OK, your decent lagers tend to be much better than the pissy mass-produced crap than InBev dump on us.
Your real ales, however ... apparently there are some[^], but they're few and far between.

Let's fill in the gaps with some of the countless wheat beers, Bock and all kinds of others. No need to be so focused on ale.

3.9% ABV, it was the UK source of the "making love in a punt" joke, and was the beer that resulted in CAMRA being formed!
It was also sold as a "Party Seven" - seven pints of "beer" in a tin...

Yeah thank god everybody has the same taste...
I know that "Bier" is not beer in other Languages. But i still have to say, that according to all the "BEERS" (Including Ale,Lager,Stout etc. BTW don't know if there are words for all the different types of beer in english) i drank till now i still prefer German Beer overall.
Belgium got some really tasty triple-hops indeed and they have a very nice taste but that's not for the everyday i'd say.
Czech Republic, yeah they invented the "Pils" (pilsner?), very good one and also tasty.
China and the asian countrys got pretty nice "Beer" but i think they are kinda watery (is that a word?) and don't have thah much volume in taste.
American "Beer"... piss, indeed piss or water with piss. (Although they kinda try with this funny crazy brewery stuff)
France... yeah no, except from Desperados which is not a "beer"
Spain / Portugal, tasty, (San Miguel or similar ones) but also a little to much water.
UK /Ireland, well i love Guinnes, but it also is served cold and with foam, tastes like coffee love it. Kilkenny is also a nice one, i haven't tried that many other british beers but some like London Porter and the Iron Maiden Trooper Ale. It is good but i can't say its the best.
Germany, well we have so many Beers with approx 13xx Brewerys i don't wanna begin with every type but pilsener -> very good local brewerys, wheat beer -> bavarian, darkbeer -> North of Germany.
You can't just focus on bloddy ale mate. There are so many more types of Beer and Germany has all

There seem to be quite a few decent micro-breweries starting up on that side of the pond.

Proper Irish Guinness, and some of the new special versions they're producing in bottles, are OK. Regular Guinness in English pubs is terrible.
There's just a few[^] you haven't tried yet.

There are 1285 British breweries[^] in the current Good Beer Guide, producing more than 8000 different beers. Given the difference in population (64 million in the UK vs 80 million in Germany), I'd call that a win!

Of course i have to go to England to try out more beer / Ale but how does it come that Guiness isn't good in your pubs?

Well if you'd see it on ppls count, maybe, but actually i think a lot of brewerys are missing in source so dunno if it's a win
And we are drinking 80,03 Mio. hl a year ^^ I'd call that a win (because we are 2nd in beer drinking)

The Guinness sold in UK pubs used to be brewed in London, and they changed the recipe to make it "more drinkable".
There was also the abomination they called "Extra Cold", which should be avoided at all costs.
It might have improved since they moved production back to Dublin, but decent pubs tend to have more interesting beers on, so I haven't tried draught Guinness recently.

He's a yank, they drink budweiser, pony piss. Wouldn't know an english beer if it spilt on him.
For a lager drinker the english beer is an acquired taste, flat and warm is not a drink.

The blue box is on Earl's Court Road in Kensington, literally on the doorstep of Earls Court Underground Station as it has been every day since 2012. You really can't miss it!

You can also see Platform 9 3/4 at Kings Cross if you're into that sort of thing. It's usually there, but I haven't been through Kings Cross in a while, I spend more time at Paddington these days.

...and I can't find a real explanation...
So, for the last week my phone (Samsung S3 Mini) filling up its system storage with dump files...
There is apparently some failure somewhere in the system every 15 seconds...(I feel a single vibration and a double vibration after 5 seconds, and then a 15 seconds of quiet. It seems that the dump file is written in that 5 seconds, because the phone becomes very slow and almost unresponsive in that time)
So I found a way to cleant those log files to free the system storage and let the phone run, but didn't found a way to identify the cause of the failure that triggers the dump writing...
There is someone out there who can point me to the right direction to identify the source of the failure (maybe an explanation of the dump file)?
(I replaced the only part I can without any problem - the battery...nothing)

Best solution for most cellphone problems:
NaCl 5% in H20.
Carefully soak phone overnight in a darkened room.
Vibrations will stop.
