Description
Taybeh Brewing Company is a family owned business established in 1994 following the Oslo Peace Agreement (1993) when David Khoury and Nadim Khoury were inspired by their late father, Canaan David Khoury (1926-2002) to return to their home village of Taybeh after spending more than twenty years in the United States and establish the first micro brewery in the Middle East.

The goal was to invest and boost the local economy by introducing new styles of natural hand crafted micro-brewed beers according to the German Purity Law with no preservatives or additives making an excellent Palestinian beer while creating a nationalistic feeling. Nadim Khoury turned his hobby of making homemade beer during college days into a career becoming the master brewer. He is very proud to pass this passion and experience to his daughter, Madees Khoury, the only female brewer in Palestine.

(33cl bottle; german Haus-der-131-Biere-version) Clear, golden colour with a medium-sized foamy white head, leaving lace-work. Discreet aroma: moderately sweet and slightly grainy nose with subtle fruity notes and shy herbal hops. Light-bitter flavour, slim malty base, minimal fruity taste; moderately dry and light-bitter finish with a touch of metal (30.08.08).

Leicht metallerner Geruch. Prickelnd traubenartiger, leicht säuerlich im Mittelteil werdend. Etwas würzig, frisch, getreidig, insgesamt mild. Im Abgang nun etwas würziger, merkwürdig eigen, süß. Etwas komisches Bier, geht aber in Ordnung. Test vom 12.8.2008, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 6,8,8,8,8,8 - 7,80

Bottled. Deep amber colour with mediumsized off-shite head. Aroma is big malts, some hops as well as some roasted notes. Flavour is quite much the same along with some grass. Also the roast is quite mild in the flavour.
