As long as I can
remember, I have enjoyed the flavor and feeling of German Lagers. Examining my
family tree shows a probable reason.
This map of Germany shows the German birthplaces of twelve of my
ancestors, most in Bavaria:

George Eberhardt Koch was born in 1815 in Alsfeld
My maternal great, great,
great, Grandfather Johann Georg Rausch was born in 1803 in Winterkasten
