South Africa, here we come!

Our ol' pal Bryan Dean passed on this key information: South Africa is one of the 10 best places to drink for non-locals. Here's what USA Today had to say:


South Africa

Lamprey enjoys a homemade beer called umqombothi. Although it's best home-brewed, you can
buy it in cardboard cartons at stores. "I went to Cape Flats shantytown and
drank with locals and had a great time." Another surprise: Klippy and Coke, a mixed
drink with local Klipdrift brandy and cola.
This home brew? We've had it. Ladies and gentlemen, Exhibit A:
It taste kind of like a white wine milkshake, which actually tasts kind of good. It's called beer, but unlike actual beer, I think it's tasty. You can find it at any local underground bar. Here's the bartender from our cultural tour at Coffee Bay. He poured the carton - worth about 50 cents - into this empty coffee can and passed it around the room. Small children partook. Good times.
