Specialty beer
In addition to standard beers like bottom-fermented Pils beer, special and craft beers are also enjoying increased popularity. In Germany, this applies in particular to top-fermented wheat beer which started its triumphal march in Bavaria.

Brewing technology from GEA plays a growing role in the production of these special beers.
