Where do I find these German beers?

Oh, dear. Session-strength is 4.8+%? Well, to Bavarians, yes. W.r.t. the miserable state of brewing and consuming beer in Germany at large (not including the small Franconian brewers!), there was a very good show about what's going wrong on public TV recently, which I failed to record live, but which is archived online at present. Discussion of the show and where to see it now are at this blog post in English: < http://refreshingbeer.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/is-this-programme-that-will-be-wake-up.html > and there's another discussion in German here: < http://www.lieblingsbier.de/2012/06/04/zdf-hopfen-und-malz-verloren-wie-gut-ist-deutschlands-bier-wirklich/ > Nothing really new there, just a good summary for Josef Sechsträger to get an idea of why his Bitburger ain't what it used to be.
