     Regarding the German beer natural ingredients law, it applies to those
beers that are sold in Germany.  It does not apply to beers made in Germany
and exported (yes, there is a difference).  Hence, it may indeed be a
problem of preservatives or other additives supplied to the beer...
Americans like their beer ice cold whereas such is not usually the case
elsewhere.  This chilling causes problems for the genuine German beers, and
produces protein precipitates and cloudy brews...   One domestic brand that
I've heard of giving a health problem to the consumer (a friend of a friend
of a....) is Pabst Blue Ribbon.

happy drinking,
