German Beer

Beer.de is one of the best sites offering info on various aspects of beer in Germany.
The Germans are known to the whole world as a true beer-loving nation. And there is no exaggeration here! 

Beer's history dates back to prehistoric ancient times when the Sumarians discovered the fermentation process (about 6000 years ago). Babylonians and Egyptians developed the art of brewing beer, and passed it to Romans who considered it to be a barbarian drink. The Teutons, the ancient Germans, regarded beer as a sacrifice to the gods. They started producing the first proof beer in the early Hallstatt Period (about 800 B.C.). In the Middle Ages beer brewing turned into a favorite occupation of monks who served it with their meals. 

The art of brewing beer owes much to monasteries where it was developed scientifically. Then began the flavoring of beer, first in Brabant monasteries, which gave the Brabant king, Gambrinus, the title of patron saint of beer. Besides its outstanding peculiar taste, beer is also highly estimated as an economic factor.

Germany is the country where beer is greatly praised and served everywhere. So prost! Raise your Beer Stein! Enjoy a great German beer! Want to advertise on this page? Click here.
