Passover Beer?

Passover season is upon us (Sunset of April 8th-April 15th), and while I’m excited for my favorite Moses-inspired movie to play on a major network, for all observant Jews it’s an important time to consider your beer options for the week.
Basically, because the Passover laws dictate that all bread must be unleavened, you’re out of luck in the beer category. Beer requires yeast fermentation, another no-no for Passover.
If you’re not too picky, you could try the Honey Beer from Ramapo Valley Brewery, it’s brewed from fermented honey. (Totally 100% Passover ready.) However, if you think about it, that’s not actually beer.
Beer is fermented grain (wheat, barley, etc). Fermented honey makes mead.
So if you’re a Jewish viking, you’ll be set. If not, it’s only 8 days…
