That IS a good one!

I didn't even know you could get that in the USA.

I was stationed in the town of Kitzingen, Germany about 10 minute drive from Wurzburg where that beer comes from, I'm very familiar with it!

I know Michigan is not an import, back in the day Coors was an “import” because they wouldn’t ship east past the Mississippi due to continuous Refrigeraton issues from the brewery.

Once we figured out the codes Bud from Williamsburg was the best, Jacksonville was avoided due to water quality in Florida and coors was an import.

Fortunately my beer taste has changed.
