Germans Intake of Beer is Lessening

Consumption of beer in Germany, which has been progressively waning over the last decade, was a tad lower again last year, official data pointed on Monday.

The federal statistics office Destatis calculated that German breweries sold a total 98.2 million hectolitres of beer in 2011, 0.1 percent less than in 2010.
