*lager, obviously
Out of interest, can you get real ale in Germany? I mean the English version, not some lagerised version.

I've never actually seen real ale outside of England. You can find bars in NY and Canada that claim to serve bitter but it's all carbonated and served cold. They seem to think if you add more hops to the brewing process it ceases to be lager, bizarrely.
