Tried it once, never felt compelled to suffer another. :sick:

Just a thought, but wouldn't it be nice if brewers were compelled to adhere to the German Purity Laws. In other words if you're calling it beer it can only contain water barley and hops.

No, because it limits flavours that beers can contain. For example, a Witbier wouldn't be allowed to use coriander and curacao orange peel.

The German Purity Laws allow wheat to be used.

Perhaps by the current marketing sham. Not originally though, and it was never about beer quality. Most classic British beers would not make the grade.

Weissbiers were allowed to be brewed 4 years after the original law came into place...at a price

In 1520, a mere four years after the passage of the Beer Purity Law, the Dukes of Wittelsbach, nicely ensconced in their cosmopolitan capital of Munich, granted their vassal from the hinterland, Sigismund von Degenberg, the exclusive privilege to brew and sell Weissbier in his home regionââ¬âfor a hefty fee, of course, which the Degenbergs then remitted for decades.

Like I said, not originally. Thanks for the clarification.

At my last job I was part of the social committee, it was up to us to organise social events, Friday beers etc. The reason I volunteered for it was to get a better beer selection in the office on a Friday. Every week I would get a few different beers in, one week it was banana bread. It went like hot cakes and those who had said they loved it and wanted it to be a regular fixture.

I also made a nonsense of your point which implied only the current laws on purity allowed Wheat in the brewing process...
