    All About German Beer

    Throughout Germany, beer is very popular with the culture. Germany contains well
    over 1,000 breweries, which is more than any other location in the world. All beer
    that is manufactured in Germany must follow the purity law, which lets
    manufacturers know what ingredients can and cant be used. Basically, the only
    ingredients allowed to make beer in Germany are water, hops, and barley malt.

    Due to the strict purity requirements, you can easily notice German beers by their
    overall level of quality. They have a distinct taste, with little to no
    aftertaste. Some styles of German ale include Koelsch, Weizen, and Altbier. Some
    types of German lagers include Bock, Pilsener, Dunkel, Helles, and Maerzen. Keep
    in mind that the taste, aroma, and color can vary, although all can be identified
    as being true German beers.

    The German beer Altbier is a very common dark ale, that is top fermented in the
    lower regions of Germany. The beer proposes a yellow color, with a taste that is
    rich in hops. Another ale, Rauchbier, is known to have a smoky flavor with a
    smoked color. These beers taste great, and happen to be very popular throughout
    the regions of Germany.

    German lagers are also very popular, and happen to be popular in other areas of the
    world as well. Pilsener is one of the most popular and most familiar of all German
    beers, providing you with more hops and less malt. Pilsener can be found for sale
    all over the world, and happens to be very popular throughout North America as
    well. Several bars serve it as well, as it happens to be one of the most popular
    dark lagers out there.

    Throughout Germany, there are several different companies, produce over 4,000
    different brands of beers. Some of the more well known and larger companies of
    north Germany are Beck, St. Pauli, Warsteiner, and Krombach. In the southern
    region of Germany, there are more breweries, although most of them are smaller, as
    they are locally owned and operated. Southern Germany also contains the
    Benedictine Abbey, which is one of the oldest breweries in the world. This brewery
    started producing beer in 1040 - very impressive indeed!

    Germany is also home to Oktoberfest, which is held every year in Munich.


    Oktoberfest starts in late September and carries on for two weeks, ending in early
    October. During Oktoberfest, beer drinkers from all over the world will travel to
    Germany and celebrate German beers. Each and every year, over 5 million people
    attend the event, making it one of the biggest beer celebrations in the world.

    During Oktoberfest, local breweries in Munich are the only breweries allowed to
    serve beer in the bigger tents. There are six breweries in total, producing a
    variety of different beers. By attending this yearly event, you can learn more
    about German beer, sample the different varieties, and enjoy the rich bold flavors
    that make German beer so very popular.

    Due to the success Oktoberfest gets each and every year, other cities around the
    world try and mimic this event. Even though they have success, their level of
    success isnt near as much as the original Oktoberfest - Germany. German beers are
    very popular around the world, with Oktoberfest helping to prove that very claim.
    If you drink beer but have never experienced what beers from Germany have to offer,
    you really should give them a try. Once you do, youll quickly realize why German
    beers are so very popular - and why the taste simply cant be duplicated with any
    other beer.
