    Psych. You have my respect and admiration that you work there. I appreciate trying to fill us in to an aspect of how beer and culture intertwine. However, I guess I get my this "combative" nature from my mom's (from FFM area) family, where, for example, my Oma and her 2 sisters could argue simultaneously at full voice a) without seeming to breathe, and 2) hearing and understanding what the other said without ever stopping their arguments.

    Yet also being a language teacher, I see both sides and have an affinity for anytime I hear xenophobic remarks, no matter the country, I feel the need to stand up against oppressors. I have a personal saying: no country has a monopoly on idiots/stupidity/etc.

    I'm a professional ESL teacher and if you'd never told me English wasn't your native language, I wouldn't have had a hard time guessing English isn't your native language. You more than have held your own. Du bist auf Augenhöhe. [You are "on equal footing."] :slight_smile: I'm envious that my German isn't half as good as your English is.

    In my experience at work and traveling in Germany, the Germans are proud of their beer, wine(Reisling), automobiles, chefs knives, and the autobahn, alone with other things. I miss driving on the autobahn. I was on vacation in Bamberg during World Cup 2006, and the change in spirit was eyeopening.

    Just my $0.02.

    I used to run into that exact mindset when drinking that "weird beer." From the old-timers at the bar drinking their BM & C.

    So yeah, there's no exclusivity to ignorance.

    The rampant ignorance regarding lagers among a large majority of self-proclaimed beer advocates is all the proof you need to back up this statement.

    Huh. Whole leaf hops -- what a concept. :wink:

    So, is it "artsy" (Ich auch bin ein Kunstler) to use backwards letters -- a la Russian revolutionary propaganda posters?
