PROST!

There are around 1,300 breweries in Germany. They exist in every region. Lot of them are private, long lasting and with a family traditions. Krombacher was ranged as a most popular beer in Germany the last year and after comes Bitburger, Warsteiner and Becks -the most exported German beer.
Berliner Kindel is one very popular beer in Berlin. You can find them in some other countries, but in Berlin, Kindel Weisse Red or Green (Rot oder Grun) you can find just in Berlin. In bottles you can buy them in supermarket and in bars it’s typically served in a bowl-shaped glass with flavored syrups, such as raspberry (Himbeersirup), or artificial woodruff flavoring (Waldmeistersirup). One story says that long time ago when French people came in Berlin, they could not drink an ordinary beer and that they had put some syrup in.
Bavaria, par example is the part of Germany where is located about 560 of breweries. This region is place where is organized every year in the end of September and beginning of October the Oktoberfest, the most famous beer event, where the last year par example 7.5l were sold, (that was about 70.125.000e) they are selling there just beer from Bavaria, in so called Mass- 1l pot, and the price is between 9 and 10e.
I hope that you also remarked that in Berlin, its allowed to drink it in U-bahn and S-bahn, and it is not permit in some others cities in Germany, and in some parts of America this is a crime and police can take you into the prison.

Potsdam

Potsdam est une ville d’Allemagne, capitale du Land de Brandebourg située tout près de Berlin, au bord de la rivière Havel. C’est le symbole du militarisme prussien, car pendant que Berlin était la capitale officielle de la Prusse et plus tard de l’Empire allemand, la Cour restait à Potsdam. Elle compte aujourd’hui 150 000 habitants, et est donc la ville la plus peuplé du Brandebourg. On a besoin d’une quarantaine de minutes pour y aller de S-bahn Friedrischstrasse. On prend S1 en direction Wansee jusqu’au terminus.
On a plein de choses à visiter, car dans cette ville se trouvent aussi : Le Palais Sanssouci, le Nouveau Palais, église de St.Nicolas, ancien Parlement, Quartier Hollandais, Brandeburg gate dans le Luisenplatz, le Musée de Film et beaucoup d’autres choses à voir.
Le palais de Sanssouci (ou Schloss Sanssouci en allemand) est l’ancien palais d’été du roi de Prusse Frédéric le Grand Le palais était réservé au roi et à ses proches pendant les mois d’été, de fin avril à début octobre.
On range souvent Sanssouci parmi les principaux rivaux du château de Versailles, bien que le palais ait été réalisé dans un style rococo et son véritable équivalent en France est le château de Marly. Frédéric n’a pas aimé les jardins à la anglaise et c’est pourquoi devant le château se trouvent des jardins à la française. A l’entrée autour des escaliers qui amènent au palais se trouvent grands vignobles en terrasse.
Après la Seconde Guerre mondiale, le palais devint une attraction touristique en République démocratique allemande.Sanssouci et ses vastes jardins furent inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l’UNESCO en 1990.
