When you think of beer, what country comes to mind upon initially thinking about the word beer?

I think of Germany when one says beer.
The Latin word bibere, meaning "to drink", is the origin of the word beer as best we know. Fermented beverages have been around since? Rotting grains. -------------------- The only easy day was yesterday....

QUOTE (Conundrum @ Apr 8 2008, 12:36 PM)  I think of Germany when one says beer. Yep, me too, as far as a country goes. Otherwise, when someone says "beer", I tend to think of whatever my current favorite brand is.

I personally prefer a stout ale (Guinness ) But, I think of Germany first for some reason
