This is me drinking some local tala with farmer friends. Tala is a beer of sorts made from sorghum, millet, sprouted barley, and gesho (a native plants which aid in fermentatin).
Many farmers make tala in their house and grow specific varieties of barley or finger millet that is best for brewing.
Local alcohol seems to be an essential part of life around the world. Tala is the best Ive tried yet - the process is difficult, but is sure is cheap and tasty!
