Had many a red eye in West Virginia when all you could get was 3.2 Iron City.
Just add a raw egg for hang-over recovery.

@izzythepush,
I'm sure they'd fetch a pretty penny on EBay if you're so inclined. ;D

The guy wanted to sell me the rest of the box for another 50p but they were all crap.

@CalamityJane,
Quote:
Success for Bavarian brewers: for the first time ever in 2014 they produced more beer than their rivals in North Rhine-Westphalia. The demand for their beer is ever growing, particularly from abroad.


That news should please CJ and Thomas.

Quote:
The approximately 600 breweries in Bavaria produce some 40 different types of beer and 4,000 brand specialties.
Source for above quotes

We've got here in Northrhine-Westphalia only 130 breweries.
But one of the breweries in the closest neighbourhood ("Warsteiner") doesn't only own a Bavarian brewery but has the largest beer glass of that brewery in their showroom (Ätschi-bätschi, CJ!)

@Walter Hinteler,
At least once per week, this brewery sends a train to Bavaria (the local railway company has the engine even in brewery colours), with good Westphalian beer. On the way back, the train carries the empty barrels and bottles, and hops.

@Walter Hinteler,
Yeah, that's the "Trostpflaster" for living in North-Rhine-Westphalia.

@CalamityJane,
I just tried to say "Trostpflaster".
I sprained my tongue.

@CalamityJane,
For all who have these difficulties, there's a beer against it:
the "Fourteen Holy Helpers' Beer helper in time of need drink"

A regional brewery in Quedlinburg, in the Harz mountains, produces two beers with extraordinary names, even for Germans:
Pubarschknall ("Pooparsebang") a brown beer, and Knuttenforz ("knout fart"), a black beer.

http://i59.tinypic.com/2ppezqc.jpg

The reason for those names: the beer was delivered in open barrels ("containers") on a regular basis and routine tours by carriages to the customers/pubs. It wasn't 'ripe', had to be bottled or stored in proper, closed barrels for some time.
The coachmen announced the arrival by making loud bangs with their whips.
Some thirsty persons drank the beer as soon as they got it ... getting later some louder results ...

It's different today - even some A2K'ers noticed that (the beers are kind of 'usual', nothing extraordinary)
