Alas, I have never experienced a thing like this myself - I found it on Youtube, got goosebumps and felt like I had to share it. The supporters of my local soccer club Hertha BSC Berlin aren't that imaginative, their songs are quite dull to say the least. And a Olympic Stadium Berlin with 80k seats and only 35k fans to fill them doesn't help in this matter. I just love how the two groups in the video animate each other to sing even louder.

I think the beer which is closest to american beer is "Kölsch". Beside of Weissbier I like it very much too and you can drink a lot of it without getting drunk.

Yeah, now that you say it - that's quite true. As my parents are of rhenisch (ha - looked that word up - "rheinisch") origin, I've also quite a lot of occasions to get me some Früh Kölsch. I do like it a lot, but more as a seldom special - I think it would get dull after some weeks. I like my little variations.
Now - my cousins are from Augsburg and every Christmas they bring some crates of "Helles" - that's great stuff. Would that I could get it here in Berlin.
Now, to spin the discourse to a new subject - do you guys have some local specialities of the art of brewing that we should know?
As I'm from Berlin, theres Berliner Weisse (Berlin's Whiteness).
And as I found out, theres a Wikipedia article - on the english version even.

Alas, I don't think anyone of you will be able to get some into his hands - as it isn't even exported around Germany any more. Quite a shame, as I like it a lot on hot summer days.
