German breweries are producing record amounts of non-alcoholic beer in 2025, driven by a shift in consumer habits toward alcohol-free beverages, according to Deutsche Welle.

Germany’s brewing industry is adapting to changing consumer preferences: in 2025, more non-alcoholic beer is being brewed than ever before, Deutsche Welle reports, citing industry data. Younger consumers in particular are increasingly choosing alcohol-free alternatives.

At the same time, a top court is reviewing a Bavarian law that allows police to intervene before a concrete threat emerges. The regulation is under scrutiny, and a ruling could have far-reaching consequences for the state’s security framework.
