Standards for Beer in UK

Afternoon All,

Was wondering - does anyone have the definition of 'beer' in the UK (No sarcasm please)

I understand there are no technical standards in this country (hence mass produced belgian and german brews being vastly superior) but apparently the Alcoholic Liquor Duties act 1979 has a definition, and I can't get hold of the legislation.

Any help as ever appreciated!

Have a good weekend all.

If nothing else, reading it gives you a thirst.

Added - I think availability of specific law you mention is just like the ISO regulations.
