Oktoberfest with Palestine's Only Brewery

TIME magazine recently published an article on Taybeh Beer, the very first brewery in Palestine, and their well attended (10,000 people!) Oktoberfest.

The bonus video is pretty great (please note how many cups deep that festival attendee is):



They've struggled a bit -- being surrounded by Muslim communities that completely abstain from alcohol doesn't exactly boost sales -- but they've found their niche and are turning a profit.

It looks like London may be the closest place to try Taybeh Beer, though the article mentions that there are more Taybeh natives living in Michigan than in Taybeh itself. Hopefully it's just a matter of time before Vargo gifts us a sixer from Detroit.
