Some years ago Seattle's Redhook Brewery installed a new German-made
brewing system. I don't remember if they were prepared for the German
technicians' expectation that they'd get to drink beer at lunch, but it
seems that the Redhook brews are stronger that what German workers
normally drink w/lunch.
