Germans brewing up 'anti-aging' beer

BERLIN - A German brewery has developed a beer containing vitamins and minerals it says are designed to slow the aging process.

The Neuzeller Kloster Brewery plans to introduce its "Anti-Aging-Bier" this year and sell it in grocery and drug stores, a spokesman for the company said on Friday.

"It tastes like beer more than it tastes like anything else," the spokesman told Reuters.

The brewery said the beer contained a host of added ingredients that promote good health. But the German government may object to the brewery calling the drink "beer" since a law dating back to 1516 says beer brewed in Germany can only be made from barley, hops, wheat and water.

Then again, it may be too late for some.

I wonder what's in it?

Drink enough of it and you may stop aging altogether. But you'll still feel old, because you can't remember anything in your alcoholic haze.

I read it to mean it's still made like other beers with barley, hops, wheat and water, but it has other ingredients ADDED to it; therefore, it can't legally be called BEER.
