Re: Beer! (Ramapo Honey beer)

[Guest guest]

This rainy afternoon I read a Daphne duMaurier short story set on Crete; a character who is vaguely presented as a reincarnation of Pan brews beer from spruce needles and ivy.

In college, decades ago, friends and I brewed beer from heaven-knows what, reassured by a chemistry major in our group. I have no idea what it would have tasted like, as every bottle exploded.

If you look at Germany's beer purity law - it is not truly a beer.   The 1516 beer purity law limits beer ingredients to malted grain, hops, yeast and water.

In Italy, one buys GF beer in pharmacies.
