    Im actually in Ireland, but I grew up in western PA. There is a Deutschestown in north Pittsburgh, and a few breweries have faux bierhalles like Penn Brewery for example. Max’s Alleghenney Tavern in Pgh is a ‘German Restaurant’ as well, but they do “quirky german” things like serve beer in jars, which is not done in Germany at all…

    anyway, genetically, Im half polish half irish, but there were shit tons of italians everywhere also. plenty of krauts in my schools though, now that im old enough to decipher their last names’ ethnic origins. some scandanavians also
