Czechs, Germans and Beer

Che Guevara??
The Czech Republic is the number one country in consumption of Beer! Germany is number two and Ireland is number three. But they also like their hard liquor. And jeagermeister and schnapps are omnipresent.

The most popular beer in Prague is Pilsner Urquell, which has a rich creamy head. Almost like beer mit schlagg (beer with cream). OK, I made that one up.

During the Oktoberfests and other assorted beer and wurst festivals, the girls wear Dirndl dresses and the men wear lederhosen, which are leather shorts with suspenders. Real cool. Not.

"Dirndls 'R' Us!"
Also for sale in Bamberg, ridiculous hats for men.

Berger in German means citizen. Ham burger means citizen who eats pork. And that is just about everybody!

Your Imaginary Jet Lagged friend,
