German term or phrase: Bierkultur
kommt in diesem Text immer wieder vor und klingt nie wirklich gut..... ein paar Beispiele:
Der Preis ist eine Auszeichnung, verliehen durch XY und den Gourmet Guide Gault Millau, die herausragende Bemühungen, Innovationen und die Wahrung und Weiterführung von Tradition auf dem Gebiet der Bier-Genuss-Kultur sowie der Typisch Österreichischen Küche ehrt.

Deshalb werden jene Restaurants oder Gasthäuser ausgezeichnet, die sich um die Pflege der österreichischen Küche besonders verdient gemacht haben. Und da diese Art der Kochkunst untrennbar mit gepflegter Bierkultur verbunden ist, gehen diese Auszeichnungen stets an Restaurants oder Gasthäuser, die Speisen und Bierspezialitäten in vorbildlicher Qualität anbieten.

brewery culture


Explanation:
Bei Bierkultur geht es nicht nur um Trinken, sondern auch um Herstellung von Bier...

We experienced the full range of brewery culture on the trip — lounging in small taverns, spending hours at the bar until closing time, getting to know the bartenders, meeting the owners and brew-masters, touring the brewing facilities and learning a bit of the art that is brewing. If you love beer and love road trips, Oregon is the place for you.

(epicurean/gourmet) beer enjoyment


Explanation:
Wenn Sie mit 'beer enjoyment' arbeiten, koennen Sie 'culture' oder Aehnliches weglassen.

Wenn die Sache noch differenzierter sein soll, koennen Sie noch 'epicurean' bzw 'gourmet' einsetzen - entspricht vollkommen dem Tenor Ihres Textauszugs.

agree  Lori Dendy-Molz: I'd vary the wording too. I think it's important to sprinkle in a "sophisticated" or "refined" now and then.
