Beer OR Not ?

Discussion in 'General Chat' started by levampire, Aug 26, 2008.

    I'm used to drink some Malt Beverage called (Fayrouz)

    I'm arguing with some people that it is beer, they say NO.

    And I'm NOT supposed to drink beer because:

    1- I'm 14.
    2- I'm Muslim and it is prohibited.

    So, This Malt beverage looks just like beer, Color, the white thing when pouring it/opening a can.

    Ingredients: Malt, Carbonated Water, Citric Acid, Natural Identical Pineapple Flavor (Changeable).

    I know it is not beer.. But it just looks like one (Even with the taste, never tasted beer, but I guess it tastes so)

    So .. Is It or NOT :p

    P.S: This thread is just for fun

    From the ingredients i would say it isnt beer.

    Also there is non-alcoholic beer these days if that helps with your religion.

    Dont want to derail your thread, but i see that muslims dont drink alcohol but alot if not an awful lot smoke marijuana is that aloud on the religion?

    Don't Worry, Well, It is Not marijuana, it is Hashish (Cannabis), It is prohibited but everybody is not an angel .. some Muslims drink Alcoholic Drinks,

    Some people follow their reli., others just dont.

    Anyway, Let's don't give mods the chance to move it to the P&R Section ;)

    Marijuana and hashish are the same things just one is the resin form of the bud of the plant.

    Well, for me it's better for me not to drink something that I'm not sure it's haram or halal.

    Note for others :
    Haram : forbidden
    Halal : allowed

    Look for the alcohol content and if you don't like alcoholic beverages or if your religion forbids consuming it, shy away from it. Non alcoholic beverages are good for your health.

    According to the original Reinheitsgebot (the German Beer Purity Law), the only ingredients that can be used in the production of beer are water, barley, and hops. They now allow other ingredients such as wheat, yeast and sugar.

    The drink you mentioned does not contain any hops, so it isn't beer IMO.

    I think with regards to the Muslim religeon, the important factor is whether the drink contains any alcohol however, and not whether it technically is a beer or not. I'm not an expert on that subject, but it is my understanding gleaned from travelling a little bit in the Middle East.

    If it’s not fermented (alcohol) it’s not beer.

    Beer is just malt until it goes through the fermentation process.

    I don't like beer or any type of alcohol at all.
    I prefer energy drinks.

    If you're not sure that is it halal, then ask an Imam.
