Not beer, corn liquor. Know affectionately to the Native Americans as “firewater”. Without distillation, there's no way that a fermented beverage would have the necessary alcohol content to become "firewater". It was called so, because if spat upon a campfire, it would flare up if it were 50% alcohol, being 100 percent proof that it was indeed a potent potable.

“corn liquor. Know affectionately to the Native Americans as ‘firewater’.
In order to distill a liquid, it first has to be fermented. They’re talking about a weak fermented product here, not “firewater.”
