KfP "beer"

In the "this is just wrong" category: kosher-for-Passover beer (forwarded to me by [livejournal.com profile] ralphmelton). Someone else on my friends list ([livejournal.com profile] arib, maybe?) spotted something like this (probably this) in a store but couldn't bring himself to investigate, if I recall correctly. I thought at the time that it was a labelling error or a local thing, but I guess not.

I'm not a big beer drinker and don't feel overly constrained by that aspect of Pesach, but I would buy a single bottle out of curiosity were that an option. Not an entire case, though.

Apparently not all matzoh is KfP either, though it doesn't detail the failures.

That's easy. If the process from when water touches the flour to finished baking takes longer than 18 minutes (or is it 18.5?), then it's not kosher for passover.

Also, you'd need the oven, preparation area, tools, etc. to be KfP as well.

As far as teas, I think the short answer is: Jews are crazy all the time, and passover makes them more so. A friend of mine who is a therapist thinks that Jews invented OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder).
