Beer of the middle ages was rather different than it is today. Most medieval beer was brewed with seasonings called gruit, instead of hops, and nearly all of it was brewed as ale, rather than lager.
The standards for brewing were applied to a minor degree by the Church, which taxed all the seasonings in gruit. To a much greater degree, however, the standards were applied by the brewers' guilds, which varied from one place to another.
The first really widespread laws on brewing standards were the Bavarian purity laws, which were perhaps intended primarily to protect the system of taxation in Bavaria, rather than the quality of the beer. These appeared in 1516, after the Middle Ages ended.
