What better way to start a Germany beer guide than by
appointing a Delegate?

Diana Diller is our Beer Delegate for Germany. As you can see, she can hold her beer AND drink it at the same time.
The United Nations of Beer is proud to present Diana Diller, official UNOB Beer Delegate for Germany!
The idea of Andy Thorne, a Brit, representing her country got our Di a little hot under the collar.
You can understand that, I guess...
So moved was she that she applied for his position, and given that Andy's been AWOL since August, we decided to appoint her in his place. Read on!
A Brit to represent the homecountry of beer? My Germany? I am a Bavarian woman, a Franconian, to be specific.
The place where I live is
surrounded by not less than 24(!) breweries and I sucked up
beer with the mother's milk.
I know, my Lagerbier, my Weizenbier, my Kellerbier, my Bockbier and my Pilsener.
I know (and detest) 'Kölsch' (fruit beer), Berliner Kindl, Becks, Heineken and Carlsberg.
I
enjoy Christmas beer, Octoberfest beer
and Holiday beer and I've made the mistake to drink
'piss beer' like Warsteiner and Göttinger.
A Brit to represent Germany? I think not!
We're hoping that Andy Thorne will come back as Deputy Beer Delegate very soon.
You can help Diana by applying for Deputy Beer Delegate status for Germany, or apply for a different country, province or state, by going to our Beer Delegates page.
