Beer is a major part of German culture. Until 1993, German beer was brewed according to the ''Reinheitsgebot'', which only permitted water, hops, and malt as ingredients and stipulated that beers not exclusively using barley-malt, such as wheat beer, must be top-fermented. In 2012, Germany ranked third in terms of per-capita beer consumption, behind the Czech Republic and Austria.〔 Table 3. See also: List of countries by beer consumption per capita〕 ==''Reinheitsgebot''== (詳細はbarley, and hops, which had to be added only while the wort was boiling. After its discovery, yeast became the fourth legal ingredient. For top-fermenting beers, the use of sugar is also permitted. There is a dispute as to where the ''Reinheitsgebot'' originated. Some Bavarians point out that the law originated in the city of Ingolstadt in the duchy of Bavaria on 23 April 1516, although first put forward in 1487,〔"Bavaria"; Bolt, Rodney; Globe Pequot Press; Connecticut; 2005; pg 37.〕 concerning standards for the sale and composition of beer. Thuringians point to a document which states the ingredients of beer as water, hops, and barley only, and was written in 1434 in Weißensee (Thuringia). It was discovered in the medieval Runneburg near Erfurt in 1999.〔()〕 Before its official repeal in 1987, it was the oldest food-quality regulation in the world.〔https://web.archive.org/web/20081024181638/http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/0,1518,549175,00.html/〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beer in Germany」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
