debeer1-1, Exercise 3: Record, reputation or legend Model answer: (a) Record: a dated law issued in Bavaria in 1516. Check it against a reliable history of the Reinheitsgebot or the Bavarian state archives. (b) Reputation: "the oldest in the world" is a slogan. Check it by finding the earliest documented evidence of brewing on the site, and compare it with the claims of other breweries. (c) Legend: a story about how a style got its name. Ask the guide for a source, then look for the name's origin in a reference book on beer styles.
