Existing law defines "beer" for purposes of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Act as any alcoholic beverage obtained by the fermentation of any infusion or decoction of barley, malt, hops, or any other similar product, or any combination thereof in water, as specified.
This bill would revise the definition of "beer" for purposes of the act to provide that beer may be produced using other grain and to specify that fermentation occurs in drinkable water.
