  • the importer of the beer has confirmed that the ingredients are as follows : malt, hops, rice and water. Does this mean it is kosher??? – Ross Siduli Feb 26 '15 at 13:57

    @CashCow, seems more to making fun of the Avoda Zara to me. – Yishai Feb 26 '15 at 14:39

    Generally, it's pretty accepted that unflavored beer (hops, malt, water, yeast) doesn't require an explicit hashgacha, but most people require one for flavored beers. The addition of rice into the mix is an interesting twist, but I'm not certain if we would treat the rice like we do the malt (no hashgacha needed) or since it's a deviation from the norm we would require full supervision. – Isaac Kotlicky Feb 26 '15 at 15:05

    @IsaacKotlicky, also most of the statements about things being fine without certification are dependent on their country of manufacture. Standard manufacturing procedure in China may (or may not) be different. – Yishai Feb 26 '15 at 15:16
  • @Yishai very fair point. Most beer I tend to encounter tends to be European or american, both of which are considered okay via the guidelines I stated. Many local restaurants under supervision offer Chinese and Japanese beers, so... – Isaac Kotlicky Feb 26 '15 at 15:19

    Close-voter: This question does not ask what the asker should do, personally, and is therefore no more of a request for pesak than any other Halacha question. – Isaac Moses Feb 26 '15 at 19:34
