It’s a well-known fact that the people of Germany love their beer. So much so, that they have a purity law, meaning there are only three ingredients allowed into their famed creations. With this in mind, it’s only right that you culture-savvy students make it your business to try some of Germany’s purest pints for German Beer Day (23rd April!).

Luckily for you, the Bavarian love of pure beer has taken London by storm, so you don’t have to go all the way to Germany to sample it. We know exactly where to find these spots across the capital.
