> >curacao 

This one is funny, because both Grand Marnier or Blue Curacao could be the 
correct "wrong" answer.  Both Cointreau and and Grand Marnier originate in 
France.  Also, both Blue Curacao and Cointreau are Triple Secs, albeit one top 
shelf and one colored blue.

Sweet Vermouth is an Italian Fortified Wine, not a liqueur.

Mead is honey wine.  No Grapes here.

Beer is not distilled!  The difference is Lager Yeast ferments at the bottom 
and is typically fermented at cooler temperatures than Ale, which ferments at 
the top.  Lagers also typically take longer to ferment.

All Mexican imports do not get a lime!  Most are brewed in the German 
tradition and therefore need no fruit.  Also, all wheat beers do not get an 
Orange!  Hoegaarden typically gets a lemon, and is neither a joke nor a local 
brew, being a product of Inbev and all.

St Louis if you are American.  Budweis, Czech Republic if you are German or 
Czech.  Its a long story.  

Texas?  Seriously?

Pilsen, Czech Republic.
