Carakale is a Jordanian Craft Beer founded in 2010 in the town of Fuheis near Amman. [1] The brewery is named after Caracal, a mammal that is native to Jordan, and Ale the main type of yeast used to produce Carakale. [2]
Carakale was Jordan's first microbrewery and its first production beer was a blonde ale of the same name intended to serve as entry-level brew for the Jordanian domestic market, which was unacquainted with craft beer culture.
The brewery sold its first bottle in late 2013, was producing 40,000 bottles a month by mid-2014, [3] and was available in most of the approximately 600 stores, bars, restaurants, and hotels that sell alcohol in Jordan by late 2017. [4]
Carakale has collaborating with several US breweries, including the Arizona Wilderness Brewing Company, with which it made a Dead Sea-salted and grapefruit-flavoured Gose beer, "Dead Sea-rious", and the Against The Grain Brewery, with which it produced a fig and chamomile Pilsner and a za'atar-spiced Saison.
