I had heard that chicha was a beverage non-grata in Colombia, but I thought it was a joke. "Half the places around here sell chicha, including the street vendors on every corner," I pointed out. "How can it possibly be illegal?"

That's fascinating.
I was reminded of my friend who runs an izakaya in Asakusa whose hobby is flavoring (and tinting) sΕjΕ« β basically Japanese vodka β with a wide variety of things.
@estherschindler "legality" is a wibbly wobbly concept here. :)
