#1 What's funny about all this is that alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the body, so slaking a thirst with beer isn't exactly a smart thing to do.

#3 I drank a lot of Maccabi when I was in Israel back in the 80's. I thought it was pretty damm good. Oh, and forget that Lonestar crap, give me a Shiner Bock any day.

#8 pardon, not lonestar, i should have said gold star, the "other" israeli beer.

Can't really comment on the quality, last time i had maccabi was before i had any developed taste in beer. The israelis i knew all said it was inferior to european beers.

#9 I once picked up a microbrew beer in Daly City a couple of years ago - He-Brew - The Chosen Beer !

There really was such a thing. From LA I think, not Israel.
