The Kosher Beers blog has performed a great service for the kosher-consuming, Purim-observing community, posting a Kosher Beer Guide in honor of Purim.
Note that, as I said here, I don't favor a heavy drinking approach on Purim, and I am very against drinking in the presence of children on Purim.
Further, I don't really like beer. Dark, light, calories, no calories, malty or oaky or hoppy or imported or domestic or whatever... to me, it's all just cheap alcohol.
But for those seeking a good beer for a moderate drink at the seudah, go see the guide here.
We generally assume that unflavored beers are kosher, but please note that:
1) Beers might be flavored without clear advertisement of that fact, and
2) There are kosher flavored beers.
So see the list here.
I hope to get to Purim Post II later today... apparently, a major Jewish organization has now decided to outlaw the rabbinic sermon for Shabbat mornings. More to come, if I can clear the time.

" it's all just cheap alcohol"
ReplyDeleteah, so you like the expensive stuff.
Yes, but does your brother have a solution for Kosher for Passover beer? ;-}
ReplyDeleteone of my best memories of my time in allentown was being taught all about single malt scotch!
ReplyDeletethe community definitely wasn't beer drinkers.
LoZ-
ReplyDeleteOther than an occasional Scotch if someone has a yahrtzeit, no. And I just found out that kosherwine.com is illegal in the Commonwealth of PA, which is going to kill any diversity from my Shabbos kiddush wine.
Tzipporah-
Try asking him; if anyone knows about it, he does.
FA-
There are some, but they tend to be the younger crowd. I've been mulling doing a Kosher Beer Tasting.
