Absolutely not. However, you may replace the yeast if you modify the way you prepare the recipe. Rapid rise yeast does not require as much rising and kneading as does traditional yeast. In fact, rapid rise yeast eliminates the need for the "first rise" that traditional yeast calls for. Therefore, if you replace rapid rise yeast with traditional yeast, you will have to let your dough rise, punch it down, and then form your bread (or whatever) and let it rise again before baking. Also, the proportions of yeast are different. Multiply the amount of rapid rise yeast by 1.25 for the equivalent of traditional yeast.

Can you use beer instead of active dry yeast when baking bread?
It would depend on the beer, but probably not. Beer yeast and bread yeast are not the same. Most beer is pasteurized, which means the yeast will have been killed off. If you have a home brew, or an unfiltered beer, you may be able to get the bread to rise, but I would doubt it. That would make it good and better than dry yeast.
