1.0 Introduction Beer is an immensely popular beverage, but it is one that is associated with a particular country. German beer in fact is seen as the king of all beers. Around the world, Germany's beer is one of the most respected varieties, in part due to the strict legislation that governs brewing, but also because it seems that the German people take great pains to brew a good beer. It is customary and part of their social structure. The majority of people in Germany socialize in pubs, unlike the United States where bars and not as popular. Although people go out to bars, the social structure in the U.S. is not conducive to alcohol, particularly in today's society where drinking is shunned to an extent. That is not the case in Germany. German beer tastes good, but a student writing on this subject has to understand that beer is not just a beverage, but a part of German culture. People frequent pubs in Germany and while that happens across the world, it seems that in Germany, the local pub is very significant to the culture of the people. While Germany not only services beer--it makes it--the number of breweries is not so prolific anymore. When compared with the United States today, there are less German breweries. In fact, the amount of U.S. breweries had exceeded that of Germany, even though Germany is the country with the stronger brewing tradition (Carroll, Swaminathan & Anand, 2000). Still, Germany boasts the highest per capita consumption of beer (2000). In 1997, Germany claimed 1,234 (2000, p.714) breweries. By 1999, the number of American breweries had increased to 1,414 (2000, p.714). While that is the case, Germany continues to brew its beer under German law and with a tradition that is consistent with its heritage.
