As the festival season
heats up (literally and figuratively), this week is bringing along three
kinetic beer festivals: Afula in the central Galilee (August 14), the
Goma Intersection in the Upper Galilee (August 14-15), and Modi'in in the
center of the country (August 16).
Afula Beer and Food
Trucks Festival
August 14
Named the
Afula Beer and Food Trucks Festival, this one opens on Tuesday night, August
14, at 6:00 p.m. in the Afula train station. Admission is free.
Musical entertainment will be provided by Moti Taka and Chanan Ben Ari.
Over 45
brands of Israeli and foreign beers will be on sale. What seems to be the
emerging pattern, you can buy vouchers for three, four or five glasses of beer,
and there will be discounts for soldiers and students. The organizers
went out of their way to ensure vegetarians and vegans that they will not go
hungry at the festival. Gluten-free beer will also be available.
Children
are welcome to the station area if accompanied by a parent, but you must be
over 18 to enter the beer stands. Participants are reminded to come
early, take public transportation and drink responsibly.

The
First Beerzia at the Goma Intersection
August 14-15
The first Beerzia, the Israel Beer Festival in the
Galilee, will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, August 14-15, at the Goma
Intersection south of Kiryat Shmona in the Upper Galilee. The gates open each evening at
5:00, and entrance and parking is free. There is no announcement of how
many different beers will be poured, but the usual "good beer, good food
and good music" are promised.

Modi'in Beer Festival
August 16
The Modi'in Beer Festival is returning again this year
on Thursday, August 16, in the courtyard of the Azriel Mall. I really
enjoyed myself there last year.

The
same Alechko organization which is running the Afula Festival (above) is also
doing the Modi'in Festival. The announcement was in identical language,
including the typos!
Six
p.m. is when the doors open; free admission; 45 different brands of beers, food
stands, music, etc. Even the coupons for buying three, four or five
glasses of beer are the same. You can buy the coupons ahead of time and
