Perhaps the most widely known event in brewing history was the establishment of German standards for brewers. The first of these regulations was the inspiration for the Reinheitsgebot of 1516-the most famous beer purity law. This pledge of purity states that only four ingredients.can be used in the production of beer: water,
malted barley, malted wheat and hops. Yeast, though not included in this list, was acceptable, as it was taken for granted to be a key ingredient in the brewing process. The "Reinheitsgebot" was the assurance to the consumer
that German beers would be of the highest quality in the world and acknowledges theEuropean disdain for adding adjuncts such as corn, rice, other grains and sugars.
According to a diary entry from a passenger on the Mayflower, the pilgrims made their landing at Plymouth Rock, rather than continue to their destination in Virginia, due to lack of beer.
