How to Order a Beer in Fifty Languages

"Without question, the greatest invention in the history ofmankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fineinvention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." --DaveBarry


If there's one universal constant in human society, it has to bealcohol. Rare indeed is the culture that hasn't worked out the tricksyprocess of fermenting and/or distilling some type of vegetable matter-- be it malted barley, potatoes, honey or grape juice -- into a brewcontaining a significant percentage, as the dictionary puts it, of an"organic compound in which a hydroxyl group is bound to a carbon atomof an alkyl or substituted alkyl group." In other words, booze.


Among the mildest and most variable of these alcoholicbeverages is that fine elixir known as beer. A true beer connoisseurwould never pass up an opportunity to try the local brew, no matterwhere on Earth where they found themselves, and so it behooves theserious beerologist to know how to order a beer in as many languages aspossible. That's why we've taken it upon ourselves to provide you witha handy guide on how to order a beer in 50 different languages. Wherethe pronunciation isn't obvious, or in which the term is normallywritten in non-Roman characters, we've rendered it phonetically.
Cheers!

"Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink, I feelashamed. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in thebrewery and all of their hopes and dreams.

Then Isay to myself, 'It is better that I drink this beer and let theirdreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver.'"
