Please do read the full story and rate Taybeh Beer if you've had the chance to try it.
Probably one of the things one least expects to come across on a visit to the Israeli-occupied West Bank is a high-spirited beer festival in full swing.
But that is exactly what visitors to the small Palestinian Christian village of Taybeh were treated to at the weekend.
...
The brewery's main challenge is getting its product to market under the strict travel restrictions imposed by the Israeli military on this part of the West Bank.
The only route in and out of the village is controlled by an Israeli military checkpoint, there for the protection of three settlements lying east and west of the village. Taybeh residents and their wares need special permits to use the roads.

Great story which does a lot
Great story which does a lot to break down stereotypes of the beer lovers living in that area. Was in the area and Middle East eons ago, but don't remember that beer unfortunately.
