Persian (Farsi) term or phrase: ﻜﻮﺸﺎﺐ
This appears to refer to a type of non-alcoholic beer, and I can't find it in my dictionaries or on Google. It is followed in the text by an Arabic phrase in parenthesis meaning, literally, "barley water". Is it a brand name?

barley water


Explanation:
In this context, the Dehkhoda dictionary defines it as "grape syrup" or "barley water" (ab-e jo and ma' ashsha'ir)

It could also be a new brand name in Iran. Perhaps our friends there can tell us.
