The city of beer

Jerusalem’s beer festival takes place this week, on Wednesday and Thursday in Independence Park. It’s a fun event with which to mark the official end of the summer, with some great bands and beer tastings. My nephew got me into the spirit last weekend with some wheat beer selections for our family Friday night dinner. While I’m not heading to the festival myself this year, I will celebrate with a glass of Canaan Beer’s stout.

But I did catch a glimpse of one of the posters advertising the festival, and loved this particular play on words:

The logo reads: ‘Ir Habira’, which can mean the capital city, or, the city of beer, as bira is the word for both capital and beer.
