Small beer

Think of Israel and micro-breweries producing delicious beers do not spring to mind. When it comes to beer, the Jewish state has only the headache-inducing Macabee and the very weak Gold Star and Nesher on offer.
But now, beer-lovers, your prayers for a decent Holy Land real ale have been answered with the creation of Dancing Camel

According to Green Prophet, Dancing Camel, one of Tel Aviv’s great small, local breweries, makes absolutely delicious beer. From Pomegranate Ale to Cherry Vanilla Stout… they know what they’re doing. Coming from a female non-beer drinker, you can take my word for it. I would never drink the stuff unless it was good. They offer a great local product that serves as a wonderful alternative to imported, carbon-footprint heavy beers (they recently sold their beers at Tel Aviv’s slow food farmer’s market). And to top it all off, their brewery in southern Tel Aviv has been the home of some great parties.
