Oh dear.... :o
In German but with Google translate you'd get the gist of it...

In short, Glyphosate found in 14 German beers. This pesticide is mainly used in agriculture industry and seem to make its way into the beers through the malt and hops the breweries are using.

Its ok its only a carcinogen, phew ;)
We see it around these parts as Roundup, I was wondering why those slugs were dispatched so easily in my jar of beer.

For a start Glyphosphate i.e. Roundup is not a pesticide it is a herbicide!
