TEL AVIV — Shortly after 10 on a recent morning, an argument begins at Nation Brewery near the stainless steel barrel. Alon, from the Galilee Brewery, claims that the barley malt hasn’t been ground enough, and Eshel Bar-Ilan politely asks the guest to stop making trouble. He says that the barley malt is ground to the exact size that will allow the husk to break away without separating it from the seed.
