Germany produces more than 5,000 varieties of beer and has about 1,300 breweries in country.



So have you tasted all 5000 varieties? :hicks

HAHAHAHA :D :D :D



Oh well, not all but most of them over the years! *hicks* :hicks



:D You know, under German law (officially), Beer is considered BASIC NUTRITION and it is NOT allowed to add anything else than the 3 main ingredients: Malt OR Barley, Hops and pure water.



Every brewery has to abide to the "Reinheitsgebot" (purity requirement), disposed in April 1516 by Duke Wilhelm IV. of Bavaria :) Here are the words, German brewers have to do an oath on:





Quote:
Wir verordnen, setzten und wollen mit dem Rat unserer Landschaft, daß forthin im Fürstentum Bayern sowohl auf dem Lande, wie auch in den Städten und Märkten, von Michaeli bis Georgi eine Maß (bayrische = 1,069 Liter) oder ein Kopf (halbkugelförmiges Geschirr für Flüssigkeiten = nicht ganz ein Maß) Bier für nicht mehr als einen Pfennig Münchener Währung und von Georgi bis Michaeli die Maß für nicht mehr als 2 Pfennig derselben Währung, der Kopf für nicht mehr als 3 Heller (Heller = gewöhnlich ein halber Pfennig) bei Androhung unten angeführter Strafe gegeben und ausgeschenkt werden soll.



Wo aber einer nicht Märzen-, sondern anderes Bier brauen oder sonstwie haben würde, soll er es keineswegs höher als um einen Pfennig die Maß ausschenken und verkaufen. Ganz besonders wollen wir, daß forthin allenthalben in unseren Städten, Märkten und auf dem Lande zu keinem Nier mehr Stücke als allein Gersten, Hopfen und Wasser verwendet und gebraucht werden soll. Wer diese Anordnung wissentlich übertritt und nicht einhält, dem soll von seiner Gerichtsobrigkeit zur Strafe dieses Faß Bier, so oft es vorkommt, unnachsichtig weggenommen werden.



Wo jedoch ein Wirt von einem Bierbräu in unseren Städten, Märkten oder auf dem Lande einen, zwei oder drei Eimer (=60 Maß) Bier kauft und wieder ausschenkt an das gemeine Bauernvolk, soll ihm allein und sonst niemanden erlaubt und unverboten sein, die Maß oder den Kopf Bier um einen Heller teurer als oben vorgeschrieben ist , zu geben und auszuschenken .





Gegeben von Wilhelm IV. Herzog in Bayern am Georgitag zu Ingolstadt



Anno 1516

This is the original document from 1516 (today in the Bayerische Staatsarchiv, Munich)







If you translate the words with a online translator, be aware that this is midage German which uses words and grammatics, which even sound strange for modern Germans, however it IS still understandable :)

I've gotta agree with you, Paul. I guess they call it "bitters" for a reason.



I sure do miss that German beer. You can get some of it in the states, but not my beloved Schoefferhofer Hefeweizen. *sigh*
