This one is about coincidents and 'wheat beer'.

If you don't know what wheat beer is, you should totally remedy that knowledge gap.

Mhm! Having a nice, cold, bavarian 'Weizenbier' while posting on steemit is sure nice. In a mildy interesting coincidence, the bottle cap snapped onto the magnet of my surface book.

I swear, this thing has magnets everywhere.

While I am on the topic, let me tell you about 'Weizenbier', or 'wheat beer'!

It is a bavarian special brew, using large batches of wheat in the brewing process, resulting in a very special tasting kind of top-fermented beer. The very tasty beer is served in special glassses and has an absolutely wonderful bouquet and look.

If you don't live in Europe, you can still might be able to get it. When I was living in LA for some time, I usually got some bottles that were imported by Whole Foods. They were from 'Franziskaner', an ancient brewery in Bavaria. The bottle looks like this:

See, what I mean? :)

Seriously, for bavarians, beer is the equivalent of live culture. This approach to cultural definition certainly has its pitfalls. You might be able to imagine what a beer centric culture does inside closed tents in the late summer heat! Still, this kind of thinking results in superiour quality beer.

Tell me about your favourite beer or your beer culture in the comments!
