Because we live in Germany Kevin and I need to become better educated about beer, schnell!* For months entering the beer store created panic: with so many choices how do we even know where to begin?Initially our plan was to mix up cases with one or two bottles of lots of different brands. This has lead to some great evenings, but has done nothing to improve our knowledge, or – for that matter – even helped us remember what we liked.
Our revised plan is to keep drinking lots of different beers, but also to blog about them. Starting today, Saturday’s posts will be “Beer School.” Here I will catalog different beer that we’ve tried and tracked our favorites. For the mid-term and final project, I’ll set up a poll where readers can vote to help us narrow down the best beer ever.
Please post comments with new beers to try. With over 1,300 breweries in Germany alone, your suggestions for our next shopping trip will make the process a lot easier.
* Schnell is "fast" in German.

Hi Erin and Kevin, although my valued colleagues are probably much more expert and experienced in the beer business than I am - but here are my recommendations:
The best beer in this world is "Licher Bier" - mere coincidence that it comes from the little town Lich in Hessen, just very near to my hometown ;-)
The second best beer is Reissdorf Kölsch. There is nothing which can top Reissdorf Kölsch.
Thanks for your suggestions. I'll add these two to the list and try them next week.
Hi Erin and Kevin,
I would like to suggest Schuhmacher Alt (www.schumacher-alt.de). It perfectly fits to a supper with rye bread - and anything else ;-)
Welcome in Germany
Thomas
Thanks. Schuhmacher Alt has been added to the "to try" list.
