Elkhart IN - It’s in the Beer

 

Elkhart, IN – It’s in the Beer

Last night, something happened that you would never see in a German household: leftover beer in a stein.

But—my husband is American, so I’ll give him a pass. He often leaves what I teasingly call an Anstandsrecht in his beer stein or bottle—a polite little leftover that, in Germany, would be borderline sacrilegious.

Anyway, I didn’t get around to clearing the glasses before washing dishes, so they sat on the counter overnight.

Now here’s where it gets interesting.

We’ve been battling a small army of tiny black flies these past few days. This morning, as I was assessing the battleground, I noticed two of them floating in my husband’s leftover beer stein.

Apparently, they have excellent taste.

While I refuse to share my beer with pests, my husband seems to have no problem offering them a sip. Generous to a fault.

Prost! 🍻
