BierTalk English 41 - Interview with Obakeng Melope, brewer and award winning film maker from Jericho, South Africa

In this episode we take you far south – to South Africa, to the
small village of Jericho near Pretoria. There we meet Obakeng
Melope, an award-winning filmmaker and passionate brewer. In her
new film she combines two ancient arts: brewing traditional sorghum
beer and telling stories around the fire. We talk about how beer in
South Africa is deeply connected to culture, rituals, and family
history, why women are the guardians of this brewing tradition, and
how Obakeng’s project Beer is Art inspires young people to
reinterpret old knowledge in new ways. Get ready for fascinating
insights into South African beer culture, moving stories of
grandmothers who have passed down brewing for generations, and the
vision of a woman who sees beer not only as a drink but as a true
art form...
