Due to its religious, social, and political outlook, Middle East is often overlooked by drinks brands. Brewers have invested in domestic brewing of beer where they were allowed to, devising a parallel offering of locally-made non-alcohol beers and have created product portfolios for export, aimed particularly at those countries where alcohol is completely banned. They launched malt beverages, a parallel offering to non-alcohol beers.
