If you like a good alocoholic honey beverage, try an Ethiopian or Eritrean
restaurant. It seems to be the only alcoholic beverage offered in many such
restaurants. A national or cultural drink of sorts (maybe a niche local
market for honey if they brew their own). I have had some excellent honey
wines in such establishments.
