  • You can’t get methanol poisoning from normal beer brewing process but you could from someone spiking their beer to up the abv, though that still seems unlikely.

    Also when distilling it is more a matter of scale. Heads have a high level of methanol so if your batch is big enough and you don’t discard the heads then you can get a whole bottle or more of methanol which is more than enough to make you sick. Probably not going to happen with a 5 or 10 gallon mash but some moonshiners do large enough batches where it is technically possible, through massive incompetence, to poison people.
