European beers are great, it's just that so many American micro brews are knocking it out of the park.

It's a German-style dunkel made right here in Pittsburgh, and it has won awards at the Great American Beer Festival.

I think the coffee beans come from Columbia and other countries but it's processed in New Orleans. I just learned one of the Folgers was murdered in the Manson murders.

I don't drink beer or even alcohol much anymore, maybe 2x a year. But I used to drink Amstel light in France. It was the only beer I ever liked.

If it doesn't say "Colombia" on the package label, it's from somewhere else. There are good, even great, coffee beans from other countries, but I'm still partial to the coffee from Colombia. (As long as I can afford it.) I've been stocking up on my favorites for the past couple of months.

On the jar it says: 100% pure coffee and Classic Roast... at the Folgers website it says they have a ground Arabica I think and it says Columbian on it so that one is 100% columbian. I am not sure about the one I drink it could be a mix of arabica and robusta from Africa and or elsewhere. I started drinking coffee again after 40 years of only tea, about 1-2 years ago, so I have forgotten what I may have known about it, but I posted this website on a post here a while back. 😁

Too many people are PISSED OFF about this nonsense. The tariffs are nothing but TAXES on us, not on the foreign countries. We knew that and we told the MAGAs but they wouldn't listen to us. Now they know.

Plus Chump is tanking the economy, and the billionaires aren't happy about it.

Some crafts are now specializing in German style beer.

Can't speak for the coffee, but there's lot of good American German style beer.
