never went to Germany much less Oktoberfest but kind of knew about it through the game i played.The first time I was in Munich (16 years ago) I was surprised to see ladies dressed like that in the street. I always thought it was an Oktoberfest thing. Later I discovered it was like the standard waitress uniform in typical Bavarian restaurants.
A fellow Utahn! Nice!!I didn't know Utah was exporting our beer to Germany for Oktoberfest.
I imagine you could assemble quite an impressive collection of mini-bottles from Utah...Oklahoma can be pretty weak, too - thank God I don't live there, either! Been a hospitality exec for a couple of decades, and Utah has always been a rotten LBW market. Of course, one of the top 10 most degenerate drunks I've ever worked with was a Mormon straight from BYU. He could get damned embarrassing at conferences.
It occurs to me that you could brew up some Coffee Porter/Coffee Stout with that 18% beer and some Very Strong Coffee-1350 that would leave someone both very buzzed and wide awake for about 72 hours straight...The first time I was in Munich (16 years ago) I was surprised to see ladies dressed like that in the street.

German beer range from 2.5% ABV to a whopping 18%. For Oktoberfest (according to Wikipedia) a minimum of 6% is needed to be certified beer for the festival (among other things, like being brewed within Munich city limits). That would mean 1 liter of the weakest beer would have the same alcohol as 5 30ml whisky shots! For a lightweight like Daphne that would mean drunkness!!
The age old joke: Why is American beer so much like having sex on a canoe? Answer: Because it's fucking close to water.A fellow Utahn! Nice!!
(Utah = weak beer + lotsa quirky microbreweries)
Ah! One of Monty Pythons best! Of course, they where posing as Australians when they did that joke so it falls a little flatThe age old joke: Why is American beer so much like having sex on a canoe? Answer: Because it's fucking close to water.
I was in Ghent in the house of the 700 beers some years ago. 111 beers sound a bit noobish.TropecitaGames ; you can go to the Haus der 111 Beers In Munich or Regenburg they have Belgian Monk there as well as Beer from all over the world
Test if that is really that good
That mix can be considered poison in some countries with bad coffee and watery beer. USA I'm not looking at you!!It occurs to me that you could brew up some Coffee Porter/Coffee Stout with that 18% beer and some Very Strong Coffee-1350 that would leave someone both very buzzed and wide awake for about 72 hours straight...

An Spanish humorist went further and did an entire monologue about the existence of American beer.The age old joke: Why is American beer so much like having sex on a canoe? Answer: Because it's fucking close to water.
Porter, Stout and coffee: three beautiful words.It occurs to me that you could brew up some Coffee Porter/Coffee Stout with that 18% beer and some Very Strong Coffee-1350 that would leave someone both very buzzed and wide awake for about 72 hours straight...

Much of it, yes. I don't drink that stuff. Been fortunate to have some good "micro" breweries grow up in my area that make some pretty nice stuff. Sadly, they almost all have the "IPA" infatuation as well. I've had a couple of decent IPAs, but since it became the "everybody and their brother is using their bong water and old socks to brew one" coming out of the grunge era, they've become really overdone and lacking in decent flavor. Besides, I prefer my beer about the same color as my coffee.The age old joke: Why is American beer so much like having sex on a canoe? Answer: Because it's fucking close to water.
Personally i'm lager guy mostly when i drink beer, Germans make really good lager and it's easy to buy in Europe. Or perhaps good stout if it's available. Though mostly i prefer gin based drinks.Much of it, yes. I don't drink that stuff. Been fortunate to have some good "micro" breweries grow up in my area that make some pretty nice stuff.

Someone has good fucking taste in coffee.

Hot tea is for when my sinuses are bothering me - though I'll accept Irish Breakfast if you simply don't have coffee; sweet iced tea is for supper (it's a Texas/Southern thing); strong coffee is for the morning.Steps on making yourself good coffee. Step 1: Think about making yourself coffee and then instead make some lovely tea for yourself. The End.
