Question
Why is there no kosher certification for beer on Passover? And is it permissible without certification?
Answer
Beer is made by soaking barley in water, and after the barley ferments, it begins to ferment, and the beer is the fermented beverage [with various additives]. Therefore, it is considered complete chametz in every respect and cannot be given kosher certification for Passover.
