Remember a trip by car 27 years ago from Hamburg to the French mediterranian coast , we had a stopover for the night in Freiburg , close to the French and Swiss border .
In a bar there I ordered for a "Weizenbier" , never came accross this stuff back then , a very sparkling , foamy stuff , having a yeasty flavor .
They pour it from bottles into a longer , conical glass in a special way , so that the foam won't spill .
As the lady behind the bar put a lemon slice into the glass , I almost shouted at her , that "why the heck she's putting lemon into my beer" !
She was astonished and little shocked , stammering "but , but ,...... it's supposed to be....!"
By now this southern kind of beer has conquered the entire country , nobody would argue with the bartender anymore about lemonslices in the beer
!
Cheers , diemai
