I didn’t read those strips about homebrewing at the time. The funny thing is Belgium is THE best country in the world for chocolate, far, far better than Germany; but for beer… their traditional styles are so different you can’t compare.
Hmmm – my 2 favorites are a German hefeweissen and a Belgian quadrupel (I’ve made a hefeweissen, but haven’t the done a quad yet). I wouldn’t want to have to choose between them for a number 1 fav.

As long as we’re talking beer here: Belgians are not usually to my taste. Too overpowering, though of course there are exceptions. Germans make some fine suds, and lots of them. Z.A.M. is right about there being no real comparison between the two. But perhaps owing to my Scottish ancestry, I find I really enjoy English style ales. Boddington’s pub ale is outstanding. Curiously, the “Scottish ales” I find in the US remind me of the Belgian brews. Too strong and overpowering. Thankfully, there are now many fine microbrews here in the OSA.
It’s unfair to blame the Germans for Chrysler. Chrysler was so far down the hole, even the Germans couldn’t pull it back to decency. Just poor designs badly made. I wouldn’t take one if they gave them away.
Just to name three off the bat:1) German comedians can be a bit stiff. 2) Germans are rank amateurs at Football (real American-style football, not soccer); and3) Not stellar sprinters (last standout was Arthur Jonath in 1932).So, no Satchel. Please crush that mystique that Germany does everything the best.
I love a Sammy or an Anchor dark. In Germany I loved Dortmunder Union and in Czechoslovakia (a long time ago) I loved Pilsner Urquell. Oh, the good old days! Today, I’m as likely to order a Negra Modello.
I thought it was supposed to be Swiss chocolate that was the best. But it really is whatever you like. Me, I’m into Guinness. Even ordered one when I took a trip to Austria over a decade ago.

Belgium has the best beers AND chocolates.… BTW, ‘Hoboken’ is also a place in Belgium :-)

To be fair though, Beethoven and Reinheitsgebot make up for those flaws.

The Germans did route the Polish Army quite easily. It took the Russians to get the Germans out.

I was going to say the best beer is FREE beer but that Chrysler remark made me totally lose it! God that is about the funniest thing I’ve ever heard!
