Whipped up some spatzle, sauerbraten, and baked potato to go with the German pils.

I bet that bier is suffig. Hey did you know pumpernickel means “devil’s farts”?

and did you know on many bock’s in Germany is a picture of a goat? originated from the early days and where Maibock is said to have originated in the town of Einbeck. like many things, it got lost in translation and people said ein bock (instead of Einbeck) which translates to billy goat…and the rest is history.

I’ve been appreciating that language lately. I have been working with quite a few German speakers lately. I like that the have words for things like emotions or ideas that in English we need sentences for. Shaedenfreude and stuff like that. I had heard the goat/ bock story. Love that stuff!

Yes great culture and language.

I like to refer to my beer  literally…may goat, double goat, ice goat,  dark goat, Christmas goat…you get the idea.

I had never seen that, and in German devil = Teufel, so the Nick/nickel thing is new to me, but it might be a German idiom that I am not familiar with. The Young’s old Nick with the devil on it is familiar to me, but that was a Brititsh beer.

Somehow Nick is a folk name for the devil. " old Nick" etc. The Adam Sandler movie “Little Nicky” used this. So yes, I think your right that its a different idiom, just like English has several different words and stories for the devil. Given that its easy to see pumper= fart.

I found this:
“The true origin of “pumpernickel” is nearly as strange, if somewhat less savory. “Pumpern” was a New High German word similar in meaning to the English “fart” (so chosen because, like the word “achoo,” it imitated the sound it described), and “Nickel” was a form of the name Nicholas, an appellation commonly associated with a goblin or devil (e.g., “Old Nick” is a familiar name for Satan). Hence, pumpernickel is the “devil’s fart,” allegedly a reference to the bread’s indigestible qualities and hence the effect it produced on those who consumed it.”

This is outstanding - part interesting linguistics, part fart history. Win-win.    ;D

St. Nicholas is the bringer of gifts, and gifts are exchanged on Dec. 6th in Germany. Not a devil by any means. Now the Krampus is another thing all together, on Dec. 5th.

Most references to Old Nick that I can find say it is old English for the devil. How it got to Germany is something I don’t know.

Apparently very old in origin regarding reference to nick or Nicholas and the devil.

Edit: perhaps Saint Nicholas , the one who dispenses gifts is to mean the gift that dispenses from us after eating pumpernickel [emoji16]

My girlfriend’s birthday is December 6 and every year we try to find this beer: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/285/776/
Its only brewed on St. Nick’s day and sold the following fal/winter. I believe we have had it twice. It was the world’s strongest beer for awhile.

Old English and German are quite close. It was probably the other way around in that the folklore probably moved from Northern Europe to England (think Beowolf). Modern German is related very closely to old English, both Anglo-saxon in origen. Modern English is mostly Anglo Saxon with a strong french influence starting in 1066. If you read an old english version of something familiar, like The Lord’s Prayer, it sounds a bit German. If you read Middle English like Chaucer (1300’s), it sounds a bit French ("whan that Aprille with his shoure’s  sote…) , then once you get to Shakespeare (1600) it sounds, well English.

Modern English is a Germanic language that has little resblance to German.

I think there is quite a bit of resemblance. Much of the vocabulary is close, maybe 60 percent of the same origins but different pronunciations of various vowels, shifts from v to w and p to f etc. mostly there is a more direct grammar than the latin derived languages.
