One of the different things people in Germany are known for is beer. Beer is an important part of their culture and heritage, as well as over thirteen breweries located across the country. As for individual beer consumption, the Germans followed only the Czechs and the Irish. The history of German brewing is from the beginning of the nation when monks began trying to brew around 1000 A.D. World leaders eventually begin to enact the law on beer production as beer production begins to gain momentum. The most famous and important part of Germanic brewing came in 1516 with the Bavarian Reinheitsgebot, or standard of purity. Hops, barley, and water are the only ingredients that should be legally included in beer. Reinheitsgebot is the oldest food regulation in the world and remains unchanged for about five centuries. Yeast is the only ingredient in the list of essential ingredients. The leaven found naturally in the air was what the producers used in the past. Bavarian breweries are soon regarded as high-quality breweries because of the strict quality standards that follow the requirement of purity. As the popularity of Bavarian breweries spread throughout the country, other producers began to follow the proclamation again.

Originally built of stone with pewter lids, steins are growing in popularity. Steins began to be fully produced with pewter about 300 years as the pewter guild grew.
