How they drink it.

[Scott Robert Anderson]

While I was in Europe in June, I visited a friend who lives in Essen, in
northern West Germany. Of course he took me to a local bierstube to sample the
local waters, brewed on the premises. It was served in rather small glasses,
about 7 oz. or so (1/5 liter). My friend commented that the size of the
glass increases the further south one goes in Germany, as I subsequently
verified in Munich, where they had 17 oz. (1/2 liter) glasses. He then
told the following story:

A fellow from Bavaria came to northern Germany to visit relatives. While
there, he decided to go out and get a beer, and was served one of these small
glasses. At first he didn't quite know what to make of it, but then he picked
up the glass and drank its contents in one gulp. He then turned to the waiter
and exclaimed, "That was good! I'll have one of these!"
