The Bavarian Reinheitsgebot of 1487 states that the only ingredients that can be used in beer are water, barley, and hops. The German Vorläufiges Deutsches Biergesetz of 1993 expanded this list to include wheat malt and cane sugar. (It also banned unmalted barley.)
So, let's examine some American beers.
Budweiser: rice, barley, hops, water.
Busch: corn, malt, hops, water.
Rolling Rock: corn, rice, barley, hops, water.
Natural: corn, malt, hops, water.
Miller: corn, barley, hops, water
Sigh.
