Is it possible this is some Federal or State health regulation?

No. There are a lot of people making unpasturized beer. Pathogens
that grow in beer aren't very common. The main reason beer is pasturized
is to make it more shelf stable from a taste standpoint. By cooking the
stuff to death, Bud is as skunky three months from now as it is the day
it is canned.

Probably State. Many of the northeastern States use health regulations to get
around the Federal control over interstate commerce and establish defacto
trade restrictions. The main target is dairy products, but there are others.
This is less true in the midwest, but it's still there. Lots of States have
regulations deliberately interfering with the "importation" of Wisconsin dairy
products, for example. In fact, the Feds also have one, but this is a nearly
unique example of this sort of thing among Federal regulations.

the problem.

We usually call it "making love in a canoe".

Because it's ****ing close to water.
