Bavarian beer - Unique world wide

Whereas elsewhere beer is seen as a drink of pleasure in Bavaria it is considered more as a basic food (although we do of course still enjoy it!). It’s hardly surprising when you look at the statistics: on average a Bavarian consumes from birth to the grave some 150 litres (40 gallons) of beer per year putting Bavarians right at the top of the beer consuming list of states in Germany.

For further information about Bavarian beer, stories, breweries and beer calendar visit the English website of the Bavarian Brewers Federation.
