Appropriate as well.
Former DWM manager Paul von Gontard was married to Clara Busch, of the Anheuser-Busch company. |

The landlord for the bedsit I rented in Harrington Gardens ran a distributorship for both brews, from the closet in his office. He actually hired me part-time for 90p/hr. to deliver cases to various pubs and shops using his Austin van.

Where the Germans went, beer followed.
Tjingtao beer in China is a direct descendant of German beer, protected by aptly marked navy lugers ![]() Anheuser-Busch was founded by German immigrants as well. Unfortunately I'm stuck in Heineken territory, but I am not too far away from the artists in beer brewing: Belgium. Anyway, Paul von Gontard had it all: Lugers, Mercedes-Benz and beer, while enjoying retirement in Switzerland. |
