There are different opinions about the origin of beer. A reliable statement is that farmers in continental Europe always pile up wheat in granaries after harvesting. These simple granaries often make the wheat in the granary wet because of the rain leaking from the roof, so they begin to germinate and ferment.

Germans regard beer as an important seasoning in cooking. For example, stewed eel with beer.

Tender, smooth and delicious, it is a famous dish at the German state banquet. German beer soup is world-famous. The climate in Germany is cold, and everyone likes to drink it in the cold winter, with endless aftertaste. The preparation process is as follows: after mixing potato powder and beer into slurry, add beer and cook until the slurry is completely dissolved in beer; In addition, beer is mixed with lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon to make a pot of soup. After the two pots of soup are cooked, they can be combined and poured into a large pot and stirred evenly. When guests come, they will treat them with this soup, just as Asians treat their guests with tea and Americans treat their guests with coffee. After the beer is boiled, all its alcohol components have evaporated, leaving only the fragrance, so it has become a unique beverage.
