As a longtime vegan, I'm used to looking up Barnivore. (Yay Barnivore! \o/)
However, a (non-vegan) German friend of mine recently told me that all beers in Germany are vegan. When I pushed her on it, she gave me a link to this Wikipedia article
It talks about German "Purity Law", stating only a very limited set of ingredients are allowed, and that there are bodies that supervise this to ensure that standards are met.
I know that clarifiers are a concern here.
Does this Purity Law extend to process thereby making every German Beer vegan?
What exceptions should I look out for when drinking beer in Germany?
Do the same laws apply to German beers produced for export?
