Not to speak for everybody, but I think St. Pauli Girl is weird because:
-No one seems to drink it. I mean I never ever see anybody drink it.
-It's not, I don't think, considered a cheap beer. But, purely in terms of its quality as a beer, it is so middling and mediocre that it's hard to imagine anyone really being into it and requesting it by name. It occupies an awkward position of bad 'good' beer.
-It is something like 29,403rd on the list of choices I would make when thinking about what beer to drink.
-There's that fuckin' St. Pauli Girl on the bottle.
-The St. Pauli Girl slogan used to be: "You Never Forget Your First Girl." Yet, I have completely forgotten the first bottle of St. Pauli Girl beer that I drank.
My Lowenbrau reference was meant to be a similar "wtf" of the beer world.
Please, itchy mcgoo, if you have more questions about specific beers, feel free to ask.
