Dancing Camel – Good Israeli Beer

Israel is not known for its beers. Well, we don’t have the European tradition of drinking beer. Goldstar and Maccabi brands were here for a long time, as regular lager beers. Such lager beers are made in every country. The relatively new Dancing Camel brand is huge leap in Israeli beers. Its both special and tasty.

Dancing Camel Israeli Beer
The picture was taken at the Temple Bar (Cinema City). I recommend drinking it at the Norma Jean.

It began as a “botique” brand that couldn’t be found everywhere, but now its more common. Dancing Camel comes in 4 flavors: Pale Ale (red malt with date honey), IPA India Pale Ale (strong beer with dried fruit aroma), Midnight Stout (an “Irish” dark beer) and Hefe-Wit (Belgian style wheat beer).

If you are a tourist in Israel curious for local beers, go for Dancing Camel. If you are not much of a beer drinker, go for Goldstar – it’s ok. But don’t drink Maccabi! It sucks…
