When considering locations for beer travel, there\u2019s a variety of seasonal special brews produced year-round. In summer, <em>witbier<\/em> (wheat beer) is a low alcohol, refreshing and fruity brew &#8211; or in the winter months, breweries will mix batches of <em>Herfstbok<\/em>, a strong dark beer with a higher alcohol content.

Australians have a strong loyalty to regional brands of beer, with each state or territory claiming their own unique brews &#8211; Sydney-siders favour a true-blue Tooheys New, while a Melbournian might be partial to a Victoria Bitter. Although Foster\u2019s Lager isn\u2019t readily available, it\u2019s still a popular export and the biggest-selling Australian beer on the global market.

The US formed its early drinking practices around traditions of England and the Netherlands, and the colonial era was largely ruled by beer. At the turn of the century, the use of brown glass bottles originated in Wisconsin to prevent harmful sun rays from affecting the quality of the beers. From 1933, Prohibition laws began to gradually ease, and the market rapidly developed after WWII. As it is now, light beer dominates more than half the market share of US beer sales &#8211; popular varieties for export include Bud Light, Coors Light, and full-strength Budweiser.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTENT: <\/strong><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/coffee-around-world\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>5 different ways people enjoy their coffee around the world&nbsp;<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-united-kingdom\"><strong>United Kingdom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2020\/02\/people-drinking-beer-PVFYUST-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"People drinking beer\" class=\"wp-image-18291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/people-drinking-beer-PVFYUST-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/people-drinking-beer-PVFYUST-330x186.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/people-drinking-beer-PVFYUST.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Like its Scandinavian neighbours, the United Kingdom trace their brewing history back to abbeys and monasteries &#8211; but after the Church Reformation in the 1600s, this connection with religious houses was lost sooner than other countries. Since 1971, the <a href=\"https:\/\/camra.org.uk\/about\/who-we-are\">Campaign for Real Ale<\/a> (CAMRA) has encouraged the preservation and revival of traditional ale production. Around 70% of pubs now serve real ale, which has steadily increased its market share.

Ranked fifth in the world for beer consumption by country, dry stout is the national brew. Arthur Guinness established his brewery in 1756, and it remains the world\u2019s largest producer of stout above other international exporters such as Murphy and Beamish. Like other parts of the UK, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/destinations\/europe\/ireland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Ireland<\/a> is placing focus on their microbrewery and craft beer industry to encourage local production.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em><strong>RELATED CONTENT<\/strong>: <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/best-destinations-for-chocolate-tasting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>5 best destinations for chocolate tasting<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-new-zealand\"><strong>New Zealand<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>New Zealand lies in the ideal latitude for the cultivation of barley and hops, which have become popular exports for beer production overseas. <a href=\"https:\/\/nzhops.co.nz\/pages\/innovation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Concentrated breeding programmes<\/a> have been developed to fortify new hop varieties unique to the country, which flag its status as one of the best beer countries in the world for its innovation.

The Weihenstephan brewery, thought to be the oldest existing brewery in the world, has continued to produce beer for almost 1000 years. While Germany surprisingly doesn\u2019t take the top spot for which country drinks the most beer, it has a very relaxed culture around enjoying a beverage or two in public spaces like parks, or while commuting home from work. The most popular domestic beer is light Pilsner, while <em>Bock<\/em>, <em>Doppelbock<\/em> and <em>Eisbock<\/em> are favourites for something stronger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enjoy traditional Bavarian food and sample some of Munich\u2019s best beer when you travel with Trafalgar on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/tours\/best-of-germany-and-austria\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Best of Germany and Austria<\/a> tour &#8211; Prost!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-czech-republic\"><strong>Czech Republic<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Still wondering which country drinks the most beer?

Beer is one of the most important exports in the Czech Republic, and its brewing history dates back to the 6th century. Pilsner type beers originated from the region and Pilsner Urquell is the most famous. Czech bars will often serve beers with much more foam than might be expected in other countries. The most common <em>hladinka-<\/em>style is served with around one quarter froth and <em>ml\u00ecko-<\/em>style pour is ostensibly a mug of pure foam, with just a little beer in the bottom of the glass. Waiting for the foam to subside results in a better tasting beer that is easier on the stomach.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>How will you be quenching your thirst on International Beer Day?
