I have brewed alcohol since age 12:
Cider
Root Beer
Birch Beer
Ale
IPA
Wine
Lager/Pilsner
Even Absinthe (distilled)
Brandy & "Calvados"

The primary difference between beer and ale is the yeast. Beer yeast brews from the bottom ... ale from a top yeast. Formulas vary.

In the Bible there are many references to wine. "New wine in old wine-skins" ... "Drink wine new in heaven"

Pappy is close. Bottled with too much sugar/malt present ... the yeasty-beasties continue to grow. I have had many a bottle explode.
