Tea drinking in Yemen
There's more than one way to make tea - and how you make it depends on which part
of the country you're in. (Yemen Times, 1 Mar 1999)
Beer
Alcohol was sold openly in southern Yemen during
the British occupation and, later, under Marxist rule. The famous
Seera beer was produced by the National Brewing Company in Aden -
the only legal brewery in the whole of the Arabian peninsula.
Following the unification of north and
south Yemen in 1990, the brewery began to attract the
attention of strict Muslims and there was talk of closing it
during Ramadan or turning it over to full-time vinegar
production. The brewery was destroyed by northern troops
entering Aden at the end of the 1994 war and has not been
rebuilt.
