I love draft cider. Strongbow is really good, but I'll take Woodchuck because it is often all I can find. Ace is a good Oregon pear cider as well.
Interesting on Bittberger. I had some at a German restaurant, and I liked it. It has an astringency we don't see much, but I didn't think it was bitter.
I'm just glad nobody said Heineken... enjoy your canal water.
