Willow's prompt this week reminded me of a saying I learned when I was working in Germany:
"'In vino veritas.'
In Bier ist auch etwas."
("In wine there is truth."
In beer there is also something.) :-)

Makes sense - just don't mix the two.
I like that, so true!
In vino veritas -- I love that phrase. Beer may have something but wine does it for me.
gosh that looks ... thirst-quenching
a fine tool for discovering the something else?
This is good, but do you care to elaborate what you thing that something is? lol
How apt can you get? :)
Perfect!
Funny...

In beer there is a fat gut waiting......
Know that saying but don't know what beer has - I don't like it - not even a Herforder Pils!
Give me a glass of wine any day, or even a bottle!
haha .... there's a whole bunch of truth in some brilliantly arranged words!! Bravo!
I don't think anyone will find argument with your premise!
loved it! In wine truth and in beer- the draft that quenches in the summer!
How about some love for barley and hops...nectar of the gods! Vb
Yes there is something in beer...a feel of its own...an emotion of its own...sometimes its takes precedent...bkm
Magpiers know the truths. :)
Kathe has summed up my feelings perfectly!
Anna :o]
"something" is quite effective here. mysterious. i wanna know what it is.
My thanks to Anna, Tumblewords, bkm, versebender, Kathe W, Meryl, Lynn H R, laurie, Mary, Jinksy, honeyhaiku, Isabel D and E Goddess for understanding the "etwas" -- something -- that beer has to offer. :-)
This is true! I'm giggling over Ollie's comment.
Old English saying . . "It's the drink talking." Does that mean the same as "In Vino Veritas", or the opposite?
Beer on wine is fine ...
Wine on beer you must fear ...
Learned that years ago ...
Helen: "Beer on wine is fine ..."
Have to admit I hadn't heard that before. :-)
Dr. FTSE: "It's the drink talking." Does that mean the same as "In Vino Veritas", or the opposite?
Could be both..? :-)
gautami t.: "Great writing!"
Great commenting! :-)
Oh yes, in beer there is something. I really enjoy a good dark beer when I am in the right mood and in the right weather/company.
LOL, gonna be laughing over this for a little while longer.
Amen!
I think both mean "Cheers!"...
Great photos.
Yes, you got it right with the translation.
Hehe! :D nice nice! I still prefer the wine though ;)
