Wernesgruener Pils Legende is a German import that you might like to try if you prefer the lighter pils variety. My wife picked up a 4 pack of the tall cans last night at Aldi's for about 5 dollars. It is 4.9% alcohol and has a nice smooth taste. I had never heard of it before.
The brewery dates back to 1436 and has undergone a couple of changes of ownership. It is now under the Carlsberg Group of Hamburg. I don't know if that is part of the Carlsberg Danish brewery or not. The brewery is located in Steinberg, Saxony, close to the Czech border.
