The Reinheitsgebot was the German purity law and it allowed only water, barley, and hops. It has been replaced with the Provisional German Beer Law of 1993, which allows but does not require, other items such as wheat and cane sugar.
The German law that prescribes beer's ingredients to be water, barley, hops, and yeast is known as the Reinheitsgebot, or the German Beer Purity Law. Originally enacted in 1516, it aimed to ensure the quality and purity of beer by regulating its ingredients. Over the years, the law has been modified, but its core principle of maintaining high standards in brewing remains influential in Germany and beyond.
The DRM (Deutsches Reinheitsgebot Mark) on the inside of a German beer stein lid signifies adherence to the German Beer Purity Law, which dates back to 1516. This mark ensures that the beer produced complies with the standards of using only water, barley, and hops, maintaining traditional brewing practices. It serves as a quality assurance symbol for consumers, reflecting the authenticity and craftsmanship of the beer contained within the stein.

50% of beer is made of water...but, that's like saying 50% of people have a nose--so do the other 50%. Beer is made from grains, yeast, flavorants and water. Some beers have rice, some have wheat, some have barley. Some beers have hops added for flavor. German beers used to have to abide by the German Beer Purity law, Reinheitsgebot, which prohibited anything besides water, barley, hops and yeast (after Louis Pasteur identified it). The best guess one might come up with to answer your question would be "Barley". Mostly, barley is found in German and German-influenced beers.
