A good friend in Maputo pointed out to me that I wasn't quite telling the truth on this weblog. Time to set things straight. In a previous entry I mentioned that 2M was my favourite beer in Mozambique, but I have to admit that this is not entirely the case. The Pilsner lager I actually prefer however, is not easy to get. One of the most widely acclaimed beers in Southern Africa is Laurentina Clara, produced in Mozambique. It has won many awards, but unfortunately the prize winning variety is not available to just anyone, in spite of Laurentina's slogan of being 'the beer on every corner'. The so called Laurentina 'primeira linha' is not the same stuff they sell in popular bars or cafés downtown - which tastes like dog food. I only found the genuine prize winning lager in the pool bar of the posh Terminus Hotel - and that is not exactly my kind of place. So by lack of availablity, I go for my ever present second best: 2M. But if you can ever find the real Laurentina, go for it. ;o)
