Answer to Question 1

German beer traditionally was brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot (RINE-hites-geh-boat) laws of 1516 . The Reinheitsgebot laws translate literally to purity order and is sometimes called the German Beer Purity Laworiginally created to regulate the production of beer in Bavaria which then spread throughout Germany. The laws stated that only water, hops, and barley were allowed to be ingredients and later, after its discovery, yeast became the fourth legal element for beer production. The limitation of barley grains was believed to ensure the availability of sufficient amounts of affordable bread, as the more precious wheat and rye were reserved for use by bakers.

Though some brewers still adhere to these outdated laws, In modern times, it is easy to comprehend how these laws could be limiting in terms of producing alternative styles of beer.
