In this new episode, I sit down with Tyler to talk about the history of the German Beer Purity Law. What is it, why does it exist, and does it even matter anymore? All great questions that I hope we actually covered.
Alcohol and religion seem to have an interesting relationship; during the Middle Ages and then some, monks would unknowingly brew beer and hand it out to travelers because drinking water from a river could legitimately give you a disease that would kill you. While brewers didn't know about yeast and its impact in beer making until much later, brewers throughout history would continue to make alcohol.
Tune for some interesting stories, and beer. Because God and beer are good.
