Petition Beer Purity Law - full ingredient list and nutrition information

More details

I would like either the introduction of a beer purity law or the full ingredient list and nutrition information displayed on the product. And while premium beers proudly indicate that they only use the four historic core ingredients - water, malted barley, hops and yeast - others give no more detailed information than the current legal requirement: to say that their beer includes malted barley or wheat. In many cases, therefore, the buyer has no idea whether or not his or her beer of choice has been brewed naturally, or what else might have been added. As a consumer I deserve to know what goes into my alcoholic drink in the same way as I would any other product. Brewers should have nothing to hide from the public.

TYPICAL BEER ADDITIVES
Ammonia caramel
Betaglucanase
Rhoiso-alpha acids
Sulphur dioxide
Protease
Amyloglucosidase
Propylene glycol alginate
Silicone

I want a chemical free beer or cider containing no additives. Please make this choice possible.
