What Germans Do Best
by Jacob Inglebright
No one can compete with the Germans when it comes to beer. For some reason, they have perfected almost everything connected with beer, whether its making beer, selling beer, and of course, consuming beer.
Aside from an industry revolving around beer, I have also learned during all my travels to Germany that its people have developed an entire culture based on beer. I have even heard this seemingly famous quote that is well known among many Germans that goes like this, “ Beer transforms thirst into a very beautiful thing”.
And if you think about it, it really does. I have been to beer gardens in Munich, Berlin, Dresden and Cologne, and in all these German cities I found such a welcoming and lively crowd inside every beer garden I went into. And these are not just locals but the guests at German beer gardens are often composed of a very diverse international crowd.
As many of you would have guessed, I have also witnessed several times the spectacle that is the famous Oktoberfest. The first one I have ever attended was in Berlin and I have to say I was completely blown away by the sheer number of visitors and the tremendous amounts of beer all mixed together during those few but fantastic days.
Forget the fancy cars, advance scientific know-how and the ingenious educational system. When in Germany, do what the Germans do best and discover what the perfect beer experience should really be like.
