Was that an intentional cultural mixup? My brain just stopped working after reading it, because of how little sense it made.

In Germany, you are legally allowed to buy beer and wine at age 16. The result is that most teenagers tend to stick for lower-percentage alcohol and don't go all-in for the hard stuff.
Yes, but not in pints, and not at pubs. That's England, not Germany.
Translation convention.
Pub is just the best English translation for 'Kneipe', and whether you drink a UK pint or half a litre of beer doesn't make too much of a difference.
