500 Years Reinheitsgebot:

 
So here I am again...

As some of you know I had a lot of stress in my private life and though things are still not too grand but when I today stumbled across a nice 7 bottle gift pack from breweries I had never heard of, I decided it is time to write again. The 7part series I will start from tomorrow on will all be from this nice package I got me today. It even included a glass and a semi nifty replica of the Reinheitsgebot... the law that imho has done bad for craft beer in Germany. The TLDR version of this law is that the only ingredients allowed in beer are water, barley and hops as well as yeast to brew. Apparently some see it as a marketing thing and proudly mark their beers as according to that standard, even when brewing outside of Germany. So in 1516 some Bavarians.... the Rednecks of Germany... started their crusade for the purrrrity of Beerrrr and we still have it.
Alas pardon my ramblings. So I went to get the pack basically because it will give me 7 new log ins in Untappd and because it was as good as any reason to start writing for you again.

The beerses included look interesting and going by my old 'the stuff I like least first' rule, I will start it off with a Yeastie Beastie because: well I'm not fond of yeast beer. So maybe this will get my mouth watering.

Look forward to tomorrow peeps... The Beer-afficionado is back.
