Both are grammatically fine [with minor changes]:

There was a 200-million-glass decrease in the consumption of the beer.
There has been a decrease in beer consumption of about 200 million glasses.

There was a 200 million glass decrease in the consumption of the beer.

==============

Might I suggest that the 'the', in bold and underlined, is unneeded/unwarranted.

There may be more to the sentence - ie ..."the beer bought in restaurants". The context of the original does not make it clear.

That's true, Anglika. I'm glad that you've made that clear.
