Question:

What sort of additives are in major beers?

I found out that beer companies have lobbied so that they don‘t have to list their ingrediants on the bottle. Do you know of any websites that lists the ingredients?

Answer:

NONE! Beer is made out of THREE things! Hops, water and barley - PERIOD!
They shouldn't have additives at all. As for recipes, there are a lot of things that can be used but the normal ones are malted barley, hops, and yeast. There have been companies that use rice (Budweiser) corn, wheat, and rye. German beers by law, if memory serves me right, can only have those three base ingredients. The links can give you an idea of the diversity of types of beer and how you can make them.
