"Heute ist der Tag des Bieres", The Day of Beer, a celebration of the world's oldest food-related law, the German Purity Law of April 23, 1516.
Something beer hadn't always been, as in the Middle Ages German brewers used everything from herbs and tree bark to chimney soot and oxen gall-bladder bile, collected from the nearest butcher, to flavor and increase the intoxicating effect, of their beers.
These days there are over 5,000 different German beers, and it would take 13.1/2 years of drinking a different one every day to taste them all.
And now for some German Beer, Fast Facts ...... for example why is that when ordering a beer in Germany you should raise one thumb?
