“It was nice to be free”, a Palestinian brewer has said of a recent trip to Scotland to launch a lager brewed in partnership with a Scottish company.
Madees Khoury travelled to the UK from the West Bank village of Taybeh in August, as part of the Taybeh Brewing Company’s collaboration with Glasgow-based firm Brewgooder.
During the visit Ms Khoury, who is the Middle East’s first and only female brewmaster, launched the lager Sun and Stone, which is is now stocked in more than 1,600 Co-Op stores.
