Does a beer made from a caffeinated beverage remain caffeinated? I realize that the amounts of caffeine are so low that a bottle of coffee porter, for example, wouldn't be the same as a cup of coffee. I'm just curious if the yeast or alcohol reacts with the caffeine.

Slainte!
 
I'll wait for other to check in, but I do not see any reason in the fermentation process that caffeine would be reduced or eliminated. Not necessarily relevant, but my Irish Coffee certainly retains its caffeine.
