>>Originally, Pearl was brewed in Germany by Kaiser–Beck Brewery. They still make Becks beer, which I dislike. It may be Germany’s number one export but they can keep it! :)

Groceries in the US and Serbia too. Didn't try the local Beck's, as they don't do the dark, which was decent. The light is neither here nor there - not bad, but nothing to write home about. I guess it's the export version (and I think it's brewed locally, they export the license) which, as was said above, loses in translation.

Even the danish Tuborg, which used to be very popular (and expensive) here in the seventies, is now somewhat bland. Leaves no impression, it's just thin.
