Craft beer is good for public health
I realise that it might be a bit controversial to say that craft beer is good for public health but I will try to explain what I mean.
It’s not craft beer in itself that is good, but the awareness of what you eat and drink and how it is produced. A greater awareness around what you drink also changes the way you drink. Instead of drinking 10 light lagers until late at night you change your behavior to instead have 2-3 beers of really good quality. Often it is not even possible to drink 10 Barley Wine or Guinness a night. My experience is also that once people get tired of light lagers they do not return to that type of beer. Therefore, the craft beer revolution is good for public health.
A great thing is that the interest in beer is increasing every day in southern Africa. New breweries emerge and the quality and variation of beer produced just gets better and better.
The craft beer revolution has finally reached Africa!
