Peace in the Middle East

For centuries, millenia even, the world has longed for peace in the middle east. At last there's a new idea, a new hope. The embodiment of this hope is Taybeh beer. Brewed on the Palestinian west bank, Taybeh is Arabic for "delicious". And it is this delicious microbrew that is bringing both sides together for Oktoberfest every year. One might think that drunken Israelis and Palestinians might be a recipe for disaster, or at least one hell of a bar room brawl, but so far it is uniting them with a common interest. This is almost crazy enough to work.
