Exploring Germany, and the world, one beer at a time
It’s not 100% clear but there are said to be between 5,000 and 7,000 different beers in Germany, brewed in around 1,300 breweries.
We’re going to review as many of them as possible.
There are over 300 breweries in Denmark (remember, they only have a population of 6 million, so that’s a lot! We will try and get through as many of those as possible too. Their IPAs are something else!
Getting stuck in Oberfranken
Oberfranken (“Upper Franconia” doesn’t sound right!), in northern Bavaria, has 20 breweries per 100k capita (200 breweries for their 1 million residents) and produces over 1,000 different beers.
Bamberg, the little Franconian city of 70,000 people shown in the pic above, is known as Germany’s beer capital, with 11 working breweries producing 50 different beers. There are 53 breweries In the greater Bamberg municipality and 300 more nearby making it harder to make this a travel blog.
More beers every day.
