Kibbutz Be'eri

Brewed with barley from Be’eri's fields, a new Israeli beer brings new life after October 7

Jelin, a member of the kibbutz and former MK (Yesh Atid) and head of the Eshkol Regional Council, explains that the original idea was to use the barley malt to make whisky.

 BARLEY WAS grown on 250 dunams of Kibbutz Be’eri on the Gaza border – ultimately used to brew Single Beeri, the first beer made with 100% Israeli-grown barley malt.
