On a trip to Germany recently my wife discovered that she liked Dunkel (dark) bier so we brought some back along with some Hefe Weissbier which I like. The reason we like German beer is because I tend to get asophagus burning sensation with British beer and my wife prefers non-alcoholic drinks or she suffers from migrain. It seems that German beer does not cause either problem. Happy days! As for why we bought online: In short we ran out of beer and I immediately Googled online German beers and Beer Hawk came up. Now, I can ensure that the fridge is stocked with good quality German Weissbier and no complaints.
