Yay! Great post! You win for best photos, hands down (if I do say so myself). I wish I had had more time to visit all of the booths…but I’m glad you liked ours the best.

Yes, the more we attend alcohol expos, the more familiar we become with the blurry photo phenomenon Maybe that should be how we judge events — the blurrier the photos, the better the evening (or the early afternoon …)

We did have a good time, and the beers were wonderful. Love your photos, Liz. Most of mine came out blurry. Maybe because I was somewhat blurry myself, what with sampling this beer and that one all evening long…

Dancing Camel’s rosemary-flavored was a delicious surprise, and Bazelet’s Amber Ale was so good I brought some home. Cheers!

Hey A-Man, yes, people do drink beer (and wine) here, but popular is relative — Israelis aren’t big alcohol drinkers compared to other western countries. For instance, I’ve met Germans who say that when they go out, they have 5 or 6 beers. That would be pretty unusual here.

Hey Liz,
surprised that you write about israelian beer..never thought of beer in Israel.

I’m curious… The beers on the pictures above have a nice color..
Is beer a popular drink in Israel?

I had a great time with everyone. It was very exciting to see some of the Israeli microbreweries that were started by Sabras (non-expats). I think we have a great future as a small, thinking-out-of-the-box, beer brewing culture.
