In this part of the world, Budweiser beer comes from Budweis, and Pilsner comes from Pilsen...

Ha! Well, I would like to personally thank you for the German beer purity law which influences brewers around the world.
My little city just got its first microbrewery last year, and they're making some FINE brews. (1000 Islands Brewery) In the summer, give me a tasty amber or lager. Winter, I love me a stout or porter with other interesting flavours in the mix.

Beer is considered part of a staple diet in most of Germany, Czech, Slovakia, and probably most of Austria and Croatia. Closely monitored by authorities in most of those countries.
I don't know what could be more difficult, to convert a bavarian catholic to protestantism, or to get a bavarian to drink a beer that doesn't conform with the German beer purity law! Beer purity has almost religious status in Bavaria and neighbouring countries.
On the other hand, the south-west of Germany is a premium wine-growing area, and in bordering France beer is quite different. The Kronenbourg brewery in Strasbourg, a former German city, brews-up something with rice or you-name-it added, absolutely revolting to most folks on the other side of the border.

If you ever find yourself in Southwest Missouri, do yourself a favor and stop by Mother's Brewing Taproom. My favorite place in the country... Their Sexual Healing Nitro Milk Stout is just the best thing in the world.

Best beer ever is to mix Natural Ice with Yerba Mate (a high caffeine tea). Mix those two 50/50
Or even just Natural Ice watered down 50% with water and ice cubes. Makes for a cheap and effective drunk that tastes like water pretty much. And drinking the extra water will prevent a hangover the next morning

Paulaner hef and Weihenstephaner hef are my go-to brews (I always have them on hand), but I ain't gonna turn down Ayinger Brauweisse or Smithwick's Red, either.
Germans make awesome beer, and once you develop a taste for it most mass-produced American beers taste like gutter water.
