- German Beers Make An Impact Worldwide
When you think of Germany there are a number of things that come to mind, but one of the first things is German beer. Although many people presume that a majority of German beer is lager, there are a number of different styles, tastes and stories behind the various beer distributed across the world. - Types Of German Beers And How To Order Them In Germany
German beer - you have to admit, is one of the finest tasting beers you can drink. German breweries are pretty secretive about their "how tos". They all seem to say it's in the water. I'm sure there's some truth to that, but what really gives the beer it's great flavor is the hops which is traded as seriously as grapes for wine makers. - Toasting Tips For A Group And The Two Person Toast
The Group Toast
Drinking to people used to be and still is in many ways the same today as it was done many years ago in Greece. Out of respect, the person performing the toast should stand up, and everybody stands up too. If the person being toasted to is important enough, everybody else must also raise their glasses. If wearing a hat, men should always remove them. While the toast is spoken it is very important to look the person you are toasting to in the eyes. To end the toast, a silent bow or a simple little nod of the head will do. Everyone then sips the wine. - The History Of Toasting
Toasting is the strongest and most formal in Germany, Scandinavia and Eastern European countries.
In France, Italy and Spain the toast is even given German names. In Spain and Italy, to toast is called brindar and came from the German phrase "Ich bring dir" which means "I bring it to you".
