Beer in Germany

Beer is a major part of German culture. German beer is brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot, which only permits water, hops, and malt as ingredients and stipulated that beers not exclusively using barley-malt, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented. In 2012, Germany ranked third in terms of per-capita beer consumption, behind the Czech Republic and Austria.
