Have you tried Wasatch brewery’s Apricot Hefeweizen? It’s very nice.
Wait, do you mean you found out a friend isn’t a friend?
Well, there was this one time that I used to work on Anderson Cooper and to amuse ourselves at the end of broadcasts that were a little short we’d show this, it always gave him the giggles:

From Salt Lake City? are they allowed to brew proper beer in Utah?
Am I not more of a porter drinker?
@anon67050589, how about:
Would you believe Utah has some pretty good local beers?
And that I’ll usually take something stronger instead?

Can I get a pass because I was up late prepping for a birthday party?
Didn’t our long-lost-compatriot-in-Vermont like that beer? (My son chose that for me once because it was pink; I wasn’t.) struck by the flavor
Wouldn’t I want to show what brewers in the U.S. can do, but not stray so far from his expected palate that he wouldn’t find it enjoyable?
Also, haven’t I found that Germans are more prudish than you’d think, so Arrogant Bastard and such labels are not a good choice?

Can I point out that chocolate+PB+banana is not MY favorite combo, so why would I inflict it on him?!
Also, did you see my later statement about Germans not having the same raucous humor as we do? Could that fabulous bottle be a bit too far past his comfort zone?
(But thanks for the suggestions…If I ever find someone who likes that combo, now I know what to get them!)
Can I just add that I did buy lemons on the likely chance that between beer and iced tea we’d need them?
And don’t I wish I had hand-picked some nice Napa and Sonoma Valley wines when I was there in…oh, wait, that’s right, I never got there, did I?

I am gonna sound old and uninspired, but have they had a simple Sierra Nevada? Do they understand the monumental importance of that single beer?
And if you can find it, isn’t Pliny the Elder from Russian River the best crafted gonzo American beer? (Blind pig from Russian river is better balanced, but impossible to find)

Gah, even though I am an enthusiast, doesn’t it irk that to break the top ten you have to be 10%+? Yes, I have also blown out my taste buds, but as a craft industry is this where we want to go?
I desperately need to plant apples and start my bee hives, cause who is gonna save the American beverage industry but me?

Do you have access to Ballast Point (from San Diego) products? Wouldn’t their original Pale Ale be just the thing for German tastes?
