The original law in 1516 was just mentioning three ingredients, barley, hops and water. Back then they didn't know of yeast. The beer was often fermenting by accident and the yeast in the air, that's the reason why many breweries were located near bakeries.

I was going to mention this but I see you already did. It was probably innoculated from things like wooden stirring paddles. I think "airborne yeast" is more of a myth than what actually happens.
