Mzungu banned all traditional brews and africans were not allowed to take bottled beer. Very selfish.
Fermentation is fermentation whether you are fermenting grapes (wine), barley/corn/maize (beer), potatoes/wheat (vodka), honey (muratina) or maize (busaa), coconut (mnazi). Even the spirits are the same - whisky from distilling beer, changaa from busaa. It's only that mzungu ages his "changaa" in oak barrels to add flavour and calls it single malt whisky.
So sad that africans were made to hate their traditional brews and worship mzungu drinks. Its the new form of colonization/slavery to ensure all alcohol profits go to london to sustain "the empire".
A mzungu in europe is free to ferment barley or maize and sell to us as heineken or distill and sell to us as johnnie walker. But when a kenyan tries to do the same the APs raid your premises and you are dragged to court.
