Problem
What's the local wine or beer? How do I remember it? What does the symbol mean? What does the name mean?
Answer
Germans Oktoberfest is the biggest beer festival in the world attracting 6 million people. (Now you know why you have to go early in the day to get a seat
The local, made in Munich, beer is called Löwenbrau. (To insert the two dots above the vowel o when typing, hold down the o until a pop up appears. Then you will see that the number two appears under the dots. Pres the key for two (with the fourth finger of your left hand) and, as if by magic the vowel appears on the screen complete with the correct dots.
Löwenbräu (/ˈlɜːrvənbrɔɪ/; German pronunciation: [ˈløːvn̩bʁɔʏ]) is a brewery in Munich owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev. Its name means "lion's brew" in German.
Their symbol is a golden lion with a red tongue - maybe hanging out because it is thirsty. The golden lion is contrasted with a blue background surrounded by a gold circle frame. I presume is intended to convey the maker's belief or the customer's reassurance that the beer is of the best quality.
