Bier

In Germany Beer is classified as a food group. Almost every town brews its own signature brew. There are more than 60 different beer styles in Germany.  Germans are very conscious of distinct beer styles. When they order a beer, they rarely ask for it by its brand name. Rather they order beer by its style designation, asking for a Pils, an Alt, a Kölsch, a Weissbier, a Helles or a Dunkel, for instance. I prefer Pils or Kölsch. When in Germany you have to drink beer. When you combine beer with traditional German fare I wonder why Sumo wrestlers haven't caught onto German cuisine.
