Feeling thirsty

It’s rare to get on the train in the morning and not see Germans drinking stubbies of beer. Think of it like a second breakfast.  The collective German ‘behaviour police’ willingly show outrage at eating on public transport, or picking your nose in public… but drinking beer on the 8.07am to Mehringdamm… seems reasonable.

German beer is subject to very strict laws. The Purity Law Reinheitsgebot which references back to before the 1500’s, states beer can include only; water, barley and hops.  Given how rubbish the Berlin water is… adding hops and barley could only improve it.

But then there’s all the other liquor… what I like most about this liquor is it’s packaging… they are very honest about how you will look or behave once you’ve consumed the contents.
