A Bolivian brewer has decided to make a beer out of the coca plant…the plant who’s leaves are used to make cocaine. Details from the New Zealand Herald:
A Bolivian brewer has come up with an innovative solution for quenching thirst and coping with altitude sickness: coca beer, based on the same leaf used to make cocaine.
The beer in question is called Ch'ama, or "Strength" in the Aymara language of the Lake Titicaca area natives. It is made from malt, yeast, hops and soaked coca leaves, with no additives or preservatives.
