    Both of those are available at grocery stores where I’m at in Texas. I’m a simple man though, I typically go for Becks or Spaten Premium at the store. Helles lagers are pretty popular microbrews where I’m at, and we also have Celis White, which is pretty exceptional

      My take on Becks is that the correct answer to the question “would you like to have a Becks” is “no”.

      Yep, you can find them from some grocery stores, but the thing about these beers is how they need to be consumed fresh. From the tap. From a one liter mug. The bottled versions even in Germany are not as good, especially if consumed outside of Bavaria. And then of course there are all these hundreds of small breweries in northern Bavaria that are producing amazing drinks that are impossible to source even in other parts of Germany.

      With all the respect for American beer industry, Germany is far ahead of everybody else in here. And a few spots in the northern Bavaria are far ahead of everybody else in Germany. It’s lager, but it’s hard to describe why it’s so good. Fresh, full bodied taste. I miss that.
