Birra - a nickname for beer in Spain, as well as in several other Spanish speaking countries. It seems to be a double loan - to Spanish from Italian, but to Italian from German Bier. It can be seen in puns in Spanish taking the place of "vida" (life), e.g. Hay birra después de la muerte (There is beer after death) and El sentido de la birra (The meaning of beer).
