Pages Spanned: 1-3 Insider: No Infinitypass: No Gravy: Yes Today's national drink: Jenever is the national drink of the Netherlands. It is a juniper-flavored traditional liquor. Jenever was originally produced by distilling malt wine (moutwijn in Dutch) to 50% ABV. Because the resulting spirit was not palatable due to the lack of refined distilling techniques (only the pot still was available), herbs were added to mask the flavor. The juniper berry (hence the name jenever [and the English name gin]) was used for its alleged medicinal benefits. Gin was developed in Britain after introduction of jenever to the island.

Beverage survivor kind of went out with a thud and I'd like to wrap this shit up because music genre survivor seems like it could get heated very quickly. So let's get to it:

Pages Spanned: 1-2 Insider: No Infinitypass: No Gravy: Yes Today's national drink: Akpeteshie is the national spirit of Ghana, produced by distilling palm wine or sugar cane. Before the advent of European colonization of what is today Ghana, the Anlo brewed a local spirit also known as "kpótomenui," meaning "something hidden in a coconut mat fence."[4] With British colonization of what became known as the Gold Coast, such local brewing was outlawed in the early 1930s. The name "akpeteshie" was given to the drink with its prohibition: the word comes from the Ga language (ape te shie, the act of hiding) spoken in greater Accra and means they are hiding, referring to the secretive way in which non-European inhabitants were forced to consume the beverage. Despite being outlawed, illicit spirits remained commonplace, with reports that even schoolboys were able to easily obtain akpeteshie through the 1930s. Demand for akpeteshie and the profits to be made from its sale was enough to encourage the spread of sugar cane cultivation in the Anlo region of Ghana. Distillation was legalized with decolonization and Ghanaian independence. The first factory was established in the Volta Region, taking advantage of the area's supply of sugar cane plantations. Who was voted off: Craft beer Quality of Read (0 - 10): 2

Okay I'm glad I did this because it's moderately fun to recap these and I have a really good idea for the daily trivia bit for Music Genre survivor but man this was boring towards the end. You all better bring some fucking chaos and controversy to the music genre survivor thread. I know many people have already been called bigots but we need to keep up that energy every! single!! day!!!
Do you want to dance while also thinking about all the ways you've failed as a human?
