“ In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide; he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind old men as guides.
Heinrich Heine, Gedanken und Einfalle
Bier, bier, und mehr bier! Sehr gut!
Beer brewers shall sell no beer to the citizens, unless it be three weeks old; to the foreigner they may knowingly sell younger beer.
--- German beer law, 1466
