No, not Mealies (maize), but sorghum. It used to be called Kaffir Beer, then Bantu beer, then Sorghum beer, then Traditional Beer but universally known as "K" Beer. For anyone who cares about such things, anthropologists reckon its the closest thing to the type of beer drunk by the Ancient Egyptians.
Funny thing, Beer. It probably causes more disputes than anything other than the skills of a national sports team. I speak as someone who kept an substantial Home Pub some years back and entrance was conditional on producing at least two international beers sourced on a trip to the country of origin and a wife that did the PR for the South African Breweries ( Now SAB-Miller). I collected over 200 samples before I had to abandon the project due to the donors drinking all of my scotch.
Clementine Churchill once said "I hate the taste of beer!", to which Sir Winston replied " That is a prejudice most people have at first, but which they find easy to overcome"
It doesn't matter how shitty the beer is--when there is nothing else one gets used to it after the third or fourth round.
Worst beer in the world? Too many candidates.
Best beer in the world?
It's 5.00PM, the temperature is 35C outside, its been a shit day, the bottle/flagon/tankard/glass/stein is at exactly 2 degrees C with beads of condensation rolling down the outside------------better than sex!
