Beer Origin

October 31, 2008

Gossip from “the beer guy” at Whole Foods: France food labeling laws don’t require beer makers to list ingredients used. Therefore, if you’re vegan or Kosher or have food allergies, it’s not a good idea to drink French beers.

According to Ed, German beers, on the otherhand, are required to only have four ingredients: water, yeast, hops, and barley malt. (Wheat beers can have wheat.) Thus, German beers are vegan.

Thought I’d share :)

    I try to buy locally as much as possible but there are exceptions. German beer just might become one of those.

    Beer !!! UGH !! I never understood the love of beer. and i am a guy!!

    Vodka is the way to go :) just add a shot of vodka on some ice cubes, a little sprite, a splash of sweet &sour. and voila!! you got the best tasting alcoholic drink in the world.

    But to each their own i guess :).

Got something to say?
