Beer in Germany

Beer (German: Bier pronounced [biːɐ̯] ^ⓘ) is a major part of German culture. Only water, hops, and malt are permitted as ingredients, and beers not exclusively using barley-malt, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented.

In 2020, Germany ranked third in Europe in terms of per-capita beer consumption, behind the Czech Republic and Austria.
