And unless I misunderstand, all beer in Germany (like everywhere in the world other than England, I think) is carbonated and therefore would be considered 'lager' by the real ale snobs in England.

Nothing wrong with real ale, of course. Had 3 lovely pints of the stuff down the Jolly Farmer last night. But lager is equally tasty and I don't really get being snobby about beer.
You have me very, very wrong. I wont drink in any of the poncey, real ale pubs for one simple reason. They never sell Guinness, and I only drink Guinness.

If I was a snob I would only drink in Bowes on Fleet Street, Dublin. Wonderful drop in there

I used to like a lager and almost drink myself to death on the beer in Krakow one Christmas. But it plays havoc with my insides these days so I stick to Guinness.
