The earliest documented mention of beer by a German nobleman is the granting of a brewing licence by Emperor Otto II to the church at Liege (now Belgium), awarded in 974. [19] A variety of other beer regulations also existed in Germany during the late Middle Ages, including in Nuremberg in 1293, Erfurt in 1351, and Weißensee in 1434. [20] [21]
Beer (German: Bier pronounced ⓘ) is a major part of German culture. According the Reinheitsgebot (German beer purity law), only water, hops, yeast and malt are permitted as ingredients in its production. [1] Beers not exclusively using barley-malt, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented. [2] [3]

Beer plays a significant role in the German culture, and for many years, German beer was brewed in strict adherence to the Reinheitsgebot, a regulation that permitted only water, hops, yeast, and malt as beer ingredients.

Article 26(1) and (2) of the aforementioned regulation implementing the Biersteuergesetz provides for a system of consumer information in respect of certain beers, even where those beers are sold on draught, when the requisite information must appear on the casks or the beer taps.
The majority of compounds in beer come from the metabolic activities of plants and yeast and so are covered by the fields of biochemistry and organic chemistry. [1] The main exception is that beer contains over 90% water and the mineral ions in the water (hardness) can have a significant effect upon the taste.
The beer itself is of dark brown color. It almost looks like cola, though it develops a light brown foam. Due to the German beer purity law or Deutsches Reinheitsgebot, first established in 1516 Vitamalz cannot be sold in Germany as beer. It must be called malt drink (in German: Malztrunk).
