minus-squaredfyx@lemmy.helios42.delinkfedilinkarrow-up15·2 年前Well, ackshually akshually - drink German beer. With very few exceptions, it’s only allowed to contain barley, hops, yeast and water. That law has existed in some form for over 500 years.
minus-squareKISSmyOS@feddit.delinkfedilinkarrow-up7·2 年前It still allows using other substances in the production process if they are filtered out afterwards. Which vegans would still reject.
minus-squareflathead@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up4·2 年前A German guy once told me that the original penalty for violating that law was that the brewer was to be drowned in his own beer - to be fair, he was quite drunk at the time, so it might be complete bullshit.

minus-squarePlasticExistence@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-22 年前Only in Bavaria. I brewed beer for many years and am very familiar with the law which hit 500 years old in 2016.
