  • I asked these Indians: "Do men ever make Chicha?" My question was met with gales of laughter. The women howled. Bent over in hilarity, one replied, "Men can't brew. Chicha made by men would only make gas in the belly. You are a funny man! Beer is women's work."

  • Beer is sacred business, a mood-altering food substance that may have preserved the human species. To drink beer is to be human.
