Edelstoff

Name: Edelstoff

Location: Bavaria

Score: 9/10

Comment: Another from Mark Sears, "The finest of all German beers, although its not really German it's Bavarian, who are apparently strange Lederhosen wearing freaks. Taste 9/10 but only 2/10 if wearing leather chaps"

Quilmes

Name: Quilmes

Location: Argentina

Score: 6/10

Comment: Another guest selection from Mark Sears, "Beer from Argentina. Not exactly a classic but a kind of everyday easy drinking beer, won't win any medals for quality but easy to get pished on."

Astra

Name: Astra

Location: Hamburg

Score: 7/10

Comment: A guest selection from Mark Sears, who says "local beer of Hamburg. Drank many many of them after I finished the marathon. Typical German lager 7/10 but after 26.2 miles felt more like 10/10"
