I have read that the beer called “4 pine vostok”, from the 4 pine brewery, has been specifically created to be used in space to be safe for astronauts.
Why is is not safe for astronauts to drink regular beer?

I can imagine that the added CO2 scrubbing would be an annoyance too. A single can of coke is equivalent to about 3.5 hours of breathing for CO2 if my maths is correct. So if every astronaut on the ISS had one can of coke a day, the atmospheric systems would basically be supporting another human.
Probably not a massive issue but higher load leads to more stress and maintenance.
