What do you guys drink when you want a really good one? Germans only, please.

Wernesgrüner from Aldi. I don’t know that it ranks as the best, but the most affordable at $5.99+tax for a 4 pack .5l cans. I haven’t tried a lot, but I haven’t ran across a German beer I did not like.

I first read it as German Luger, got all excited!

Man o man, you're not kidding about Ayinger. Their beer is a work of art.

Mark:: Is the Weihenstephaner Dunkel a wheat beer?

 

[ManiacalMark]

Dunkel is similar to a bock

Not quite. Dunkel means "dark". Bock is a malty beer. But is the Weihenstephaner you're talking about a Wheat / Weis beer?

Find a local brewery that does one. It will be fresh instead of 3+ months old.

When my German colleagues came over here to visit, they were amazed at how good our local beers are.

I believe their dunkel is actually called dunkel weizen or more accurately Hefeweissbier so yes a wheat beer.

Was going to say the same thing.
