Sir, - Please assure David Grant (August 10th) and his fellow inbibers that all is not lost. Beck's Bier is brewed in strict accordance with the "Reinheitsgebot", the German purity law of 1516. Only four natural ingredients of barley-malt, hops, yeast and brewing water are used in the brewing process. All four ingredients are stated clearly on the Beck's label. - Yours, etc., Philip Smith, Marketing director, United Beverages Sales Ltd,
Long Mile Road, Dublin 12.
