It violates the strict German purity laws??? Just like the dirty foreigners do??? Now it has to be publically labeled for all to recognize it instantly?
Ach, Mein Gott!!!!
:rolleyes:

Hey, way to get some nationalistic *******ery into a beer thread!
-
Beer was one of the last German products with no artificial ingredients. That's all I have to say.
-
Sugar isn't artificial.
-
"it does not meet the purity standards for German beer established in 1516, which limits the ingredients to malt, water, yeast and hops."
its beer yes, but it should not get the purity standard label,
like so many other beers.
.
-
Actually Holden, refined sugar is kinda artificial. But that wasn't my point.
They slip one ingredient.. which opens the way for more.
-
I know your point is that if there is a law that says what ingredients true beer contains then it can't deveiate from the ingredients and still be called beer.
...Sure sugar goes thru a process to become refined: beer goes thru a process to become beer. Saying you should not have a processed ingredient in order to brew a processed final product seems rather stretched.

Taste good???????
What the hell doesit matter what its called????

Our Beer, Which art in Barrels,
hallowed by thy drink, thy will be drunk,
at home as it is in the pub,
Give us this day our foamy head,
And forgive us our spillage's,
As we forgive those who spill against us,
and lead us not to incarceration,
But deliver us from hangovers,and alco pops
For Thine is the beer,
The bitter and the lager,
Forever and ever, Barmen

Just another reason for me to keep boycotting EU products.
-
That's great logic Funked.
German beer becomes a tad more like every other commercially sold beer in the market --> Funked finds a reason to boycott it. :aok
Do I dare to ask what was the other reason? Other that they are too expensive for you with the weak currency.
-
Well Funkypants you are missing something then.
