  • Beer Deserves All the Hate It Gets. Here’s Why

    Beer Deserves All the Hate It Gets. Here’s Why

    Everyone has their vices, but there’s no reason why your vice should look like — or in this case, taste like — your problems. Especially as a Nigerian. So, if you like beer and you live in this unreal country, you must really not like yourself sha. And if you’ve been wondering why people hate it so much, here are the reasons:

    1. It looks like urine 

    Other alcoholic drinks try to be neat or attractive with their colours, so you’ll feel better about yourself when you drink them. But beer couldn’t even be bothered to try. It just went and decided to look like piss. That says a lot.

    2. It smells like ass

    It tries to be kind to you by warning you in advance about its terrible smell, but the warning is never enough. Nothing should leave your breath smelling like spoilt eggs mixed with palm wine, but beer does that out of the wickedness of its heart.

    3. It makes you bloated

    Lowkey, every alcohol bloats you but beers own is just razz because why is it doing too much when you didn’t even enjoy drinking it in the first place? Honestly, beer could learn a little humility, Idk. 

    4. Everyone has a problematic uncle that likes it

    That’s a big red flag tbh. Notice how only people with bad vibes like beer. Or how, in Nollywood movies, the wicked man always drinks beer before coming home to beat his kids for no reason. Art mostly imitates life, and that’s on periodt.

    5. Beer drunk is embarrassing 

    If you get drunk after drinking beer, it’s never the cute type of drunk that makes you flirty or giggly. It just goes straight to agbero or makes you think about your life. So razz. 

    6. It tastes like horror

    If you’re going to drink alcohol, the least you can do is drink something that tastes sweet. You’re trying to avoid your problems or just get drunk for the sake of it, so why would you drink something that tastes like disappointment?

  • We’ve Found Legit Reasons For You To Love Beer More

    A wise man once said “He was a wise man who invented beer.” That wise man was Plato

    How you gonna argue with Plato?

    Nigerians love beer and we can’t even deny it. Beer parlors are always full, come rain or shine.

    Don’t ask me how I know this. It’s research.

    Research shows that Nigerians consume about 12.28 litres of beer per year, the most in Africa.

    Appaz, we’re also the Giants of Africa when it comes to drinking.

    Beer even has some health benefits! What more do you want from a drink?

    For real lol. Beer can actually help with reducing the risk of heart disease, providing bone strength, reducing kidney stone, cancer and diabetes risk, improving eye health and much more! If you drink too much sha, it can also help beat up your liver. These guys have even made a business out of “therapeutic beer”.

    If you fall into the category of people that say “I don’t like beer”, I’m just here to tell you that you don’t know what you’re missing.

     And if you need some more convincing, will these delicious beer cocktail recipes help?

    Beer Punch

    Get a large jug/bowl and mix in about 35cl of Sprite, 60cl of pineapple juice and six bottles/cans of beer. You can also throw in sliced lemons, limes, oranges or whatever for an extra touch. Trust me, this will change your mind about beer forever!

    Bull’s Eye

    Pour 80ml of lime juice (three or four limes) into a jug, add a can of beer and ginger ale, then add like two tablespoons of sugar. Stir well and pour over ice. This is so refreshing with a nice ‘punch’.

    Lemon Shandy

    Start with 60ml of lemonade and add 24cl of beer (almost an entire small bottle). Just keep adding until you’re happy with the taste. And if you’re extra like that, add a few fresh mint leaves. A much easier and local version of this drink is mixing beer and Sprite. So delicious! Find more recipes here.

    Today is International Beer Day, a ten-year old global celebration of beer!

    You know conversations are especially lit over beer, so drag your friends out this good Friday night and go turn up!

    Buy some local beer to celebrate the day o, like Star Lager.

    Buy Naija to grow the naira. 🙂
