The whole sending of German Beer from Germany... its not worth it due to the diferent Atmospheric pressures that the Beer will undergo durring shipping and the change in Altitudes... the beer will change uncontrollably and what might have been an awesome beer in Germany, will turn into ok beer here in the states... Why do u think Heineken is tastes the way it tastes... If you havnt had a real Heineken in Germany or in parts of Europe you dont know what your missing... Personally i like a good home brewed Heifenwiezen

Petes Wicked Blonde is a great Beer... But having a specialty of sucking ANYTHING down is nothing I would post up on this board

Sam Adams is pretty good. You'd probably like Warsteiner, too.

If you like that, you'd probably really like Abita Purple Haze. It's basically the same thing except with a slight raspberry flavor. I haven't tried the Blonde though. I know I've had Pete's Wicked Ale, but I don't remember if it was the regular or some other flavor they put out.

Try Blue Moon if you like wheat beers with a slight fruit taste

You know the trick to guinness right? You have to "sour" a portion of the beer using Lactus Bacillis or another suitable bacteria.

Abita Purple Haze. I saw that, chose Petes over it. I will have to try it. I am headed to the store tonight, I will pick some up, and if I am not to groggy tomorrow I will let you know what I think.

Not if I ship it parcel post. The it gets shipped. It will take forever to get there, but no flying.
As for the atmmospheric changes. I have shipped a few wines and they tasted fine.
And there are diffrent brewing regulations for the states and europe. I can get a german beer on base (US spec) and it taste diffrent from the exact same beer I get off base. Even though the beer on base was purchased locally.
