List Of Brewing Companies In Germany
This is a list of brewing companies in Germany. Beer plays a significant role in the German culture, and for many years, German beer was brewed in strict adherence to the '' Reinheitsgebot'', a regulation that permitted only water, hops, yeast, and malt as beer ingredients. This law also stipulated that beers not exclusively using barley-malts, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented. Since 1993, the brewing process has been regulated by the Provisional German Beer Law, which allows a broader range of ingredients and additives in top-fermenting beers. However, these additives must be completely removed, or at least as much as possible, from the final product.

Dunkel (), or Dunkles (), is a word used for several types of dark German lager. ''Dunkel'' is the German word meaning "dark", and dunkel beers typically range in color from amber to dark reddish brown. They are characterized by their smooth, malty flavor. In informal terms, such as when ordering at a bar, "dunkel" is likely to mean whatever dark beer the bar has on tap, or sells most of; in much of north and western Germany, especially near Düsseldorf, this may be Altbier. In Bavaria, dunkel, along with helles, is a traditional style brewed in Munich and popular throughout Bavaria. With alcohol concentrations of 4.5% to 6.0% by volume, dunkels are weaker than doppelbocks, another traditional dark Bavarian beer. Dunkels are produced using Munich malts, which give the dunkel its color. Other malts or flavors may also be added. Many dunkels have a distinctive malty flavor that comes from a special brewing technique called decoction mashing. Most commonly, dunkel beers are dark l ...
