50 Beers Around the World (#41- Goldstar from Israel)
Though it might be hard to find an open bar tomorrow in Salt Lake City, Utah, one can be rest assured that finding a beer in Jerusalem should be a bit easier. And, a patron at that bar would probably find a Goldstar Beer, one of the most popular brands in Israel.
Goldstar Beer is a five percent pale lager which has been produced since the 1950s. It is also marked as a 'dark lager beer' though it is pale in appearance, according to Wikipedia.
Of course, it is also certified kosher!
And, the beer was mentioned in the 1981 Duran Duran song "Tel Aviv."
We could not find out if the beer is available in America, and if so how widely available it would be.
As for those of you looking for open bars tomorrow, we learned that The Blue Banana on Georgia Avenue in Washington, DC, will be serving up brew starting at 8:00 p.m.
Right now, I'm listening to a blues song that's about Santa Claus drinking beer from the legendary Lightin'Hopkins!
Drink responsibly....!
