San eagrán seo de Gaeilge Thar Lear, táim ag insint scéalta faoi mo thaithí le beoir agus alcól sa Ghearmáin. Ó The Franciscan Well i gCorcaigh – an áit ar fhoghlaim mé go bhféadfadh beoir a bheith blasta – go mo chéad oíche dhíomách i Marburg, ó an beoir is fearr a d'ól mé riamh i mBrauhaus Augustiner München go mo thurnamh i nErlangen nuair a chaill mé mo chairde ag Bierfest... tá sé uilig anseo!

Pléim an difríocht chultúrtha idir an Ghearmáin agus Éire maidir le beoir – cén fáth a gceiliúrann na Gearmánaigh an táirge féin agus cén fáth a gceiliúraimid an craic a chruthaíonn sé. Tá an Reinheitsgebot, rivalries peile idir Dortmund agus Gelsenkirchen, agus an nóiméad i nDortmund nuair a thuig mé go raibh mé ag éirí níos sine.

Más maith leat scéalta faoi dhisasters Erasmus, cultúr na beorach, nó an t-aistear ó bheith 21 go duine nach n-ólann mórán sa lá atá inniu ann – éist leis seo!

Beer and Alcohol in Germany

In this episode of Gaeilge Thar Lear, I'm sharing stories about my experiences with beer and alcohol in Germany. From The Franciscan Well in Cork – where I learned that beer could actually taste good – to my disappointing first night in Marburg, from the best beer I ever had at Brauhaus Augustiner in Munich to my complete disaster in Erlangen when I lost my friends at a Bierfest... it's all here!

I explore the cultural differences between Germany and Ireland when it comes to beer – why Germans celebrate the product itself and why we celebrate the craic it creates. There's the Reinheitsgebot (Beer Purity Law), football rivalries between Dortmund and Gelsenkirchen, and the moment in Dortmund when I realized I was getting older.

If you enjoy stories about Erasmus disasters, beer culture, or the journey from being 21 to someone who doesn't drink much these days – give this a listen!
