Beer in Germany is a major part of German culture. There are around 1,300 breweries in Germany, more than in any other country except the United States which has 1,500. While the beer market is weaker but more centralized in northern Germany, the south has lots of smaller local breweries. Almost half of all German breweries are in Bavaria.

In total, there are approximately 1300 breweries in Germany producing over 5000 brands of beer. Established in 725 and brewing since 1040, the Benedictine abbey Weihenstephan brewery is reputedly the oldest existing brewery in the world. In 2004 Oettinger replaced Krombacher as the best selling brewery in Germany.
