Excerpt: Beer in Romania comes from the long tradition of Romanian brewing, being introduced in Transylvania by the German colonists (Transylvanian Saxons ) and in Moldavia by cultural connections with Poland .A national association of beer with mititei came into existence during the 1877 Independence War of Romania and after that it saw a spread of beer pubs throughout the Romanian Kingdom . The beer pubs (ber rii ) became a place of social and business meetings for the Romanian urban middle-class. Currently, Romanians are amongst the heaviest beer drinkers in the world, with an annual consumption of over 100 litres per capita in 2007. Romanian law considers beer and wine to be foodstuffs and therefore they are t subject to the usual tariffs and restrictions imposed upon alcoholic beverages.The word beer in Romanian (bere ) is derived from German Bier (itself an early loan from Latin biber ), but there is also an obsolete regional word olovin, of Slavic origin.Bere Ursus (Ursus Beer) truck delivering in RomaniaRomanian beer brands A number of Romanian beers are produced: Some brands aim specifically at the lower end of the market, and are usually sold in 2-liter PET bottles.
