Travel around the world through glasses of beer.

Beer is sold everywhere in the world, from fancy restaurants to sidewalk bars and seaside cafes, in bottles, cans, and even by the glass. However, not everywhere will the servers speak English and understand your requests.

Below are ways to say "Please give me a glass/bottle of beer" in various languages, along with the best beer from each country. Save these tips; they might be very helpful on your future travels.

Australia

You need to say: "A schooner (or a jug/a pot/a pony), please."

- You will receive beer glasses of different sizes, depending on your choice. The sizes (schooner/jug/pot/pony) will also vary slightly in volume between states. For example, if you order a schooner, you will get a 425ml glass in most states, but in South Australia, you will only receive a 285ml glass. One of the popular beer brands here is XXXX.

Virtue

You need to say: "Ein Bier, bitte".

It's difficult to name the best beer brand in this land of refreshing cold beers. In Germany, people drink beer regardless of the season, at any time of day, at festivals, at beer museums, or simply during everyday meals.

It is estimated that there are around 1,200 breweries across the country, with the majority concentrated in southern states such as Bavaria and the Franconia region, centered near Munich and Bamberg. Therefore, many people call a trip to this area a "beer" tour.

Alternatively, you can also choose to visit Germany during beer festivals to immerse yourself in the fun, lively, and friendly atmosphere. Major beer festivals include: Fasching (in Bavaria) in February, Starkbierfest (in Munich) in March, Schützenfeste (in Hanover) in July, Oktoberfest (in Munich) from September to October, Cannstatter Volksfest (in Stuttgart) in October, and more.

Visiting museums to learn about the inseparable beer-drinking habit in German culture is also a good idea. Famous museums include the Beer Museum in Dortmund, the Beer Museum in Lüneburg, or the Schwaebisches Beer Museum in Stuttgart.

You need to say: "Qǐng gěi wǒ yībēi píjiǔ".

- The best beer: Tsingtao, also known as Qingdao beer. Tsingtao beer was produced by Germans and British in Qingdao city from 1903 and was first served at a kung fu match in late 1904.

According to the producers, this beer is made from spring water from Mount Lao in Shandong Province, about 30km east of Qingdao.

Today, Tsingtao beer is the most popular beer in China and is also the country's main export brand.
