Hello everybody!
At first, I would like to introduce myself to the newsgroup: My name is Bastian, I am 27 years old, from Paderborn in Northrhine-Westfalia, Germany and I am a chemistry student. I found this newsgroup searching the net for a beer lover place to discuss and I would be happy to participate in it (if this newsgroup is international?). I like beer very much, especially I like the Belgian ones for their exeptionallity. As you know, as a German we were forced for a long time to stick to the Reinheitsgebot, which prevented us to drink nice beers, e.g. Hoegaarden, one of my favourites. But nevertheless, I also like the German beer and everytime I travel around I am looking for the regional specialities. So I would be happy to join this group and your discussions about the no. 1 drink!
Many Greetings from Germany and a Prost,
Bastian
