But the corollary to this is not so much that German beer is no good, rather that the wine is so bad. I don't think I've ever tasted one that I like (Reisling mainly) and, a case of once bitten - twice shy, would not dream of buying it anymore. I don't know anyone over here who would offer one a German wine.

Yes, we do have some very good beers. On the lager side, I don't know where the following come from:

Starapromen, Leffe,

but I like them.
