German Beer

It may come as a surprise to everyone reading this, but yes i do occasionally indulge in alcoholic beverages. It may be the fact that I am a college student, go to Penn State, have an entirely Irish and German family tree, or a combination of the three, but whatever the reason for this trip I'm glad that can appreciate a good beer when I come across one. At school the beer scene is Natural Light and if you are really feeling crazy you might splurge on Yeungling. Drinking such a beverage in Germany, though, would be sacrilegious. Everywhere we went we were served different local beers that have between two hundred and three hundred year histories. Many places beer is cheaper than water bottles, although I would recommend equal portions of both, if that's what your into. Much like the bud and bud lights of America, there is a light and dark version of every beer in Germany. The light version of German beer though is still darker than anything available in a domestic beer in the States. After the food and beer that was available in Germany I think I will have to make a trip to Munich and Oktoberfest at some point in the not too distant future.
