Watch | Israeli brewery recreates beer from time of Jesus

Updated on Apr 21, 2016 04:11 pm IST

A brewery in Jerusalem produces craft beer with a taste they say dates back to Jesus' time. The Herzl brewery used wheat that was used in the Holy Land two millenia ago. The brewery produced a five gallon (20 litres) batch, drunk mostly by Gutman and his friends.There's a hint of honey and berries in the cloudy and flat suds, not what most people look for in a beer. That may help explain why Judaism and Christianity's sacred beverage is wine.
