Germany's beer reputation is well established due to brands like Beck's and Warsteiner, alongside its iconic Oktoberfest celebration. The Reinheitsgebot law emphasizes purity, allowing only water, hops, and barley, though has evolved to include more grains.
"Oktoberfest can come in two different types being either the traditional Märzen or the Festbier, which is the main beer style at the modern German Oktoberfest tents. These styles fit well with the modern drinker because they're designed for drinkability while maintaining a sense of complexity and flavor depth."
