A few years back I spent some time in Munich and was amazed at how the locals order beer. All alcoholic beverages are ordered by way of the metric system- it's like going to your local watering hole and requesting 12 ounces of budweiser. And the most popular order was the mais- German for liter. Think about the conversion for a second, there are 33 ounces in a liter, that means our sausage loving friends order what's essentially three American beers at a time. Because my mother told me never to insult ones culture I happily joined the locals in this tradition and other than the various run-ins with the law, our bunkmate trying to puke in our luggage, and the inability to see/walk/stand/etc. the results were amazing.
So why not do as the Germans and bring this tradition to the states. Buy your very own Haufbrahaus Mais here for only $15. Or, better yet, why not do even better? Check out this beer glass that holds FIVE beers! Only $20 with shipping.
