BERLIN (Reuters) - A German brewery has developed a beer containing vitamins and minerals it says are designed to slow the ageing process.

The Neuzeller Kloster Brewery plans to introduce its "Anti-Aging-Bier" this year and sell it in grocery and drug stores, a spokesman for the company said on Friday.

"It tastes like beer more than it tastes like anything else," the spokesman told Reuters.

The brewery said the beer contained a host of added ingredients that promote good health. But the German government may object to the brewery calling the drink "beer" since a law dating back to 1516 says beer brewed in Germany can only be made from barley, hops, yeast and water.

Diet Dr.Pepper tastes more like regular Dr. Pepper.

The most frustrating thing in all creation is going to a place that only has Bud, Miller, Coors, etc.

You have that right FRiend!

At least you are in the Pitt area, there are several nice brews around there.
May I suggest anything from the "Great Lakes Brewing Co"?
Burning River, Elliot Ness and Dortmunder Gold are favs of mine.

Beer is food.

Only if the fermentation process is not helped along with sugar.

Before sugar fermentation beer was considered "liquid bread". Brewmeisters in the olden days could be put in the stocks if they contaminated their beer with sugar fermentation.

Paulaner and Hacker Pschorr are my faves. Best beers in the world, imo.

a beer containing vitamins and minerals it says are designed to slow the ageing process.

I'd rather just chase down vitamin pills with my favorite brew.

Only the Germans would search for the fountain of youth at the bottom of a keg.

O.K., maybe the Irish and a few of my highschool buddies would too.

Can't leave out my soldiers and buddies in the Army or the Flyboys and Jarheads we hang out with sometimes.

Ya know, you just can't trust somebody who doesn't drink.

[mylife]

I hear that Hacker Pschorr is the best but I cant get it here. :^(
