free beer
Beer that is served free of charge, usually at festivals, celebrations, or promotional events.

The word is very simply constructed and consists of 'frei' (free, in the sense of free of charge) and 'Bier' (beer). So it literally means 'kostenloses Bier' (free beer).
Das Beste an der Party war das Freibier.
The best thing about the party was the free beer.
'Freibier' is very often used with the impersonal phrase 'es gibt' (there is/there are). The sentence 'Es gibt Freibier!' (There is free beer!) is a typical announcement at festivals.
