Pharaoh beer

With all the sun, the water and the holiday activities, a beer sounds like a perfect plan,

BUT - we are in Egypt...

Means, what kind on beer can you expect from this country?
Is there a special brew made with all the sand? Hopefully not.

Yes the beer is cold

This cool was the main reason to have this beer. I mean, it is not a bad brew - but as well nothing special. For my understanding, there was no real taste that you have from a light pils. It is drinkable and refreshing...

The best I could do with this beer is such a short animation.

Facts about beer in Egypt

Beer in Egypt has long held a significant role, and its presence in the country is thought to date back to the Predynastic period. In ancient Egypt wine was preferred by the upper class, whereas beer was a staple for working class Egyptians and a central part of their diet. Despite religious restrictions and conflicting views on alcohol after the Muslim conquest of Egypt, the consumption of beer did not cease, and it still remains the most popular alcoholic beverage in the country by far, accounting for 54 percent of all alcohol consumption.
