This Bud’s for Jews.

The Chosen People must drink nothing but Budweiser, a group of ultra-Orthodox rabbis have decreed, because almost every other brew is sold by a distributor they claim violated religious law.

The kvetching holy men, members of the Satmar sect, say the Jewish owner of Manhattan Beer Distributors didn’t comply with a rule requiring him to symbolically “sell” his business to a non-Jew, and stop selling suds, during Passover.

During the week-long holiday that ended April 7, which celebrates the liberation of the Israelite slaves from Egypt, Jews may not own or consume leavened goods — such as beer, which contains yeast.

For business owners to satisfy the rule, European rabbis came up with a loophole that allows them to “sell” their company to a non-Jew during a ceremony where both parties sign an agreement. A price is included on the document, but no actual money is exchanged.

Simon Bergson, owner of Manhattan Beer, said he observed the rule — and “sold” his business for $1 million to a “goy” named Ed McBrien, his senior manager and friend. But he didn’t close down, and kept working himself.

The move left the strict Satmars more embittered than a British pale ale.

“He’s totally wrong. He can’t just make up his own rules,” said community leader Isaac Abraham. “He can’t sign the papers and do the opposite. He wants to have his cake and eat it too.”

A Brooklyn kosher-certification agency caught wind of Bergson’s brewski blunder and began posting fliers two weeks ago in Williamsburg and Borough Park advising followers to stay away from the 114 different brands of beer Bergson sells, including Grolsch and Corona, which are popular in the Hasidic community.

“Due to the discovery that the exclusive distributor of most beers in New York is Jewish (unfortunately not a religious one), we are alerting you that one should not buy any beer, even from non-Jewish stores, until the holiday of Shavuot (May 19),” says the Yiddish-language order from the Central Rabbinical Congress.

But it makes one exception for the King of Beers. It also lists Bud Lite, Becks, Carlsberg and Stella Artois as “beers distributed by non-jews that are permitted.” All five beers are distributed in Brooklyn by Union Beer Distributors.

Manhattan Beer’s Bergson was stunned by the beer boycott.

“It’s over the top,” he said. “I did everything I was supposed to do. I’m sorry this particular sect of rabbis is upset about it, but I certainly didn’t mean to offend.”

He said he’s been in business 39 years and has never been in the middle of such a brew-haha. But shutting down his business for a week is out of the question.

“That’s a completely absurd request,” said Bergson. “I may not satisfy the Satmars, but I’ll satisfy a majority of the community and I’m fine with that.”

Some Jews are foaming with fury over the decree.

“I’d never lay my hand on a Bud!” griped one Satmar member who prefers Bergson’s Brooklyn Lager, Guinness, Shiner Bock and Modelo. “King of Beers? More like the swill of beers.”
