Germans take their beer seriously. Germany is the world’s 4th largest beer-drinking country with a capita consumption of 104.7 liters. The German Beer Purity Law, or otherwise referred to as Reinheitsgebot in German, is a set of laws established to regulate the ingredients used in the brewing of beer. The laws were applicable in Germany and the former Holy Roman Empire. The most well-defined and the original German Beer Purity Law version was first used in 1516 in Bavaria. The modern regulations differ from the Bavarian regulations

Ingredients Used In Brewing In Germany
When the Bavarian orders were adopted in 1516, the only ingredients allowed in the beer manufacturing were water, hop, and barley. At the time, the role of yeast in fermentation was unknown and was therefore excluded in beer brewing. However, with time, the law was modified, leading to the addition of a number of other ingredients could be used to brew and add flavor to the beer.

History Of The German Beer Purity Law
The predecessor of the Reinheitsgebot was adopted in 1487 in the duchy of Munich. The Munich law was adopted across Bavaria in 1516. The Bavarian Laws of 1516 on the regulation of beer making established a basis for the rule of beer making that gradually spread throughout Germany. The Law did not only regulate the ingredients used, but also the prices at which the beers were to be sold. The prices were regulated in order to manage the profits obtained by the beer vendors. Bavaria pushed for the adoption of the law in all of Germany during the Germany Unification of 1871. The law was rejected by brewers and some consumers who were not residents of Bavaria. In 1906, the law was applied all over Germany without much rejection from the people. Other than Germany, the Greeks and the Chinese voluntarily adopted the Bavarian Laws.

Penalty For Defying The Regulations
In March 1987, the German Beer Purity Law was described as protectionist by the ECJ (European Court of Justice). The ruling allowed Germany to import beer that contained a few other ingredients. Despite the new importation regulation, Germany still maintained the ingredients that could be used in the manufacturing of its local beer. The German Unification in 1990 was followed by a brewery in Neuzelle that sold black beer which contained sugar. The brewery company which was known as Neuzeller Kloster Brewery was asked not to use sugar as an ingredient. However, after a series of negotiations, the company was permitted to sell its beer on a condition that it is not labeled it as beer but instead label it as Schwarzer Abt (Black Abbot)

Modern Modifications To The Bavarian Law
The provisional Beer Law of 1993 was passed to ease the strict rules of the German Beer Purity Law. The law is more of a modification of the German Beer Purity Law. The new regulations accommodated water, hops, malted barley, yeast, hop extract, and malted grains. The laws also accommodated the used of pure sugar for coloring and flavoring of the beer. A fining agent like PVPP was also allowed as an ingredient for the brewing of beers in the country. A 2015 court ruling allowed the use of other ingredients and flavoring as long as the product is not labeled as “beer.”

Why go to “his” joint when it opens?
Let the Tranny’s and Gays support his bar.
And before long it will be known as a Tranny and Gay Bar.

“”His bar will just be known as the bar that all the LGQTXYZ people go.””

That very well could happen, if the customers who stop going are replaced with alphabet people showing support, the slow change over into becoming a gay bar could happen.

Garth could have a Tranny night. Best dressed Tranny gets a Free Case of Bud Light.
He could have a Gay Night too. Queerest of them all wins a Case of Bud Light too.
He could bring in Dylan Mulvaney on Opening Night. That would be a big Crowd
Hit.

Garth Brooks raised the ire of some country music fans after saying he'd serve "every brand of beer" at his new bar

And he lies about other things.

It is impossible for him to serve "every brand of beer", the bar would have to be the size of a football field. And any number of beers are served only in the area where they are brewed.

So, way to shoot yourself in the foot Chris! And for essentially no reason.

I know of a few conservative country stars, like John Rich and Aaron Lewis.

For a guy worth $400M he’s either not very savvy, or an in your face liberal. The correct response would have been, we’ll stock and sell the beers our customers want. Easy. Doesn’t offend anyone but says a lot. Best bar in Nashville anyway is Kid Rock’s place.

Garth Brooks needs to collaborate on an album with the Dixie Chicks.
