  But how you can call something made from fruit "beer", when it's obviously "wine", I don't know.
  
  You might consider corn, since it isn't one of the proscribed grains.
  
  But again, there's still the problem of the yeast.
  
  And of course anyone involved in the process up until it's bottled must be a Sabbath-observing male.
