Rofl.. I stumbled over Wikipedia Shandy article. Fist I admit the English got use for their beer as well, but the writers of that article got only on third of the Names we use in German and its funny what they don't know. Monkey-Beer or by German name "Bannaenweizen" as an example Weizenbeer 50%+ Bananajuce 50% has gotten popular in the last 20 years /especially by students of the higher classes, and not to mention the we did honey into our beer in our drinking horns as well, witch is historically and scientifically proved back to god knows. It should be known that for most Germans, beer equals liquid bread. What the author of this article not has covered up in translation from the German side is, would give you the shiver what names we give to our mixed beer. More examples Ok: BMW 50% Pils Beer & 50% Mineral water also call in some region "Schneewitchen" aka Snow White, "Gummi-Bier" in English terms would be "Rubber-Beer", Beer+Energy drink, in some regions Diesel (beer and cola) is called "Moorwasser" in English translated "Bog water"......I could go on for a while but I can't wipe that smile in my face that is starting to hurt too much.......
