How would you say 'this beer'? With a definite article maybe? זאת הבירה or would that make 'This is the beer' ?
In English? Yes and no. Beer is like water, it is only countable when it is contained (like a bottle or cup). For example, "Beer fell from the sky" and 'A beer fell from the sky" are both acceptable but mean totally different things. The first you can catch in your mouth, the second would break your teeth if you tried.
