    But I agree that Weissbier is not one of them.

    Off topic: Weissbier is just wheat beer, of which there are legions, not just in Bavaria, but if you want a good one, of which there are a select few, you would have to go to Bavaria to get it, as well as being a little educated on who brews what.

    There are more Types of beer in Bavaria than most other places have breweries. Even the hyper critical should be able to find beer they like, or stay damn drunk for a few days trying.

    Just the same, judging all German beer by some unknown weissbier is like judging all beer to taste like Miller Lite.

    So Japan is still a militaristic feudal state ruled by Lord Voldemort. Why no just nuke the suckers?

    I went through all the beers they offered in pubs in Berlin.

    I was disappointed. There was one drinkable, but I can't remember its name.... "Dunkel" something.

    Going to Berlin to drink beer is like going to Stockholm to find good Mexican food.

    It is a crap shoot and the locals are not help at all in knowing what is good or bad.

    Prussians are to beer what American Bureaucracy is to efficiency.

    I don’t know what Brandenburg does well. There must be something.

    Most larger beers have been taken over by Heinekens, or some of the American Breweries. The results are disappointingly obvious.

    Next time you go for Beer try Munich. The Airport is also very good. I don’t think you found that great in Berlin either.

    Better luck next time.

    Drinking beer wasn't the purpose of the trip. It's just something that always happens when I'm travelling...

    Here's an idea....why not invite Chinese and Japanese leaders to a big party and serve.....Bavarian beer

    The flow of hate comes while China is building up its military, leaving its neighbors on edge. Beijing will spend $148 billion on its military this year, up from $139 billion in 2013. It launched its first aircraft carrier in 2012, and is building a fleet of submarines that it hopes will outnumber the American fleet.
    Not much good is going to come from this.....
