Why a glass of german beer as illustration of Icelandic beer? -- Palthrow 22:10, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, I removed it. -- Schnee (cheeks clone) 11:16, 24 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Beer used to be banned in Iceland? from what time? why? I mean, in Viking times, and probably until at least the late middle ages, it was a traditional, if unusual and festive drink. Any sources? --Svartalf 12:12, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the beginning of the 20th century, the prohibitionist movement in Iceland was very powerful, and all alcohol was briefly banned in the 1930's, if I remember correctly. They then allowed liquor again, but explicitly banned beer -- the reason being that those in power did not want the Icelandic populace to "degenerate into beer-swilling drunkards, like the Danes" or something of the sort. I remember the day beer was legalised quite well -- many Icelanders celebrate it with massive beer binges. Palthrow 19:41, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Then, references?

'Maiz' and 'yest' are not English words; I suspect they should both be yeast. Whoever typed in the ingredient list may care to confirm that.--212.178.222.21 13:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
