This must be one of the best thread rapes so far... Morten dammit. You know very well there's only one thing that can get people out of their chairs besides 3Dsoftware battles.
Stefan don't hire any of these guys. They're all alcoholics!
CHEERS:-D

I'm not talking about using fancy new chemicals, artificial flavourings or any such rubbish... however, the rest of Europe have been using other malts and base grains for brewing their beer (and so did Germany before the law came in) for hundreds if not thousands of years very successfully. The only thing the law managed to do is not to ensure having the best beer around, only to kill a number of other "natural" varieties of german beers, kill bavarian breweries' competition and help keep the price of wheat and rye low to allow bakers to use them for bread instead. Besides, many german beers you probably love don't respect the law anymore as they probably add cultured yeast, one of the ingredients forbidden by that law. The law is only used today for advertising as a selling point.
Don't get me wrong, some of my favourite beers are german... simple as they come. Don't be fooled, it's not because it has the word "purity" in it that it makes it a good law or that it means that what you get is "pure" or good beer.
I've been to Mexico and had one of those gigantic beer/chilli/tabasco/lemon concoctions too... I know just how bad beer can get when you put the wrong stuff in it... ;) (No offense to Mexicans but I think you just need to have grown up on that stuff to be able to swallow it)
You haven't lived till you've had a cloudy Coopers Pale Ale though.

If you mess with the ingredients too much you just get things like domestic American brands like Budweiser that use rice. Or other formulations that aren't designed to enhance flavor but boost profits. It's crap.
Then there are of course other horrendous concoctions like Zima, Tequiza (beer with lime and tequila flavoring - yuck) or Malt Liquor which tastes awful but has so much alcohol in it you only need 1. Good for budget minded college kids, bad for brain cells. Believe me I know.
Beer, keep it simple.
