The German Reinheitsgebot for beer is the oldest food regulation in the world. For German brewers it is a matter of honour that they work by it, for it has made German beer what it is today. The day of German beer is celebrated on 23 April. Thats the day that Duke William IV of Bavaria issued the famous law in 1516 stating that beer may only contain water, malt and hops (yeast came later). Beer is now conquering top-class restaurants where its rapidly becoming popular as an aperitif. And women are drinking beer more frequently. Out of glasses by Ritzenhoff. The culture of the beer glass has developed from mead cups through horns and mugs to the modern designer glass.
Thats why the Ritzenhoff beer glass collection is probably one of the most famous design projects in the world.
