The most popular beer brand in Germany is Krombacher from Krombach. Other leading names include Beck's and Warsteiner. All three brands produce a variety of beers and beer-based drinks, as well as non-alcoholic beer.
Beer consumption in Germany has actually been falling during the last decade, compared to constantly rising levels from 1950 to 1980. This may be due to various reasons: changing drinking trends, the introduction of new drinks on the beverage market, both alcoholic and not, as well as health considerations. However, despite sliding consumption and decreasing beer sales, the German beer industry is still thriving, with brewery numbers in the country continuing to rise. German Beer Day is observed on April 23.
While forecasts for the industry revenue of manufactured beer do not show big leaps in figures in the 2020s, they do not show dramatic falls either. In 2022, revenue is predicted to amount to almost 11.2 billion U.S. dollars.

The most popular type of beer is clearly Pils/Pilsner Brauart (which is really a Bavarian variety, not Czech, but that is an entirely new quora topic), although Wheat Beer (Weizen/Hefeweizen) is more popular in Southern Germany.
For two centuries we've brewed our beer using only the best ingredients, and following the renowned German Beer Purity laws. It's no wonder the distinct barrel-fresh taste of our Bitburger Premium Pils is a firm favourite amongst beer fans, and the most popular draft beer in Germany!

Some imagine Gambrinus as a man who has an enormous capacity for drinking beer. Personages theorised as the basis for the Gambrinus character include the legendary ancient Germanic king Gambrivius (or Gampar) son of Mers (Marsus), John the Fearless of Burgundy (1371–1419) and John I, Duke of Brabant ( c. 1252–1294).
When it comes to ales, Germany is most famous for their wheat beers. Hefeweizen is the most common—poured into towering vase-like glasses, this cloudy southern German specialty is all about the yeast. Heck, it's right there in the name—hefeweizen translates to "yeast wheat" in German.
Pilsener is a pale lager with a light body and a more prominent hop character, is the most popular style, holding around two-thirds of the market. It has an alcohol content of 4.5–5% ABV and 11–12° Plato.
