Maryland Post Pesach Maryland Beer Alert

April 5, 2019: from the Star-K:

It has come to our attention that two large beer distribution companies, who are the exclusive distributors of many brands in Maryland, are Jewish owned. Due to numerous challenges, a proper sale of Chometz is not possible. As a result, many brands of beer sold in our area will be "Chometz She’avar Alav HaPesach". The problematic beer in stock will not be depleted until sometime in June. Please check our website after June 1st for an update. Until that time, the beers on the list here should not be purchased. We do not have any information about beers sold outside of Maryland.

For a list of stores where brands listed may be purchased in Maryland see here.

Additionally, one may purchase beer at the following stores with the listed conditions:

• Dugan’s – Only beer that has an approval sticker bearing the STAR-K symbol and Hebrew signature of Mashgiach.
• Kosher Bite – All beer in store.
• Quarry – Only beer that has an approval sticker bearing the STAR-K symbol and Hebrew signature of Mashgiach.
