We talked a bit about the mixing of beer and banana juice in one of our episodes from Germany. German media outlet Deutsche Welle invited me to write a commentary about Biermischgetraenke, the German beverage genre that combines beer with soda, juice, or in the case of the drinks seen here, super sweet syrup. I love German beer, but, as you'll see from the op-ed (and later, a radio version) I'm not exactly a fan of mixing it with the sweet stuff. /mark
