Askarus ale

This is a pale ale, flavoured by several forms of grass and herbs found in the Sa'ar Desert. The story by the name is somewhat obfuscated, with some attributing it to a popular brewer, others to an old name for the grass that contributes most of the flavour.
This ale is very common throughout the desert and even beyond. Around the south-eastern regions, it is more or less expected in most taverns. There are even "mahi'skarusi" (literally 'askarus places') that focus entirely on serving the beverage together with a small meal.
Of course, one of the reasons the ale is so popular is that it's very easy and cheap to make in large amounts.
