I was in Germany in 1962,Loved it,especially the Veener Schnitzel und katafooles,mit a flip top bier.and the strudel, for the uninitiated that's veal cutlet,with fried potatoes,and a beer with the metal fastener,to hold the top on the beer. and a kinda pastry, for desert.
All local beer there in 1956 when I was there was in those liter bottles with those fasteners and I learned then that even Lowenbrau beer for sale in the US tasted like warmed over piss while what they brewed for sale in Germany was really good stuff. I could only consume three liters of that stuff and at that point knew exactly the point I was going to get sick.
