There is an issue of Chometz She’avar Alav HaPesach regarding many brands of beer sold in the state of Maryland. For specific information regarding which brands and locations are affected, see www.star-k.org.

Beer After Pesach in New York
As is well known, many brands of beer sold in New York City and surrounding counties are distributed by a Jewish owned company. Although a number of Rabbonim have worked with the company to affect a mechiras chometz, long standing STAR-K policy has always been not to rely on a mechira in these types of situations. Each individual should consult his Rav for guidance.

  1. In the Star-K book it says they are only speaking about the Baltimore area, not nationwide, in other areas need to check with your vaad.

  2. Where is the link to this list on Star-K’s website? I got an email from Kosher Alert and BJs was not on the list of allowed companies
