Beer

German police were hunting Wednesday for thieves who made off with 10 truckloads of beer while the country was distracted by World Cup football fever.
      
"We're following up on two or three leads," said a police spokeswoman from the western city of Krefeld, where the pallets of beer were stolen from a warehouse some time between last Thursday evening and Monday morning.

Bulgarians are lucky to drink some of the cheapest beers in the world at an average price of USD 0.78 per bottle.

The country ranks 10th worldwide in terms of beer prices, however beer consumption in Bulgaria is low, as an average Bulgarian would spend USD 119.81 a year, according to a survey of FinancesOnline comparing beer prices around the world.

Kosovars by and large are not big beer drinkers. They drink 13 litres per person on average per year- compared to roughly 150 litres consumed by Czechs in the same period of time.

But for five nights, concluding on Tuesday, the centre of Pristina was awash in all things beer for the fourth annual Beerfest. Organizers estimated that 10,000 people came through on each night.
