1/ As expected, CornFacts is all over this #SuperBowlllll Bud Light commercial proudly proclaiming they don't use "corn syrup". The add is scientific bunk. Bud Light uses rice to make a clear bear, whereas other beers use corn, and the difference is not significant.
2/ The controversy starts with the German "reinheitsgebot", their beer "purity law" that dates from the around 1500, declaring that beer can only be made from water, hops, and barley. It doesn't mention "yeast", because they didn't know about this.
3/ But truly, barley-only beer has problems. It has too much protein, which clouds the beer. Therefore, brewers often add other grains like rice and corn, which have a different protein makeup, to produce a clearer beer.
