Bavarian Purity Law
The most famous brewing regulation is the decree issued by William IV in 1516 for the entire Duchy of Bavaria. It stated:
“In particular, we want to ensure that henceforth no more ingredients than barley, hops and water are used for the beers served in our cities and markets as well as in the countryside.”
Since 1906, German law has stipulated that the only ingredients that may be used in beer production are water, hops, malt and yeast.
