One may order: de Zwei Bier, bitte! Two beers, please! (Nota bene: In many places of the German language area, this is not a common order; instead one often specifies de Pils, de Weißbier, de Kölsch, etc.) The marked plural de Biere is used to mean different kinds of beer. de Pils und Kölsch sind beliebte deutsche Biere. Pils and Kölsch are popular German beers.
