Question
Does beer require kosher certification?
Answer
Flavored beer: requires kosher certification. Unflavored beer produced abroad: if produced in the summer, there is no concern of new grain. If produced in the winter, there is a concern of new grain. Produced in Israel: no concern. If the factory owner is a Torah-observant Jew and production is around Passover, when the malt was likely already produced, it is forbidden.
