KfP "beer"

[cellio]

In the "this is just wrong" category: kosher-for-Passover beer (forwarded to me by ralphmelton). Someone else on my friends list (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.

Yeast itself isn't the problem, else all wines would be out too. (I was confused by that at first too.) It's really about the five grains coming into contact with anything that might produce leavening, and about derivations from that principle (e.g. corn isn't one of the five grains but you still don't eat cornbread).

I think that I was confused, too, in an earlier discussion... I was reading somewhere that there's kosher for passover baking powder. But baking soda couldn't be. Or something. I am confused...
