Maccabee Beer

Maccabee is a well-known Israeli beer brand that was first introduced in 1968. It was originally formulated by a brewmaster from Czechoslovakia to create a premium European-style lager for the Israeli market. Over the decades, it has become one of the country's most recognized domestic beer brands.

The brand is produced and owned by Tempo Beverages Ltd., based in Netanya, Israel. While the brand has deep Israeli roots, Heineken N.V., the global brewing giant headquartered in the Netherlands, holds a 40% stake in Tempo Beverages. This partnership allows Maccabee to benefit from international brewing expertise while maintaining its identity as a staple of the Middle Eastern beverage industry.
