=== Reinheitsgebot ===
Beers in Germany can only be called beers if the adhere to the Reinheitsgebot, i.e. beer ingredients can only contain water, malt and hops. Thus a product such as [http://world.openfoodfacts.org/product/4012852001698/neumarkter-lammsbrau-glutenfrei Lammsbrau] is not labeled as beer, whereas in other countries it is.

: I am definitely no professional on the topic (nor a lawyer), but I believe that this no necessarily more true. See the following excerpt from the [https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reinheitsgebot&oldid=142873092#Heutige_Rechtslage German Wikipedia]:
: <blockquote lang="de" cite="https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reinheitsgebot&oldid=142873092"><p>Was als Bier bezeichnet werden darf, regelt die Bierverordnung ([http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/bierv/index.html BierV]) von 2005. Demnach ist die Einhaltung der im Vorläufigen Biergesetz normierten Herstellungsvorschriften maßgeblich. Besonders strenge Vorschriften gelten nur noch für die [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unterg%C3%A4rige_Hefe untergärige] Bierherstellung in Deutschland für den deutschen Markt. Hersteller von importiertem Bier sind aufgrund des nach dem Urteil des Europäischen Gerichtshofes von 1987 angepassten deutschen Rechts nicht an diese Vorschriften gebunden; auch deutsche Brauereien können davon abweichen, wenn sie untergäriges Bier für den Export produzieren, oder für „besondere Biere“ eine Ausnahmegenehmigung erhalten.</p></blockquote>
: And the following from the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reinheitsgebot&oldid=673494292 English Wikipedia]:
: <blockquote cite="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Reinheitsgebot&oldid=673494292">Thus, German breweries continue to comply with the Biergesetz, and often claim compliance with the Reinheitsgebot even when it is patently incorrect (for example, for [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_beer Wheat beer] which were prohibited by the Reinheitsgebot). Thus the Reinheitsgebot has become a valuable marketing tool. Until superseded by a change in EU law, the Reinheitsgebot was also enforced in Greece from the early 19th century due to a law by the first Greek king, Otto (originally a Bavarian prince) that had remained in effect for over a hundred years. The law drew criticism from foreign brewers as a form of protectionism that allowed Germany to prohibit beers from Belgium and England which contained sugars, grains such as Corn and Rice, and clarification and fining agents.</blockquote>
