Comments on: German beer sales down 2.9% http://www.realbeer.com/blog/?p=739 What part of beer don't you understand?

And I'm not sure about the BitBurger reference, it's not as bad as a Bud! Then again I haven't been there for almost 10 years, so I can't be sure. Basically, their craft beer industry really needs to put it in gear! If they can fix the laws for VW then surely another national icon like beer can be supported.

It's like Bitburger threw up on the entire country. I'll tell you why beer sales are down. There are only two kinds of beer abailable. Heviwisen, wich is fine, and Bitburger. That's right not pils but Bitburger. Even the locals will contest that Bitburger is awful even for a bitter German beer. The company has gone to ridiculous lengths to make sure you know who they are. There is not one single pub in the country that does not sell Bittburger not to mention every ash tray, glass, and neon sign you will see in the country, you geussed it, Bittburger. I am longing for some good old Shiner Bock right about now. I was here four years ago and you could get a good German pils in any pub. Now it's like swiming in a see of Natie Light. I hope the German people wake up before it's too late and they change the name of the country to Bitburgerland. Well I am currently here in Germany with the military and let me tell you it’s a joke.

Let's all pledge to increase our consumption of German beer by six bottles a week. Let every day feel like Oktoberfest! We can help get the fine German brewers through this slump. I'll do my part. Will you do yours? Forget war bonds. Buy beer! I think it’s time for my fellow Americans and me to revive and modernize the Marshall Plan.
