KOSHER BEERS ANNUAL LABOR DAY KOSHER BEERS LIST PURIM 2014 EDITION Last Updated: Mar !

12" 2014 www.kosherbeers.blogspot.com As a service to the community, Kosher Beers publishes a list of the beers which I know to be kosher certified, on a semi-annual basis. The lists are published on abor !ay and again prior to "urim. "lease note that there is no mit#vah to get stone drunk on "urim. The mit#vah is $ad d%lo yadah$ which can even be accomplished through sleep &since while one is sleeping they do not know the difference between 'aman and (ordechai). *urthermore, if you have been drinking on "urim &or any other day) please do not get behind the wheel of a car. "urim is a day of simcha and should never be marred by the tragedy of !+I *or those who do utili#e alcohol responsibly as part of their seudah, the following is a brief guide to beer. !oes beer re,uire a hashgacha- The ma.or kashruth organi#ations utili#e the cha#akah that unflavored beer does not re,uire a hashgacha as unflavored beers are made only from four ingredients/ malted barley, hops, water and yeast. "lease note that the 0tar-K has limited this application to beers from the 10A, 2anada, Belgium, 3ngland, 4ermany, (e5ico and the 6etherlands. The 272 continues to apply the cha#akah without geographic limitation, but has also indicated that beer known to be produced at microbreweries, pub breweries, or craft breweries re,uires certification. *or a great article by 7abbi T#vi 7osen of the 0tar-K on kashruth in alcohol, including an in depth analysis of beer production, click here - http/88www.stark.com8kashrus8kk-thirst-highspirits.htm. 7ecently, 7abbi Akiva 6iehaus of the 272 published an article which reviewed the history of beer making along with a view on modern kashruth issues related to beer production. The article can be found here - http/88www.crcweb.org8kosher9articles8Beer.php. Additionally, for those trying to make sense of the different styles of beer which can be found in your local beer store - please click here for the Beer Advocate beer style list which breaks down the beers both by their type and country of origin/http/88beeradvocate.com8beer8style. Assuming that you are looking for a beer with a hashgacha, I have compiled a list of beers along with their certifying agency. 2ontact information for each agency follows at the bottom of this document. The list below is not meant to be e5haustive as it only reflects the results of my individual research. Beers #!$ ! !a%e &ee' added s$' e t!e La&(r Da)
