No, the beer man in Germany comes to your house and delivers a crate of .5l bottles of beer, and picks them all up the next week with your next delivery. The bottles are washed and are reused (not melted down and recycled).

That - along with the bierautomat - ranks up there with the things I miss most about Germany.

Bierautomat is also common in Japan, luckily!
