Germany
Don't be disappointed if your beer comes in a small glass; this is not Bavaria. It just means you can drink more of them doesn't it? You will also have to be patient as it takes a few minutes to pull a perfect Pils, experts say 20 minutes, so order your next one well in advance! For every beer you drink , the barman will put a pencil mark on your beer mat and you pay before you go.
Try the many different sorts of Pils. Any bar will serve you a decent beer.
