In Ingolstadt, Germany Just over 500 years ago, in the year 1516, the Duke of Bavaria, Duke Wilhelm IV issued a decree known as the Reinheitsgebot, often referred to as the Purity Law. The new rule applied to the production of beer, establishing strict rules as to what could be used in the brewing process, the intent being to stop the use of all manner of cheap, inferior ingredients that were leading to terrible beer.<\/p>\n

Under the Reinheitsgebot, beer could be made using just three ingredients: water, barley, and hops. Later, as a better understanding of the fermentation process developed, yeast was also added to the list, and for centuries many brewers cleaved closely to this Renaissance-era rule and brewed beer using only those four ingredients.<\/p>\n

Flash forward to our day, and you’ll find the Reinheitsgebot being broken all over the place. Now, on the one hand, we have examples of “trespasses” that are so much for the good, such as the wild beers made by Dogfish Head Brewery that include ingredients ranging from cocoa to mangos to honey to salt. We also have plenty of breweries cranking out cheap beer that would have had Duke Wilhelm IV crying foul, if not sending out pike-wielding Landsknechts to dispatch the offenders.<\/p>\n
