פירוש על עבודה זרה 62:7
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
We can see here a variety of opinions on drinking non-Jewish beer. Some of the amoraim held that as long as the Jew did not drink with the non-Jew, particularly in the non-Jew’s house, he could drink the beer. But one amora was particularly cautious, and assumedly did not drink the beer at all.
I should note that by the Middle Ages the laws involving beer had been much more relaxed. Today religious Jews drink beer brewed by non-Jews. Indeed, on a personal note, this particular Jew very much enjoys the excellent beer crafted by non-Jews. And that’s an understatement.
