Some one in this group has been commenting on how american beers stand up to
the imports.  Well here's my two cents:

	Question:	What is one the more popular imported beers in
			Germany?

	Hint:		The beer is not altered for export.  The beverage
			sent to Germany is identical to that found in the
			brews native land.

			At one time this beer had 1 per-cent of the German
			beer market.  I don't know if this is still the
			case today but it might be.


	Answer:		Budwiser.

Yes, it's true,  Budwiser - an american beer.  When Budwiser was introduced
to the German markek 4-5 years ago it was not expected to do very well.
It surprised every one, includeing Budwiser who initially had trouble
supplying demand.

I don't like Budwiser, but I do like "American" beer in general.  Incidents
like this tend to show that the stuff isn't so bad after all.
