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.
Say Germany, think 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.
Cheers!
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.
