The same goes for all the german pilsners I drink. I can go on base and get the exported version and it sucks. Go off base, and its wonderful.
And thats the great american conspiracy of beer...
Trust me... Germany has a lot to offer in regards to great drinkable beer... It will blow you away what you are missing when you try a few pints...
As for German Pilsners... oh yea... My brother brought me back a growler of Hofbrewhaus (sp) Dark lager.......... I nearly cried when i drank it... thats how great it was
