GHANAIANS LOVE BEER

In Ghana, the love for beer is enormous. This is one factor you can never deny the people of Ghana. Both men and women express their love and passion for the drink in various ways.  It would be surprising to note that it was out of the love for the drink that the term "chale" came about.

Yes "chale" is the short form of "chalewate", which in Ghana means slippers, but to the Ghanaian who has great passion for beer and loves to have fun, even though it means slippers, the short form "chale" means FRIEND.

It is no surprise that Ghanaians are so friendly and welcoming in a wonderful way. I know the question running through your mind now is, how and where is the link between beer and the hospitality of Ghanaians? Well here is your answer. In the years past, our grandparents welcome visitors with a calabash of "pito" a locally brewed drink from palm tree. They would serve their visitors with this sweet drink and accompany it with a very hearty chat. Today the story is still the same but with a little bit of twist. When you visit somebody today in Ghana, the person appreciates your visit with a beer (adults only) just to say welcome before conversation begins.  

Beer is one of the fastest growing liquor beverages in Ghana, with club beer and especially star beer rated as the nations favorite. Star beer according to beer lovers is a well brewed beer which gives a well rounded overall bitter taste and long lasting "bubbley" and foamy feeling in the mouth of its consumers. This product has undergone many reviews in times past and even now. It was introduced into the country in the late 1960s and has since been accepted by the majority of Ghanaians and has a slogan "star beer, the nations beer". It is s product of Guiness Ghana Brewery limited "GGBL".
