Free Iran? What does that even mean? The revolution in 1979 "it was widely seen as an act against the U.S. and its influence in Iran, including its perceived attempts to undermine the Iranian Revolution and its longstanding support of the shah of Iran, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was overthrown in the same year" Check out the interference of the US in Iran, 1953. The 28 Mordad coup d'état was a U.S and UK instigated, Iranian army-led overthrow of the democratically elected Prime Minister Mohammad Mosaddegh in favor of strengthening the monarchical rule of the shah, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, on 19 August. Without the US/UK backed coup d'etat in 1953 there is no Iranian Revolution in 1979. Lets not re-write the History of the region in a Hollywood fashion. Fantastic beer

Came for the beer, stayed for the history. Good luck to her and her dreams.

Dang she's super knowledgeable, can't believe it all started from self-teaching and trial and error! Good for her.

Heh ya she's fine just dumbed it down. Not a high end brewmaster but a decent homebrewer. And most current craft beer brewers started out self taught making beer in their kitchens or garages. It's a bug and once bit you're not gonna want to do much else 😂

I really respect her educated views of Iran. Would be hard to not recognize the country of your heritage. This is awesome.

Lady, that was super educating. Both on the history of Iran and of course, beer. I sure wanted to try one. Good luck to you, may you sell more beers with each passing day.

hahahaha good one!

Wonderful video! I've been homebrewing for 8 years at this point, so It's really cool to see someone brew their traditional beer styles! For anyone wondering, she is doing a technique called "kettle souring" Typically boil happens right after mash, but with Lactobacillus it's soured, then boiled once the PH is correct.

Keeping tradition alive,doing the job the right way from the heart,will always lead to helping others understand what you’re trying to do,so when you get more beer out there for everyone to enjoy and drink 🍺 and enjoy.

Really great to see how what might be my favorite beer brewed in NYC get made! Looking forward to exciting new things from Zahra and Back Home

Major shoutout to the production and post-production team. I must say, the sound design is completely brilliant!

Omg I would love to get my hands on that craft beer…I don’t drink but I would definitely have some for my guests that come to my home…looks delicious!

Loving the vendors series!!

Jeez man! RESPECT! Amazing (more than sad!) to see such fascinating people still fighting for their basic liberty...

I love it. From Guyana South America

This brewer is my hero! I want to drive to New York to get this beer!

I remember hearing Zahra on Sporkful. Great guest and top tier series.

This beer needs to be in every Persian restaurant in the world

I really want to taste her beers, they sound so different! I really hope one day she can brew beer back home and ship it all over the world

Have tried a few of these. Their sumac gose is different but delicious with a good sour cherry flavor.

Mee too. She will have a webshop soon. Just checked her website. Hope that she will be shipping to Europe. Very interested in the flavours.

Love it! I hope this video increases viability for Back Home Beer so that Zahra can eventually receive funding for a brewhouse of her own. Too often marginalized individuals are overlooked for business loans and we end up with similar beers being brewed by similar people just because they're tried and true. I don't believe any true fan of craft beer wants a completely stagnant scene. Heck, I'm already experiencing burn out with the supersaturation of IPAs.

“When people think about alcohol, they don’t think about the Middle East” I think of Sumerian beer and Israeli wine. The vineyards of Israel and Judea that had been cultivated for thousands of years were destroyed in the 700s of the Roman calendar by Arab Muslim colonisers, but there were still Jews and Samaritans growing illegal grapes, and smuggling in wine throughout history. And B"H nowadays there are multiple vineyards again in the Negev, Golan, haGalil. Also, there are hieroglyphic mentions of beer in Egypt dating back to the First Kingdom. Again, the industry was only destroyed when the Arabs invaded Egypt, and tried to erase Copts, Nubians, and other indigenous ethnicities of Kemet. It’s uncomfortable for some people, but the Arabian rulers practiced a colonialism as terrible as the Europeans did in the 1500s of the Roman calendar.

Everything 🔥🔥🔥. 💗

Would love to have seen Iran when it was a free society for all. Hoping change will come to Iran for good. Freedom for all.

This is awesome! Wish I could taste it

We need to try! Trader Joe’s needs to stock!!!!

How can i get this in Chicago??

The Shannameh Iran's national epic has a rather hilarious chapter where a (pre-Islamic) king bans alcohol after one of his courtiers gets so drunk crows peck his eyes out while he's passed out. Then a woman petitions him that her son needs a drink to get it up on his wedding night and he allows it again in moderation.

Where can I get!

is it a day drinking beer??? no. its the bar inbetween sipper beer. 7.9/10

i'd drink this over bud lite thats for sure

I really wish Iran goes back to it's original ways like before

Nice work. I hope she gives back to her culture and not only profit off of it.

Under the Reinheitsgebot you couldn't call her beer BEER nor most modern beers since you couldn't introduce CO2 artificially. And the original was barley, hops and water only no added yeast or other grains, spices or fruits. So I don't understand your reference to the Reinheitgebot and this video.

For the love of Ægir, the god of brewing, please continue to brew and buy real beer of all styles. If the megacorporation's get their way we will be drinking nothing but watery piss made with whatever can be fermented in to alcohol.

1:05 man that is not how you open a bag of malt. Alot of times these contract brewing don't let you actually brew. You just give them the recipe and they brew for you.

It is sad to think of the erosion of progress that religion causes. The muslim peoples had some of the greatest mathematicians and astronomers. They created algebra and they named the stars. They were the center of technology and education and people of different countries would come to share in their knowledge and enlightenment. And then they closed the door on all of that and cast themselves backwards into the bonds and slavery of religion. I hope those wonderful people get their freedom back someday.
