"And please show me where in the bible water from a brewery is evil."

It doesn't have to be evil, it just has to appear evil.

1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

Be holding yourselves back from every form of perniciousness (Kenneth S. Wuest, The New Testament: An Expanded Translation)

Nothing on what it "looks like" (and the argument about what it looks like is already a far stretch). This is talking about the verious ways that perniciousness can work.

The apparent misunderstanding here is one of the dangers of leaning on an antique translation for one's theology, without having the antique tongue as your first language.
