Ethiopia

East Africa

Ethiopia has its own ancient fermented drinks in tella and tej, and a commercial brewing industry running alongside them since the 1920s. Few countries keep an indigenous brewing tradition and an industrial one in parallel this comfortably.

Fig. 2. Circle area is beers on record for that town. Labels appear as room allows, so zooming in reveals towns rather than enlarging them. Only towns whose coordinates could be sourced are drawn, so an unmarked town means a missing coordinate rather than a town without beer.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is only as deep as its sources: 74% of everything it holds is American or Dutch, because that is what the bulk import reached, not because that is where beer is. So the styles most often recorded in Ethiopia are not necessarily the ones most often brewed there, and a country with few beers here has a thin record rather than a thin brewing scene.
