Beer is the most famous drink in Germany. There are many different types of German beer, from the lightest to the darkest and strongest. In addition, in every region of the country you will find beers with different flavours and styles.

We recommend you try Weissbier beer , which is a wheat beer, or Pilsner beer , which is a light, blonde beer.

If you are a wine lover, we recommend you try Riesling, one of the most popular white wines.

El mulled wine

During the winter months, Glühwein is a very popular drink in Germany. It is a hot spiced drink made with red wine, cinnamon, cloves and oranges. 

It is often served at Christmas markets and is perfect for warming up on cold days.
