    I'll give the Ambasador props for trying not to offend his host. Unless your name is @evenflow, the correct response to such an offer is "fuck no!" But diplomacy requires an effort to accommodate local custom and tradition. Poor fellow, I can only imagine how he struggled not to spit it out. That shit is just rancid.

    Jason Jones should've picked a stronger, better American brew to share with the German Ambassador!

    I contest the use of the word "Beer" in the thread title. :dendroica:

    And I contest the one German who doesn't drink taking on airs about American beer.

    If you don't swear like a mother-fucking sailor in this thread then there's something wrong with you.

    Writing "Bud Light Limarita" counts as swearing.

    It technically isn't obligatory, but they will try to ban you if you don't. Don't worry though, they haven't figured out how.

    You better. They use "The Four Horsemen" as a euphemism.

    Surely one of Arrogant Bastards brews would have been more appropriate? :diacanu:
