Glühbier

Glühbier is a German version of mulled beer. This warming, wintertime drink is typically made with some type of dark and malty beer such as Bock or Doppelbock. The base is then heated (but never boiled) before other ingredients are added.


The most common additions include cinnamon, cloves, star anise, nutmeg, sugar, and usually some type of fruit juice and often a shot of some strong spirit such as rum or brandy. Although not as popular as mulled wine, this warm drink is commonly found on Central European Christmas markets, though it is still mostly associated with Germany.
