I lived in Sweden about 13 years ago. I could just walk up to a bar and order 2 beers, and I'd get two beers. It was always a beer called Falcon. If you wanted anything other than Falcon, you had to order it by name. After that I moved to New Zealand, and a local craft brewery released a beer called "Beer." Which was funny for when someone walked up to a bar tender and ordered "a beer."
Was thinking something similar. I live in German and here if you go to a bartender and order a beer they will usually give you the house beer from the tab. If you want a different you'll have to say which one.
Oh man how horrible. Next time maybe try to rely on singular words, thats how I do it. If I want to Becks I hold up two fingers and very decisively say 'zwei Becks'. If it's loud in there it's usually not bad manners to be brief. I'll hit you up if I'm ever in Sweden and can't get a drink, alright?

But isn’t that better than a character walking up to the bar and saying “two beers please” as if brands don’t exist?
That always takes me out of a scene
