Clubs are a great opportunity to meet up with friends and strangers and do things you share a passion for. They bring like-minded people together, organize events and represent a group of people who have the same interests, hobbies or attitudes. There are clubs in all areas of everyday life, but we like the ones the most that deal with our favorite topic. By this we don't necessarily mean associations of beer lovers who enjoy drinking, but rather those that come together to make a difference in the beer world. Although they certainly like to drink beer while doing it.
The German Creative Brewers Association is one such group: numerous young breweries in the country have found and organized themselves to stand up for craft beer. What they all have in common is the love and passion for barley juice. The enthusiastic beer lovers are flexible, open-minded and open-minded in their way of thinking and want to explore new paths with their creations. The independent brewers celebrate the time-honored craftsmanship of their guild with all its traditions. At the same time, they want to break down old structures and discover and exploit the full potential of beer. Under the seal of the hopped eagle, the eleven breweries have decided to push the Purity Law off its high horse. For a long time, Germany was considered a pioneer when it came to beer and based this position on its millennia-old brewing tradition. But now the beer veteran is standing in its own way: the Bavarian Purity Law and the associated provisional beer law are slowing down young brewers and taking the wind out of their sails with strict rules and regulations. In other countries people brew to their heart's content, while in our country the craft has to contend with the law. In order to put an end to this situation, the Association of German Creative Brewers has launched the naturalness requirement.
Basically, the Provisional Beer Act, like the Bavarian Purity Law, stipulates what can be contained in beer. A layperson assumes that these ingredients are hops, malt, yeast and water, but the state purity law has a few loopholes. These exceptions allow some artificial additives or sugar in beer, but prohibit the use of fruit or spices, for example. If you brew these natural raw materials, you are not allowed to sell the result as beer. The rules are also not the same in every federal state, which makes collaborations and collaborations between breweries difficult. The solution that the German creative brewers propose and practice is the so-called naturalness requirement. All raw materials of natural origin that are suitable for consumption may be used.
With this daring step, the German creative brewers are catapulting their homeland's brewing craft into the present and tastefully advocating for a modernization of the legal situation.
