A Pint of cassava


A new beer called Impala Cerveja has been launched in Mozambique. It is brewed in Mozambique by SABMiller's local subsidiary, Cervejas de Moçambique (CDM). Cassava beer is a popular traditional home brewed drink in rural Mozambique. Impala Cerverja is the world’s first commercially produced cassava beer, and has a refreshingly sour taste compared to other beers. This organic beer, a blend of cassava and barley has a stronger taste than conventional beers. Cassava is a root vegetable similar to potato and is highly perishable. The brewery uses a mobile processing plant, which roams local farms to source and harvest and process the cassava within a few hours buying from about 2000 local farms. This support of local communities will hopefully help Mozambique farmers put food on the table.
