German Beer List
The following is a list of reccommendable german beers.  This is not comprehensive of all the beers in Germany, just the ones I have tried (there are thousands, in Bavaria every small town usually has a brewery), also I cant remember all the different types I've tried!.  The stars simply represent which beers I find outstanding.  When learning about the different beer types, it is als good to know a little about the brewing process, specifically if a beer is top or bottom fermented (ober- und untergerg�rig).  These two processes dictate what type of beer is brewed, and historcally, where these beers were brewed.

Weizen - I dont like this beer and only drink it if I'm forced to (no other beer around) and I cant exactly say which ones are good.  In Bavaria it is tradition to drink this type of beer in the morning around 10 AM or so with a pretzel and some white sausage.  In this situation I drink the Weizen as well, but only because its tradition : )
