Two more solid beer festivals are coming up for this week, Wednesday, the Fourth of July, and Thursday, July 5.  These are the Mateh Yehuda Beer Festival in the Mini-Israel Park, and the Hod HaSharon Beer Festival in the Four Seasons Park.

Mateh Yehuda Beer Festival
July 4-5

The Mateh Yehuda Beer Festival has always been a favorite of mine: the beer, the atmosphere, the lights, the action, the grassy lawns, the cool breeze.  After a few years in abeyance, it returned last year in the Mini-Israel Park, which contains a walk-around map of all the major buildings and sites in Israel in miniature.  [Read about that adventure here.]

This year, it's back with at least six craft brewers from the Mateh Yehuda region (Pepo, Srigim [Ronen and Emek Ha'ela], Shapiro, Mosco, Buster's and the new Mettler Brewery), and another five or so from other areas (Lela, Beero, Basha-Flom, Tog and the new Six-Pack [Super Heroes] Brewery in Tel Aviv).  Food and live music are also on the program.

The advanced publicity promises some interesting beers, such as Lela's gluten-free date ale, cherry beer from Mettler, chai massala beer from Tog, and a new German-Israeli Friendship beer brewed in a collaboration between Srigim and the Günzburger Brewery in Germany. 

The Festival opens at 7:00 p.m.  The admission fee is 42 shekels at the door, but you can buy reduced-rate tickets online for only 35 shekels.  The site is in Hebrew only, so if you can handle that, click here:  https://bit.ly/2ldohDO

The admission fee includes two tastings of beer.  Additional tastings are five shekels each; a-third-of-a liter is 20 shekels; a half-liter is 25 shekels.

Within the framework of the Festival, the Mateh Yehuda Regional Council is organizing tours of local breweries on Friday, July 6 and 13.  The cost is 120 shekels.  For more information, call 02-995-8650.

My plans now are to attend the Festival on Thursday, July 5.  Hope to see you there!
