Beer as Barometer of German Prosperity in 1920s
Berlin reports show beer consumption fell after World War I but rose steadily toward 1929, signaling economic stabilization. In 1924-25 Germans drank 40.7 million hectoliters, below prewar 68.5 million, rising to 55.2 million by 1928-29. Per capita use grew from 65 to 87 liters, while taxes rose yet affordability improved with higher wages and luxury goods access. The finding comes from the Dawes plan era revenue commissioner, linking beer to broader economic recovery.
