In Dusseldorf there's usually a bloke walking around the pub with a number of beers and as soon as you sit down, one is plonked in front of you, no questions asked. In fact you don't even need to ask for the next one as they keep an eye on you and as soon as you have finished the first, the second one is already there. Caused some problems when I gave a training course there. I'd booked the hotel and lunch was served in a brewery across the road. Naturally the beer was plonked down and everyone was so shocked they drank it. When the second came, I was the only person to accept which was embarrasing although even more embarrasing were the requests from the attendees, such as diet coke and Sprite. The waiter gave them a filthy look and then when the obligatory Schnapps was offered after lunch only a couple of us took him up.
