Bierdusche für Merkel!

[Owlet]

Translation: Beer shower for Merkel. A clumsy waiter (dumkopf!) spills four or five glasses of beer on German Chancellor Angela Merkel. I have to say, she looked pretty cool throughout. Do the Germans drink their beer at room temperature like the Brits?

1. They drink it at room temperature because it isn't piss water.

3. Like my lager cold personally.

2. German lagers are usually served cool (cellar temp)

i.e. colder than British ales, but not as cold as most American lagers.

4. If you're going to spill beer on the Chancellor of Germany

you're better off doing it in 2012 than in 1938. If that's any consolation to the waiter.
