Zanzibar is known for men sitting around drinking tiny cups of local coffee on street corners. Dig a little deeper and you'll hear people from Unguja drink coffee, people from Pemba drink tea.

Like any Aussie, I have a cultural attachment to the smell of beer. But I just can't get past the alcohol flavour. Give me Maison over Moët any day, and I'll have a vodka and pineapple juice without the vodka please!
Here we have basically chocolate flavoured fake beer. With a hint of coffee. I think at least part of the fake is because alcohol is haram, verboten, against the rules in Islam. And the guy who owns the big non-coke soda (/dairy/ferry/flour/football/juice) company was originally Zanzibari, apparently, and this archipelago, like my other favourite archipelago, is 90% Muslim.
Chocolate coffee beer has cousins:
So we have options. But give me chocolate coffee beer any day.
Ah... Life is good!!
Peace out <3
