pils in germany is no good...that's like the 'trendy' drink that everyone drinks in clubs and stuff, and i can only drink it when i'm already half pissed, otherwise i can't really stand it, it's not too bad, but there's definately better options in my opinion.
And the other thing is that pretty much every city has their own beers, like i'm in ingolstadt which is about 100,000 people or so, and they have 3 local breweries...and it's pretty much the same whereever you go...so german beer depends a lot on where you actually are. All i can say is that bavarian beer sits well with me. And Franziskaner is definately one of bavaria's nicer beers, it originates from monks who started brewing beer while fasting during lent afterall to break up the boredom afterall !
