German Beer Day

German Beer Day is an annual holiday created in honor of German beer. This is a collective name for heady drinks that are produced in Germany. This beer is valued all over the world because of its unique set of flavor and aroma features. Let’s learn more about it on this day! It is celebrated on April 23.

History

The history of German beer is lost in the depths of centuries. The most famous examples of the drinks that then gave rise to the development of brewing in the country are the beers produced in small quantities in the monasteries. The monks themselves developed unique recipes, which were then used to brew excellent beer. The recipes were kept in the strictest of secrecy and were passed down through the generations.

A significant event that led to an increase in the number of beer producers in the country occurred on April 23, 1516, when the “Pure Brewing Law” was issued. It protected consumer rights and obliged brewers to prepare beer only on the basis of natural ingredients, which included water, barley, and hops. Today German brewers still adhere to the requirements of this medieval law.
