[...]111:Rory Lawton, an Irish beer expert in Berlin, thinks Germany’s Reinheitsgebot, or beer-purity law, is discouraging innovation.2:The 1516 law was intended to make it easier to tax beer, through levies on its permitted ingredients: malted barley, hops, water and, later, yeast.3:Centuries on, brewers began using the Reinheitsgebot as a marketing tool to promote their products as pure and authentic.4:If anything else is put into a brew made in Germany it cannot be called Bier, but must be labelled “alcoholic malt drink”.

[...]111:身处柏林的爱尔兰啤酒专家Rory Lawton认为，德国所制订的啤酒酿造《纯净法》（Reinheitsgebot）有碍于行业创新。2:这部于1516年实施的法案意图让啤酒税的征收变得更加简单，其方法就是针对啤酒原料来征税。该法案明确规定厂商只允许用四种成分来酿造啤酒：麦芽、啤酒花、水，以及后来加入其中的酵母。3:几百年之后，啤酒厂商开始用《纯净法》作为市场推广的武器，来标榜自己产品的纯正和经典。4:如果一款在德国境内制造的啤酒加入了另外的原料，那么它不能被称为啤酒，只能贴上一个“酒精麦芽饮料”的标签。
