Question
Is it permissible to use beer without kosher certification, and what is the ruling abroad?
Answer
If there are flavors, it is certainly forbidden. If there are no flavors - if it was produced last winter, it is forbidden, and if it was produced in the summer, it is permitted, unless it is known that the factory belongs to a Jew who does not observe the Torah, and the production date is before Passover or close to it, when it is assumed that the malt was already produced on Passover, it is forbidden because of chametz that has passed over Passover.
