Beer in Jordan

Beer in Jordan has existed since its first introduction in the region thousands of years ago in ancient Iraq and ancient Egypt; today the country has several companies producing beer. In 1958, the first Amstel beer factory outside The Netherlands was established in Amman. Several other local companies took the lead in producing beer; however, the country had no microbreweries. In 2012 Jordan's first microbrewery was established called Carakale Brewery.
