h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Great Article!

(What else would we have expected from Bossel, King of Scouts).

There's only one minor correction: I have seen Weizenbier sold in cans. On the other hand, no serious expert would call that brews 'Weizenbier'. Just like wine in cans.

Yes, there *is* wheat beer in cans, and you can't really call it a beer. I contacted the SubEd here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F61011?thread=127761#p1151661 but didn't get around to check whether the changes made it into the entry.. "King of Scouts" ... too much honour! :-)

Wheat beer in cans is like Ale in cans, to much flavour for too poor a commodity. Oh, and it tastes disgusting.
From the cans that is, not the wheat beer itself, which I happen to like a jar or two too many of.

Bossel!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My fav beer is Hoegarden, it is not in your article, why, why, why????????????????

Hey, I didn't mention *any* brand names! Or does Hoegarden represent yet another variety? I mean, I'm willing to *learn*

Oh all right then, it is a brand name, but a very good one. I don't know where you live, but if its near London, then have you tried any of the Bierodromes, they specialise in Belgium beer, a lot of which is wheat beer!!!!!!!!!

They serve big glasses and at big percentages of alcohol, if you can take it, which I can't!!!!!!!!!

Oh, then I'm perhaps closer to the source than to your well. I should have known the name when I was in London for the h2g2 meet!

Hey folks, have you ever tasted real bavarian beer? No? Then hurry up and do it! If you ever come to Germany, theres a little town near Nuremberg called Titting. There they brew the best Weizen around the world. You don't know what you are missing!

I know that you're talking of Gutmann's

And it's already listed in one of the conversations at the Beer Review page A453098 . I took care of that

Belgian beer is the best!!! gotta love those trappist monks!!
