whereas good beer can be had in many countries.

      We should aspire to be friends with all beers. Let us appreciate all styles for the unique qualities they bring to the table.

      Except sours, those are gross
