Interesting... Sometimes I do liqueur of some kinds for my personal use only, currently I'm trying to emulate the Bayley's.
I liked Amstel beer in South Africa, but when tried it here in California I found that it is completely different product with the same name. Also people say that South African Amstel is made according to original traditions, while European beer is similar to American artificial drink.
However I don't mean that modern industry is bad, otherwise the majority of the Earth population would be employed in agriculture, and pollution of ground and atmosphere would be mostly organic.

But something strange is happening there, because from time to time appears these guys with guns and make a blight. I believe that are becoming a bit crazy 😀
As the Gimp said most german breweries stick to it as not doing so would mean losing market share in Germany and that would be the end of their business.
Remember only the czechs drink more beer per head than the germans and that's only because in areas along the Rhine germans drink wine instead.
Beer is not really seen as an alcoholic beverage in Germany but a basic foodstuff. The reason you are allowed to sell non-conforming 'beer' in Germany is because the government made a deal in return allowing (german) makers to sell non-durum wheat pasta in Italy.

And in England, if you go back far enough, beer was a basic foodstuff although it wasn't made with Barley as far as I know.
Of course, when I was a student (in Leeds) beer was a basic foodstuff too 😀

Yeah but I'm talking under the law and to pretty much the present day.
Btw the legal drinking age in Germany for beer, wine etc but not straight spirits is 16 in Germany ie you can legally drink beer two years before you can legally drive a car.
