conveyorguy: do they have Stella Artois there...or at least ST. Pauli Girl ? (asking for a friend)
Nope - we stick to good local beer!
The former is Belgian - not an option here.
Never heard about the latter - sounded like Hamburg beer - it's (northern) German, as I learned, from Becks Brewery in Bremen, but mostly for export.
An online beer tester awarded it only 5 of 10 points and put it in the class of cheap German beer. Not good for the German market, obviously very popular in America. The Dirndl Girl in display points to southern Germany, feeding foreign misconceptions...
To be clear: I prefer Franconian beer, small local brands. This region has 300 breweries, and some pubs in Nuremberg sell ten of them - yummy!
BTW, I didn't get what gonfission might have meant to say:
?Careful about benevolence, finish what?
