Coming from the northeastern part of Germany from the beginning, that means former GDR, I believed I hated beer because we only had Pilsner- and Lager-styled and they all aren't in my taste in any way - just disgusting and repulsive bitter. But then after the reunification someone from the southern part of Germany introduced me to Hefeweizen, and wow, beer CAN taste good.

Erdinger is good, but when you sometime get the chance, you should test Schöfferhofer, Störterbecker or the dark variant of Franziskaner.
And, don't believe, they all come from Bavaria! Two of those I named aren't from the home of Oktoberfest.
