German Beer – One of the World's Top Types of Beer

For several centuries Germany has been at the forefront of brewing beer. The drink is something that has been common throughout all generations of German history. German beer is the most popular types of imported beer in the world. A major part of it has to do with the way that the beer is made and the strict laws that the country has for making the beer.

 

Just like in other countries there are all sorts of different types of German beer. What makes this type of beer different from the beer that comes from other countries is that of the requirements for purity that have been created for it by the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot law. The original law stated that the only three ingredients that would be allowed in beer made in the country are water, hops and malted barley. When yeast was discovered it was included as a fourth ingredient in the law. Sugar has also been allowed as an optional ingredient.

With the limited ingredients mentioned here it can be seen as to why German beer. The sharp taste of the drink is something that is unique and it is thanks to the limits that the country has placed on the ingredients that can be used here. However, the beer is soothing in that it is pure.

The typical content of the alcohol in German beer will vary. Most of them will have alcohol content that ranges from 4.7% to 5.4%. There are certain brands that can be at alcohol levels that are stronger than that of wine. This includes beers with contents of 12% alcohol. These typically can only be found at liquor stores.

The world of German breweries is especially varied. There are all sorts of major breweries that not only brew beers for Germany but also for other countries. There are smaller breweries that can be of strong interest to locals. These are microbreweries, just like what can be found in other countries.

Among the most popular breweries in the country include Altbier, Kolsch, Helles, Weizen, Spezial, Export, Rauchbier and Schwarzbier. That's just a handful of the breweries around Germany, as there are several that are even more popular in certain areas of the country than others.

There are many different styles of beer that can be found in this type of imported beer. Even with the limited ingredients ales and lagers alike can be produced along with other types of beer.

That's the world of German beer in a nutshell. Not only does this type of imported beer take pride in its purity but it also come in all different kinds of makes with different levels of alcohol. Its sharp taste and soothing quality makes for an exciting drink for anyone who is interested in beer.
