From time immemerial, the Germans have been pe- culiarly a beer-drinking people. In Bavaria, the most celebrated of all places for good beer, the people are co much attached to their favor- ite beverage. that they regard its exclusive use a3 a special mark of gentility; and they look upon the use of distilled liquor. in evef su great moderation, as immoral and vulgar. disquali- fying those who use it for decent society. ‘Throughout the German States, Bavarian beer is regarded as the standard of excellence, the great secret of which appears to consist in fer- menting the wort atan extremely low tempera- ture, by which the acetous fermentation is avoided, and all the nitrogenized matters are completely separated by exposure to the air. and uot by the sacrifice of the sugar in the wort.
