BERLIN - January 2004. A German brewery has developed a beer containing vitamins and minerals it says are designed to slow the ageing process.

The brewery said the beer contained a host of added ingredients that promote good health. But the German government may object : then reinheitsgebot itself shows few signs of "alternd".
