Interview | Growing Up Irooni - Back Home Beer on rediscovering the tradition of Iranian beer

I’m so excited about sharing today’s interview with Zahra
Tabatabai, the woman behind the Persian inspired beer brand Back
Home Beer. You might have seen her instagram or Twitter profile
by now- she boasts three different flavors of beer, named Sumac
Gose, Persian Blue Lager, and New Day IPA. Although it was
released less than a year ago in October 2021, her beers have had
quite an impact and presence in the Iranian community- but
despite the success of the social media platforms of Back Home
Beer, Zahra is pretty private, so she doesn’t show up herself
very often on her feeds. I was so curious to get to know more
about her, and was so delighted by her charming personality. I’m
sure you’ll enjoy getting to know her as much as I did- let’s
listen to the interviewA quick note from Leyla here- we talk a
lot in this episode about the poetry that Zahra has chosen for
the Back Home Beer beer cans- that’s a big part of the design of
the cans and the overall message she’s trying to convey with the
beers. Poetry is such a big part of the Iranian culture, and
that’s why we have a whole program devoted to it- our Poetry
course is for complete beginners to the Persian language and for
advanced speakers alike - we cover some of the greatest Persian
poetry and through it learn how to use the words and phrases in
the poems in conversation. You can check out the program and even
sign up for a 30 day free trial to check out all the lessons on
our website at www.chaiandconversation.com- enjoy!
