Throughout Germany consuming beer is a popular pastime. Germany has over 1,000 breweries which is many more than any other country in the world. Breweries of beer in Germany must follow the purity law, which originated in 1516 that dictated that only barley, hops and water must be used for brewing beer.
Quality German beer has a distinct taste with little or no after taste. A few German ales are Koelsch, Weizen and Altbier and Rauchbier. The lagers include Bock, Pilsner, Dunkel, Helles and Maerzan. The taste, aroma and colour vary with each beer but they all are able to identify as German made beer.
Some styles of German beer include Koelsch, Waizen and Altiber. The German beer Altbier ranges in colour from medium to dark brown. This beer is conditioned longer than other beers which allow it to mellow out the fruitiness and produces a smooth and delicate beer. It has a great balance between malt and hops and is very popular throughout the regions of Germany. Rauchbier is known to have a smoky colour and flavour; it too is a popular beer in Germany. Each beer has its own unique quality of flavour and clarity.
German lagers are also very popular not only in Germany but many other countries around the world. Pilsener is one of the most popular and most familiar of Germans Beer. It is a beer that presents with less malt and more hops and is very popular in particular in North America where it is served in bars and restaurants, as it happens to be one of the most popular dark lagers on the market.
There are over 4,000 different brands of beer brewed by several companies throughout Germany. Some of the better known and larger breweries of north Germany are Beck, St Pauli, Warsteiner and Krombach. In the southern region of Germany most of the breweries, of which there are many more than the north, are smaller and locally owned and operated. Southern Germany also houses the Benedictine Abbey, which is one of the world's oldest breweries. Beer was produced here from as early as the year 1040. Quite an impressive record.
Germany is home to the Oktoberfest, held every year in Munich. It usually commences in late September and continues for two weeks ending in October. German beer is celebrated by as many as five million people from all over the world during this period, making it one of the largest celebrations of beer in the world.
