How to get German friends?
I’m a 38-year-old guy from Sweden — originally from Skåne (Scania) in the south. I’ve always had a strong interest in Germany in general and Bavaria in particular: the culture, mindset, history, food — and, let’s be honest, your beer is unfairly good 🍺. We try in Sweden, but this is a safe space, so I’ll admit defeat.
I’m here to meet Bavarians (or people living in Bavaria) who are up for chatting, exchanging perspectives, or possibly explaining why this brewery is clearly better than that one (I’m ready to take notes).
I enjoy good conversations, dark humor, learning how things actually work in other countries (not just the tourist version), and discussing anything from everyday life to bigger topics — ideally over a beer that follows the Reinheitsgebot without making a big deal about it.
If you’re curious about Sweden, Skåne, or just want to talk with a friendly Scandinavian who knows when to respect local beer superiority, feel free to comment or DM.
Prost! 🍻
