hardly any fungi are yeasts though – for precision you want to specify something other than the kingdom of the organism who's excretions (which isn't waste – it's an antibacterial defense mechanism) you want to ingest, if only because a blind sampling of fungi excretions would kill you before you hit any booze.
You also need hops for beers, what he's ordered is grain alchohol.
It also could be talking about sake; it uses two kinds of microbes (koji and yeast) in parallel fermentation. Incidentally, it's not the hot water that "breaks down" the malt in brewing beer; it's the malting process that does that.
In any case, it's less precise than if he just said "beer".
