Thinking of Rotbier...

Indeed. Maybe someone could explain what's special or unique about Rotbier. That article Jürgen quoted doesn't say much about it other than it's what would be called "amber" lager elsewhere. I guess such copper-coloured lagers aren't all that common round here though. Be careful with the English translation though; in Oregon, "red beer" means industrial rice beer with tomato juice. Those savages, mixing other stuff in their beer...see what happens when you don't have a Reinheitsgebot!
