Tempo Beer Industries Ltd. is Israel's largest brewer and the country's second largest beverage company. While its most famous brand is the world-renowned Maccabee Pilsen, the competing Goldstar beer brand is the most popular Tempo beer in Israel which was acquired in a 1985 merger. They are also the sole distributors in Israel for Heineken, which owns a 40% share of Tempo, and producers of the popular Nesher non-alcoholic malt drink. Tempo not only brews beer. It is the local bottler of PepsiCo drinks, and also produces juice-based drinks under the Jump brand-name. In September 2004, Tempo acquired a 39% controlling interest in Barkan Wine Cellars, Israel's second largest winery, which also produces boutique Segal Wines, Keglevich vodka, and Stock 84 brandy.
