EU makes "Bavarian Beer" an appellation - European Union - Brief Article

Modern Brewery Age, July 9, 2001

AP--Europeans seeking real "Bavarian Beer" won't be disappointed in the future, after the European Union granted breweries in Germany's southern state the exclusive rights to the label.

Germany's minister for consumer protection, Renate Kuenast, said last week that European Union authorities in Brussels had allowed the breweries in the country's southernmost state to protect their name after nine years of negotiations. Under the region's Rheinheitsgebot or "purity law", only hops, malt, yeast and water are allowed to be used to brew beer.
