Guest guest Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Shortly afterwards, the local Brandenburg state agricultural ministry, citing German brewing law, forbade use of the word " beer " in the product logo. The Fritsche company was irate, and told the state finance ministry that it would refuse to pay the mandatory " beer tax " if its brew was not designated as beer by the agriculture ministry. The argument was rejected by the tax ministers. So you can't call it beer - but you must still pay the beer tax That makes sense (to the government) Ed (name being withheld by the FDA) " James Ramholz " <jramholz Anti-aging Beer http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3978429/ " Klosterbrauerei Neuzelle, " a former monastery brewery in a small town at the German-Polish border, introduced its " anti-aging beer " at the country's largest food and nutrition fair on Friday, during the so-called " Green Week " in Berlin. -- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
