Germany sees beer sales sink to 30-year low as consumers cut spending


FRANKFURT, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Germany's beer sales fell to about 7.8 billion liters in 2025, down 6.0 percent compared with the previous year, as weak consumer sentiment weighed on demand, data released Monday by the country's Federal Statistical Office (Destatis) showed.

The office said the decline marked the steepest year-on-year drop since records began in 1993, with sales falling below 8 billion liters for the first time.
