Really depends on what kind of beer you like. Oh, and fact: Most German beers are brewed with hops grown in Oregon, or developed in Oregon. As in, Oregon of the U.S. of A. Second fact: Most of the trees in Germany are from Oregon as well. After WWI & II, so many of the trees in Germany were destroyed they had to replant, and since their climate is almost exactly like Oregon's, most of the trees came from there. So yes, German beer is awesome. But don't diss-miss the green glory of PNW hops. My head is filled with useless trivia.
