Beer has been enjoyed around the world for thousands of years and is one of the oldest human-made beverages. Whether it’s an ale, lager, or pilsner, German beer is world-renowned for its craftsmanship and excellence. Behind every great beer is high-quality manufacturing and precision equipment. German brewing equipment manufacturers are also well known around the globe for providing cutting-edge solutions for the brewing process. Read more about the art of beer making!

This outstanding reputation for quality is celebrated annually on April 23 when German Beer Day commemorates the German Beer Purity Law of 23 April 1516, which states that beer should consist of only water, malt, hops, and yeast.
