Five German News Stories

 1.  I noticed brief news out of Hamburg....cocaine has dropped in price....so it's now even cheaper than a beer.  

2.  The Inspector of the Bundeswehr (German Army) now says that the low state of ammo and weapons....is such...that Germany cannot fulfill it's NATO obligations.  

Took a lot of hard work determination to reach this glorious level....I'm sure medals and awards will be given out over this achievement.

3.  German rail service is offering a 'friends' discount (20-percent off).....but you have to drag three folks with you (minimum).

4.   Foreign Minister Baerbock bill to the gov't for a make-up artist?  137,000 Euro.  

5.  Because of the increasing trend of criminals blowing up ATM machines around Germany....the government is discussing mandated security measures....which will add more security to the building structure....at a higher cost.  Anticipate fees to increase.

What is the cost of a glass of Pilsner beer in a gasthaus nowadays?

If you were picking a half-liter....premium beer (not Bitburger), it's in the 5.50 to 5.90 Euro range. Cheaper beer...maybe 3.90. That's at a restaurant menu price. At a beverage shop, for a beer in a can (cheap stuff), you can still find a half-liter of crappy beer for .60 Euro cents.

Thats one of the ten things that everyone agrees on...inflation really made beer a problem.

Food has gone the same way.
