    a wheat beer, look tasty! Later on I plan to have a Bavarian Weihnachtsbier, they are more full bodied and stronger than a traditional pilsner/lager, very tasty 😀

    Prost!

    Weihenstephan is great beer, though I prefer the Weizen when it is warm outside 🙂

    Do you know of any wheat beer which is not a white beer?

    Actually I was going by the hazy quality of the beer and the rather pronounced foam head both characteristic of a wheat beer.

    Wheat beer is a beer, usually top-fermented (lagers are bottom fermented), which is brewed with a large proportion of wheat relative to the amount of malted barley. The two main varieties are Weissbier and Witbier. 😀

    Germany makes some truly awesome beers which is in part due to the brewing process. They favour what is called a decoction mash, that is the pulling and boiling of certain portions of the malt to impart a more robust flavour. Mostly done away with because modern malts are so well modified by the malt companies, still it is used by traditional breweries. It served well in a time before thermometers and the enzymatic processes were fully understood.

    Well, beer is not really my "thing".

    Clearly

    Beer is 92% water and contains among other things, amounts of magnesium, selenium, potassium, phosphorus, biotin, and vitamin B’s

    there are less carbs in beer than in Orange juice,

    I hope I might add 🙂

    As a diabetic, I know a bit about carbs (more than I do about beer).

    For very nearly the same calories, beer is practically nutrient-free, whereas OJ has easily 2x to 2.5x the RDA of Vitamin C and one-fifth the RDA of Vitamin B1.

    Beer has anywhere from 5 to 11 grams of carbs per 12 oz serving.

    OJ has anywhere from 24 to 29 grams of carbs per 8 oz serving (because that is mostly sugars).

    So I don't drink OJ, either.

    I drink the King of Beers as I have noted a number of times. Best to drink it on a hot day while mowing the lawn. Before you know it the lawn is mowed and you can't walk or talk strait.

    As if you had enough trouble, you add diabetes to the list. There are developments in that field though, I hear stem cell research is coming up with ways to regenerate the pancreas, so I hope you will be able to pass that particular debacle.
