These beers, which are characterized by regionality and a love of experimentation, are usually only produced in small quantities and are often served directly on site in breweries and bars. With their creative ideas and constantly new variants, the craft beer brewers succeed in creating very enjoyable and surprising beers. Although the market share of craft beers in Germany has so far only been around one percent, the demand for these beers documents the growing interest of consumers in beer variety and in brewing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"inline-post clearfix\"><div class=\"see-also byline\">See Also<\/div><div id=\"block-wrap-14221\" class=\"block-wrap-native block-wrap block-wrap-23 block-css-14221 block-wrap-classic columns__m--1 elements-design-1 block-ani block-skin-0 tipi-box block-wrap-thumbnail ppl-m-1 clearfix\" data-id=\"14221\" data-base=\"0\"><div class=\"tipi-row-inner-style clearfix\"><div class=\"tipi-row-inner-box contents sticky--wrap\"><div class=\"block block-23 clearfix\"><article class=\"tipi-xs-12 clearfix with-fi ani-base tipi-xs-typo split-1 split-design-1 loop-0 preview-thumbnail preview-23 elements-design-1 post-17358 post type-post status-publish format-standard has-post-thumbnail hentry category-food-en tag-culinary tag-drinks-en tag-food-en tag-highlight-en\" style=\"--animation-order:0\"><div class=\"preview-mini-wrap clearfix\"><div class=\"mask\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/en\/mixed-drinks-germany\/\" class=\"mask-img\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load  wp-post-image\" alt=\"Three people toast with different drinks over a set table\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-900x900.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-100x100.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load  wp-post-image\" alt=\"Three people toast with different drinks over a set table\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-293x293.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-390x390.jpg 390w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-585x585.jpg 585w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/glasses-wine-toasting-party_Credit_UgisBralens-shutterstock-900x900.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 100px) 100vw, 100px\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div><div class=\"meta\"><div class=\"byline byline-2 byline-cats-design-1\"><div class=\"byline-part cats\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/en\/food-en\/\" class=\"cat\">Food<\/a><\/div><span class=\"byline-part separator separator-date\">&middot;<\/span><span class=\"byline-part date\"><time class=\"entry-date published dateCreated flipboard-date\" datetime=\"2025-03-04T10:20:33+01:00\">4.

Some are even based on old or newly interpreted recipes. An example of this is the <strong>Berliner Weisse<\/strong>. The sour beer already admired by Napoleon&#8217;s troops as the <strong>&#8220;champagne of the north&#8221;<\/strong>. With re-cultivated wild yeast, it inspires beer connoisseurs not only in the capital region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example is the unfiltered cellar or so-called <strong>Zwickl beer,<\/strong> which is becoming increasingly popular. The sample that the master brewer took from the storage tank before filtering was originally called Zwickl beer. Nowadays, it is offered as a beer specialty by numerous breweries throughout Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Zwickl beer, a German beer that is becoming increasingly popular\" class=\"wp-image-11113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-883x589.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Zwickl beer, a German beer that is becoming increasingly popular\" class=\"wp-image-11113\" srcset=\"https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-883x589.jpg 883w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1155x770.jpg 1155w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-370x247.jpg 370w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-770x513.jpg 770w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-293x195.jpg 293w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke-1400x934.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/funkygermany.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/zwickel-beer_patrick-pahlke.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image: Patrick Pahlke<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Germany, a world-renowned art of brewing has developed over the centuries.
