>>Originally, Pearl was brewed in Germany by Kaiser–Beck Brewery. They still make Becks beer, which I dislike. It may be Germany’s number one export but they can keep it! :)

>Did you mean export as in selling to foreign countries or Export the way it is brewed ?
>Becks is firmly and high in the tier below the 3 biggest brands - places 4 to 7 or 8 - but I had no idea they were export king - of either kind.

For many years Beck's has been advertising on United States television that it is Germany's number 1 export beer. I have not seen an ad since 2011 on that topic but the internet is not really the source of all knowledge. :) The ad refered to selling the bottled beer around the world, and they claimed to sell more than any other German beer outside of Germany.

I have not seen my brother in law (who is German) and his German friends drink Becks and I have been with these guys for 50 years.

I can think of six German beers I like but Beck's is not one of them! :)
