A closer look at Chibuku.

Opaque sorghum and maize beer brewed commercially and sold still fermenting in cartons and plastic Scuds that must be shaken before opening.

What to look for

Know it when you find it.

It keeps fermenting, so the container swells and the taste changes by the hour. Shake it, do not sip the settled layer.
