In Germany 1,000,000 pints of beer are consumed daily.

Is this present continuous or past?
It is ongoing daily, so present but has already happened daily?

1 answer

"are consumed" = present continuous

It happened in the past and is happening in the present and will continue into the future.

If it happened in the past and continues to the present, you could rephrase like this:
In Germany, 1,000,000 pints of beer have been consumed.
However, the rephrasing loses the future aspect of the original.
