Lone Tree Brewery is an Israeli kosher brewery located near the Israeli settlement of Kfar Etzion in the Gush Etzion bloc in the West Bank.[2] [3]

History

Lone Tree brewery, which began selling beer commercially in 2010, was founded in 2009 by Myriam and David Shire and Susan and Yochanan Levin.[4] The Shires originally lived in Glasgow, Scotland and moved to Gush Etzion in 1983; the Levins immigrated to the West Bank from Maryland, USA around 2006. David Shire, a biologist and resident of nearby Neve Daniel, worked at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and later as a landscaper before finally pursuing his dream of establishing a boutique brewery.[5]

Lone Tree brewery takes its name from the ancient oak tree that survived the Jordanian presence in Gush Etzion between 1949 and 1967 and that serves as a symbol of Gush Etzion. The same tree also inspired the company's logo.[6]

Lone Tree manufacturing facility is housed in a 50-square-meter building in the center of Gush Etzion. According to Susan Levin, it is a destination for visitors from Tel Aviv and Haifa as well as from abroad.

Products

Lone Tree brewery has a weekly output of 250–300 bottles, or 800–900 bottles per month. It produces between seven and eight varieties of beer, including an oatmeal stout, an India pale ale, a California common, a Piraat-style ale, and a pomegranate ale.[7] [8] As of 2011, Lone Tree's beers are available primarily in the Gush Etzion area and in Jerusalem. They were featured at the BEERS conventions in Tel Aviv in 2011 and 2012,[9] [10] [11] and they were featured at the 2012 Mateh Yehuda beer festival.[12]
