West Bank Brewery celebrates success Nour Odeh, Al Jazeera, Oct 21, 2009
Taybeh is a Palestinian town deeply rooted in history and cut off by Israel's separation wall, but life under occupation has not stopped them from brewing a prize-winning beer. The beer made at Taybeh Brewery - named for the town where it was first brewed and, incidentally, the Arabic word for "delicious" - is not only popular among Palestinians, but has a following across the world. Taybeh beer has proven to be the inspiration of what is becoming a modern-day tradition for the village.
