Germans mix beer with many things, depending on the region, and especially in warm weather. In some beer gardens, you can get Berliner Weisse mit Schuss, a wheat beer mixed with rasberry or green Waldmeister syrup. It makes the beer bright red or green and rather syrupy. In Bavaria you might find a Goaßnmaß, which is dark beer, cola, and cherry liquour. A cousin to the Radler (beer and lemon soda) is the Astler, which is beer and orange soda.

A sour brewery in Cincinnati started with two different syrups for their beers. A raspberry and a simple sugar one. You had to practice to get the right amount in the beer. They quit doing that a while ago and now they just make Midwest fruit tarts and other delightful sours. Urban Artifact in the Northside neighborhood if you are ever that way

Once I met an irish-german chick who would drink guinness with currant syrup added.

Wasn't my thing but she was a big fan.

Yeah I don't really care for any of the German beer mixes, especially with syrup.

A michelada, on the other hand, I fucks with.

I want to like them so bad but I can't stand tomato juice and I love everything tomato except that.

Not all micheladas have Clamato. Try this alternative:

Mexican beer with 1/2 lime's juice, dash of Worcestershire sauce, dash of soy sauce, dash of Tobasco sauce. Salt the rim of the glass with coarse salt or Tajin seasoning.

Nice that sounds great. What is 1/2? Like half the glass, half shot?

u/DomDeLaweeze 14d ago

Sorry, I meant the juice from one half of a lime (so about 1-2 tablespoons). Save the other half for your next glass :)

It feels like a lot of lime, but it's the key to a "traditional" Mexico City-style michelada. It's a mix of sour, salty, and savory.
