What brands of beer are Kosher?  I'm ordering wine and beer in bulk for my reception, and I'm familiar with brands of Kosher wine, but I don't drink beer, so I'm not sure which beers are Kosher.

    If you want specific names, aside from He-Brew, I can't think of many off the top of my head.  But many of the "regular" beers are kosher anyway, such as Budweiser, Heineken, Blue Moon, just to name a few.  Just do a google search on a reputable kosher site and you'll easily find a list of all the beers; your caterer can also provide you a list.

    We'll be ordering our own alcohol as well (cheaper) and we'll likely have Blue Moon and one other top of beer.

    In addition to He-Brew there is Macabee, but I believe PP is right about the Kashrut of other beers.  He-Brew + Macabee are Israel rather than just kosher.

    LOL, no worries - it's all a learning experience!  I've never tried it but it would look cool to serve it at a wedding.  :)

    There is a brewery called Redhook Ale.  They have a couple of breweries in WA state and one in New Hampshire.  They are Kosher and have a bunch of different kinds of beer, all of which are fantastic.  You should look into that brand, it is well distributed across the US.

    ask your rabbi. ours gave us a list, and I'm pretty sure most typical beers were on there.  We are having kegs at our wedding :)

    Unflavored beers can generally be assumed to be kosher even without a heksher, so you would be fine with all of the common brands.  Ask your Rabbi or the attendee who keeps the strictes kashrut if you need more guidance for your needs.
