Usage notes
As is common with beverages in German, the unchanged plural Bier can be used after numerals in the sense of “quantities of beer” (glasses, bottles, cans). One may order:
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 Pils, Weißbier, Kölsch, etc.)
The marked plural Biere is used to mean different kinds of beer.
"Bier" can also mean "nut" or "bonce" (as in head) when used in Luxembourgish slang: i.e.: "wann's de dech net gëss, kriss de eng op d'Bier!" meaning "if you don't behave, you'll be hit in the head!"
