The Past, Present, and Future of Middle Eastern Beer Brewing
Beer brewing, wine making, and distilling all have long histories in the Middle East. In fact, liquor, beer, and wine are still available in most countries within the region, despite the Islamist revivals that have swept the area since the early 1980s. Heineken owns breweries in Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon.
Islamist revivals?
They have them every so often...
