Are you certified by any Rabbi?
We are not a kashrus certifying agency and we don’t certify Starbucks stores. We provide kosher information about the products offered in Starbucks stores. All the information offered on this website can be verified in any Starbucks store.

https://kosherstarbucks.com/faq#:~:text=Are%20you%20certified,any%20Starbucks%20store.
What are you referring to?

I think you are misreading the site. They explicitly say they are not a kosher certifying agency.

They then indicate specific products which are certified by the LKO and in the FAQ they explain what the LKO is.

FWIU they are saying they are approved by the LKO.

It may not be officially affiliated, but it is very much affiliated. See the about page of the forum https://learn.oheltorah.com/about

Thanks. The PDF I was looking at must have been outdated; I searched for "Kansas" and came up with nothing.

Must be very outdated, b/c the Boulevard beers have been on the CRC list since 2013.
