What is the Strongest Beer in South Africa?

South Africa has a long history of beer production, with the first major commercial brewery established in the 1890s. Since then, the country has seen an influx of smaller breweries producing different styles of beer. The largest brand of beer made with sorghum is Leopard Sorghum Beer, which comes packaged in a traditional cardboard box and has a cloudy brown color with a sour fruity flavor. Hansa Pilsner is the largest of these breweries and produces a medium-bodied beer with a mild carbonation and the traditional malty flavor of a pilsner.

Bantu beer is also produced in South Africa, made with corn grits and kaffircorn malt in a ratio of two to three parts corn to one part malt.
