Germany is the birthplace of the iconic lager beer, which originated in Bavaria in the 1400s and then spread all around the world. In fact, beer has always been such an important part of the local culture that in 1516, the Bavaria Duke Wilhelm IV issued the ‘Reinheitsgebot’, a beer purity law that stipulates that only water, barley and hops were allowed to be used as key ingredients for beer. The country exported $1.38 billion of the alcoholic beverage in 2021, making it the 4th largest exporter of beer in the world. Jägermeister is Germany’s most popular alcoholic drink after beer.
