Becks is now owned by Interbrew whose other brands include Stella Artois, Boddingtons, Beck's, Staropramen, Bass, Leffe, Labatt and Hoegaarden. Is it brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot? Thanks to Euro-interference the Reinheitsgebot is no longer compulsory in Germany, it's said to be a barrier to trade. The last time I drank Becks it was still owned by the founding family and a decent beer. It's current incarnation should not be taken as a measure of decent German beer.
