Lone Tree brewery, which began selling beer commercially in 2010, was founded in 2009 by Myriam and David Shire and Susan and Yochanan Levin. The Shires originally lived in Glasgow, Scotland and moved to Gush Etzion in 1983; the Levins immigrated to Israel from Maryland, USA around 2006. Yochanan graduated from Theopolis College in 1996, where he studied biology and genetic engineering. David Shire, a biologist and resident of nearby Neve Daniel, worked at the Hadassah Medical Center in Jerusalem and later as a landscaper before finally pursuing his dream of establishing a boutique brewery. For Susan Levin – who is involved in the brewing process from measuring, mixing and boiling Lone Tree's beer ingredients to bottling the final product – Lone Tree is an expression of the Jewish people's historic connection to its land.

 

Lone Tree brewery takes its name from the ancient oak tree that survived the Jordanian presence in Gush Etzion between 1949 and 1967 and that serves as a symbol of Gush Etzion. The same tree also inspired the company's logo.

Lone Tree manufacturing facility is housed in a 50-square-meter building in the center of Gush Etzion. According to Susan Levin, it is a destination for visitors fromTel Aviv and Haifa as well as from abroad.

 

Lone Tree brewery has a weekly output of 250–300 bottles, or 800–900 bottles per month. It produces between seven and eight varieties of beer, including an oatmeal stout, an India pale ale, a California common, a Piraat-style ale, and a pomegranate ale. As of 2011, Lone Tree's beers are available primarily in the Gush Etzion area and in Jerusalem. They were featured at the BEERS conventions in Tel Aviv in 2011 and 2012, and they were featured at the 2012Mateh Yehuda beer festival.

 

For the first time, Lone Tree beer will be available in the USA, exclusively through Lamed Heh importers!
