Video Showing the Middle East’s Oldest Brewery Getting Demolished

The Laziza brewery (“Laziza Grande Brasserie du Levant”), which was established in the early 1930s and closed in 2003 got demolished a couple of days ago to make way for a new project called “Mar Mikhael Village” by Lebanese architect Bernard Khoury.

Activists have been fighting for months to delay the demolition and turning the old brewery into a historic community space but unfortunately, the brewery is now gone.

Here are few pictures from the brewery taken few months ago.
