Every year on 23 April, we celebrate National Beer Day in Germany. This was started in 1994 to mark the German Reinheitsgebot (German Purity Requirement), which dates back to 1516.
The International Beer Day, on the other hand, is set for 2 August 2019.
It is recommended to drink certain types of beer from certain kinds of glasses to bring out the flavor.
- Tulpe: most suited for Pils and Schwarzbier
- Kölschstange: for Kölsch beer (dialect for Cologne) served in a tiny glass of just 0.2 liter
- Weißbierglas: for Weizenbier
- Flöte: for light Edelbier (select beer)
- Schwenker: especially for Dunkel- und Spezialbier
- Glaskrug: universal usage for all types of beer
Prost!
“Im Himmel gibt’s kein Bier, darum trinken wir es hier!” 🙂
