On the subject of a good German beer, can not beat a Warstiner the worst I ever had was Union Beer like treacle now now I tend to go for 1664 as like you I can not get a good German beer out here!

Cheers too JT

Thanks for finding an outlet. They have certainly gone up in price since theose heady days in Lemgo when you could get a 'handbag' 10 bottles in each handbag for 8 marks, £2 in our money now.

Hello Paul,
Done some more googling last night, hope I have not led you up a garden path?
Theanswerbank gave a thread of an ex squaddie'swife who was looking for Herfy Handbags, anyway try www.booze.com or europeanbeers.com These sites come up when you google Herforder Pils, but still did not see any listed.

I do remember back in Lemgo days having "Handbags" that were actually more orange than yellow, I guess that may have been a hiccup with the cardboard suppliers. (Larger photo version in photo gallery)
Perhaps Paul is recalling the same memories as myself as us old gits sometimes have clouded recall. Jase, you must have been nine or ten years old then so you would not of course have those memories.
