Dubai is poised to get the Gulf’s first large-scale brewery as a Heineken NV joint venture plans to start producing popular beer brands in the emirate, a landmark move for a region that’s long had strict restrictions around the sale and consumption of alcohol.
Sirocco, a joint venture of Heineken NV and Dubai-based Maritime and Mercantile International, will start building the brewery late next year and has secured all necessary permits, the company said a statement. Construction is set for completion in 2027.
