love that pic of Dingo with the beer in his mouth!!!

[Christie M]

For me, there is NO way I would let my DUTCH dogs pose in a GERMAN zauf-fest.

I thought the Dutch appreciated any reason to drink? Or is that just a German thing?

I thought it was the Irish and Italians-------(Or maybe the DS owners...... )

[Marjolein]

What's the brand you served him? Grolsch or some German Pilsner?

"Kwispelbier"

Johan's mom gave him a bottle of "doggie-beer" for his birthday... "kwispel" is Dutch for tail-wagging

[vneerland]

I spotted right away that that's not Grolsh Eva. Wrong bottle.....
And so we got our first submission. And despite my teasing about the subject, I would hope that Schlussdibusti/Eva would submit something. You may be our only true Octoberfest professional? Plenty of experience?

Do people need a reason? I didn't know that? (Germany is believed to be more of a drinking nation than Holland, but I am not sure who collects the data on it)

Not all Grolsch bottles are green http://www.grolsch.nl/#Onze-Bieren

Just once as a tourist (I am from the North, close to the Dutch border) and the memories are a bit scetchy I remember I had to stand in a long line to go to the bathroom and when it became urgent, I just made a mad dash into the men's bathroom

Historically, folks from the South (Bavarians) and folks beyond the Isar river (Prussians) don't care much for each other. The beer is different, the food is different, etc. I found that Americans identify Bavaria (Lederhosen, Dirndl, etc) with Germany. Has probably to do with American military bases are in the South of Germany. Where I grew up we had lots of British military stationed. We had nice beer, not that light bubbly Bavarian stuff that makes you burp a lot. Decent Bratwurst, not those white sausages you suckle out You get my drift...... Marco will not pose in Lederhosen or such, Sorry

[Sugars Mom]

No posing in lederhosen? That would've been something to see!!

[vneerland]

Well dang Eva. I cannot say that I don't agree (see previous posts) but I am pleasantly surprised that you do not do Octoberfest either. And while I suspect that Marco would not mind posing (if only for a few seconds) with bratwurst, I feel confident that he is not a fan of sauerkraut?

[Schlussdibusti]

I feel confident that he is not a fan of sauerkraut?

Again a North/South deal. I remember my granny preparing sauerkraut with pork ribs. Frying the sauerkraut with onions together with the ribs. Needless to say the sauerkraut was not 'sauer' as you get it in the South and in German restaurants around here in SE Florida. Afterwards a 'Bomerlunder' or 'Underberg' to break down the grease and make the tummy feel good, no need for Tums or Bepto

Am I 'off-topic' or what

[icvanstra]

And my vote is determined!!!

[Marjolein]

whahaha, Marco even looks drunk!

[vneerland]

Is Marco a German Shepherd? :Mrgreen:
@ Marjolein. Don't wine/whine. You beat the rest of us all the time. I tried implementing the "No 'met streepjes' " rule, but they refused to accept that motion.

[Schlussdibusti]

Is Marco a German Shepherd? ;Mrgreen:

No, he is actually a black Lab with stripes! Did you see what he was 'drinking'. He got into my black Lab beer bottle collection

[Marjolein]

I am still paying off Eric and Christie for their anti-vote

[felixone123]
