The Bavarian Purity Law brought an abrupt end to the sometimes wild conditions in the brewery industry in 1516. Before the regulations banned the use of all ingredients except hops, barley malt, yeast and water, all sorts of crazy raw materials went into the brewing kettles. Herbs of all kinds, sugar, dyes and other things were no longer allowed to be used, which is why the quality of the beer increased significantly from one day to the next. The decision ensured that barley juice became a safe food. In addition to quality, there were other motivations, such as the scarcity of grain. Because from then on mainly barley was used for brewing, more bread could be baked from other types of grain. Many long-established breweries still adhere to the purity law today and are proud of this tradition, which is more than 500 years old.
Although Bavarian Caps is not a brewery, it still celebrates the Bavarian Purity Law. The company has come up with a cap for all fans of the beery decision. The year of birth of the purity law is emblazoned in the middle of the hat in white, embroidered felt letters, with the significant number written out underneath. The headgear is made of gray flannel and has a suede look peak. A nice detail is the flowering hop vine on the inner edge of the hat.
