Uh, Oh! Which are good German beers and which are bad German beers? We
could have a good German vs German argument here!

My dear Grandfather and his family from Amana Iowa always told me any
brown beer that could hold a spoon upright in the frothy head had a
good chance of being a good german beer.
Ah! That sounds like a double bock I used to like! Yummy indeed! I'd be more
specific but I can't spell German even close to correctly. It was a type of
Monk's House Brew with a goat on the lable. Drank a lot of that at one time.
Kind of the same viscosity as motor oil.

good german liked qualified!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I admit to not being German good or bad and am certainly not expert on the
subject, but I seem to like the Northern beers.... like Dortmunder Union and
Ritterbrau.

I must watch for any possible debate as well. I must confess to hoping for a
debate as I wish to learn too. Beer is good food!
