Can beer or liquor brewed/distilled with tree nuts cause someone with a tree nut allergy to react?

I have a mild tree nut allergy. I can be around them but can't eat them. I've had mild reactions from consuming little amounts of pistachio in chocolates, from eating a whole can of cashews (how I discovered my allergy), and from handling pistachios and rubbing my eyes.

Could I have an allergic reaction from drinking beer or liquor made with tree nuts?

I've had beer that was brewed with pecans, which I avoid eating, and I did not react. I also avoid amaretto. Could someone with a stronger or more severe allergy have a reaction?

Thanks, and sorry if this isn't the right sub.
