I am surprised that German beer is that popular in England.

Try Berliner Weiße. It is Hefebier (Weißbier) with rasberry.

I don't know. Tuborg? Hoegaarden? I'm not a beer aficionado.

I don't think it's that popular, the only one I've seen sold in quite a few places is Becks. I just go looking for all the German beer :biggrin:

I referred to the answers in the thread. that is why I thought it must be popular. but I would never ask for a German beer in a pub. :smile:

they would kick me out off it.

really? You never got into trouble because of that?

maybe there is a difference between a native speaker asking for German beer or a foreigner asking for it. possibility one can be positive because you are open-minded and try different things. but possibility two is negatively connotated as the nasty German, refusing to adapt or accept different culture.

No, I just usually get asked if I'm German :biggrin:

That's true, but I think it also shows that you're aware of your own culture. I know that I'm very British (not when it comes to beer though).

Thankfully not the Queen Mum!

Erdinger, or any other nice weissbier, don't mind a nice pint of mythos in the sun as well.

Cool. Now you know. :smile:

my personal social studies about Britishness will continue this summer.

see, the answer above also included German beer. How could they? high treason. :biggrin:

I vote for Guiness just because people tend to like things they don´t get here a lot more.

oh, stupid me, I recognised a mistake in my questionary. they don´t shake hands. :banghead:

oh wow. amazing. there are dancing bunnies among the smilies. :bunny:

I want my bunnies to dance, too. No more food if the refuse dancing. :smile:

Hard to compare, as they serve entirely different functions. You wouldn't sit in a beer garden on a sunny day drinking a shot of single malt would you?
