Well, that`s a repeating story in history. "Coca" Cola also used to be a drug (Coca plants instead of caffeine) until some people exaggerated the use of it. But I think Binsenkraut is by far more dangerous than coca plants. Probably the church wanted to protect people from going crazy / getting controlled by the devil. And all has its good: Without the purity law you wouldn`t drink ecological beer without additives nowdays.


Jack Daniels + Cola + icecubes is better . But you have to be careful with that.

Auf Dooyoo - Kaufberatung online wird es als internationales Bier bezeichnet, das jedoch den Nachteil hat, dass es nur schwer erhältlich ist. Aber ich glaube, es schon mal in Deutschland gesehen zu haben. Weiß aber nicht mehr wo.
Dooyoo schreibt darüber:

In Österreich gibt es das Bier in jedem BILLA-Supermarkt (REWE-Gruppe). Vielleicht gibt es das Bier ja in Deutschland bei irgendeinem REWE-Supermarkt?!

Da Kapsreiter von der Ottakringer-Brauerei aufgekauft wurde, kann man es auf deren Seite bestellen: Ottakringer Shop - Party & Bier
Du kannst dort auch ein 50-Liter-Fass für 106,40 Euro kaufen.

Eigentlich sollte ich eine Provision bekommen, für soooo viel Werbung.

I wasn't saying that the church did something evil, I just wanted to throw this tidbit in. But yes, Bilsenkraut isn't something you want to really take, like I said, the lethal dose is extremely near to the dose you need to get high (which also isn't much).
Another interesting tidbit, european shamans peed out of their window after taking drugs (which I guess was very common back then), and other people gathered around it to catch the pee and drink it since it still had enough of the drug in it but wouldn't kill you (*)

(*)disclaimer: Doesn't work with every drug, you might some of the rare edgecases who dies right after taking just a little bit of the drug. Don't try this at home!

I don't need a disclaimer to keep myself from drinking some persian dude's pee, thanks.

@Sid: Ok.. interesting story

@Harry: Thanks for your hints. I`ll check the local Rewe store tomorrrow.

Edit: @Sajeh 2 Posts weiter unten: Meinst du im Steam wegen ner Runde zocken? Ich schau nachher mal rein. Sry, war die letzten Tage kaum online.

I only drink black beer (love Porter), I'm more of a whiskey type.

well I hate beer and alchol in general
but my question is
Can people really distinguish a beer with a blind test ?
We made this test with a friend who claimed to be a whiskey expert
He could not distinguish a supposed top brand from a cheap one
I read that in a Sommelier dinner it was served a white wine with some tasteless additive to make it red
None of the wine gurus realized that he was drinkng a white wine with meat
