Yeah! But what kind of a Beer was it?

From the bottom of my 'Munich on the Williamette' (a.k.a.: Portland Freaking Oregon) Heart, I hope it was a nice Micro-Brew!
I mean, I'm sure in the name of Racial Harmony - not to mention 'Progressive Dispute Abatement', the Widmer or McMenamins Bros., or, better yet, the Good Folks over a Lucky Labrador, would have been happy to FedEx a couple of take-out cartons!
We're with the Germans on the Simpsons (naturally; what with Matt Groening being a Native, all all that), as we all think that most American Beers are, "Like PISS to us."
We wouldn't want you to settle for some Piss in the mouth, after all of that Prof. Gates!

The German says to Homer

The German says to Homer "Your beer is like swill to us. Do I have that right? I am saying that only a swine would drink this beer" .

So yes, obviously Beerplomacy is German.
