this is not the first time taybeh beer has received media attention. but maybe it's newsworthy not just because it's unique, but because the brewery, founded in 1994 by david khoury and his family who moved to the little town of tayba (pronounced tie-bay) on the west bank of palestine from brookline, massachusetts tells a story about hope and people doing things--making things, filling a niche--from a different angle from what's normally in the news. (one woman does wonder why this story was placed in the "opinion" section of the nyt. curious... though, that's just imo).
taybeh means "delicious" or "good and kind" in arabic. and the beer sounds mighty tasty. click on the link to read roger cohen's story about business on the west bank from the perspective of beer.
