drinking with my oldest friend visiting from london, he is an animator. i took him to depopulated poorest state in the union with many christians and millet beer. here we are drinking millet beer from the sat'ni variety of millet in a quasi-shop arrangement; it is one room with the family sleeping in one corner (man, woman, daughter) and the brewing apparatus in the other corner, opposite the single table and chairs for patrons. most people take-away. the drink has medium body and is quite sweet, it isn't served carbonated and needs to be fresh (brewed 3-4 days before) as it sours quickly (it is essentially a raw ale). it is actually much nicer refrigerated but good luck getting that. when brewed outside of the market this drink (termed zu in local dialects and khaung'yee by national language) has ritual significance at marriages, births, deaths, etc. and predates the godawful baptist conversions of the late nineteenth century. it's still made and drunk much the same way outside of the towns, in true use-value terms, it has social meanings, is not packaged or commodified. though of course this is all changing quickly
