尽管商业啤酒，进口烈酒和葡萄酒可以在加纳的酒吧，派对甚至葬礼上找到，但对当地尖顶的品味正在增长，部分是由爱国推动加纳制造产品的一部分。
西非国家的温度通常位于摄氏26至32摄氏度（80至90华氏度）左右，因此不难找到冷藏啤酒。啤酒市场以三种商业酿造的饮料（Sabmiller），Star和Guinness（都是Guinness Breweries）主导的，但是有一些独立的公司突然出现替代品，可以促进当地食材和帮助农民。
加纳唯一的微型酿酒厂的所有者克莱门特·德杰梅（Clement Djameh）在德国的魏恩斯坦啤酒厂（Weihenstephan Brewery）学习，然后在领先的啤酒厂工作，直到他建立自己的啤酒厂。他使用土地本地的食材，例如高粱，一种谷物，它取代了他的比尔森犬和牛油素中的大麦。
Djameh在加纳首都阿克拉（Accra）郊区的两层楼房屋的重新底楼上，检查了他的酿造设备。他的Inland Breweryis Ghana’s only microbrewery.
After working for one of Ghana’s commercial breweries for 20 years, he decided to set up shop in 2003, creating a market for sorghum which grows in the north of Ghana.
该作物已经用于在整个非洲大陆酿造传统啤酒，包括加纳的皮托。
Djameh在德国的Weihenstephan期间研究了农作物。他还为联合国工业发展组织开展了一项计划，以寻找高粱的工业用途。目的是将农民避免将其用作加纳的生存作物，使他们成为将其作为原材料出售的市场，例如替代大麦麦芽，就像一系列尼日利亚产品一样。
He took this passion for industrial sorghum for poverty alleviation with him, building his microbrewery around it, “simply because the farmers can benefit from it,” he says.
Djameh通常会为婚礼，葬礼和聚会而出售啤酒，并发现他无法跟上加纳的需求。他现在正在努力扩大自己的行动。有了一些国际媒体的报道，其他啤酒爱好者也通过整个大陆与他联系，他们希望帮助建立自己的微型酿酒厂。
“When I started in 2003 there were only two microbreweries in South Africa—I was reading an article (then) that depicted it as a fledgling industry, but suddenly now they have almost 300,” he says. “It grew expediently.”
倒下一个kokroko
Wherever there is beer in Ghana, chances are there will also be akpeteshie, a local spirit made from sugarcane or palm wine. It’s cheap and strong, around 40-percent alcohol, found all over the nation, from streetside bars to funerals.
It’s also the base of cocktails in one of Accra’s most popular bars,共和国。
共同所有者Raja Owusu-Assah说，酒吧是建立在促进加纳制造的，从饮料到油炸山药的基础。
Akpeteshie是加纳（Ghana）种植的甘蔗制成的，是他们广受欢迎的鸡尾酒系列的基础，在周六晚上拥挤的周六晚上，彩虹形成了彩虹。
到目前为止，酒吧中最受欢迎的鸡尾酒是Kokroko，是Akpeteshie，芙蓉花和姜的充满活力的粉红色组合以及其他当地草药。酒吧从未推广它，但“人们充满激情地认真对待这种饮料”。
A common scene he finds is grown, burly men coming into the bar in the evening, ordering the drink, and—without any small talk—downing the drink then leaving.
他说：“他们不是在寻找共和国的经历，而只是在寻找科克罗科的经历。”
It’s just as common to see glasses of the drink in the hands of Accra’s young and hip on the outdoor Republic dance floor on a Saturday night.
专注于饮料和酒吧中的食物的当地食材不仅对Owusu-Assah，而且对他的国家都很重要。
“传统市场在很大程度上依赖商品的进口，即产品甚至服务。从字面上看，我们正处于一切进口。牙签是进口的，因此范式的转变将对整个经济发展得很好。实际上，实际上无需从其他地方进口所有东西，主要是因为您具备生产能力。”他解释说。“这就是我们的食物和饮料背后的精神和哲学。”
加纳制造的抓住
It’s a sentiment echoed by Ghana’s government, elected to power a year ago.在任职的第一年，总统纳娜·阿库福·阿多（Nana Akufo-Addo）促使公民支持加纳制造的人，并努力建立该国的农业部门。一个关键政策是在国家每个地区介绍工厂来创造就业机会，并遏制对进口的依赖。
Entrepreneurial company BB Wine Distilleries is producing wine from the cashew apple that might otherwise go to waste. The company is hoping to get government support to expand the project, perhaps becoming one of the factories to fill this government mandate.
David Amponsah Boakye started BB Wine Distilleries in 2014 in Ghana’s Brong-Ahafo region, famous for its cashews.
He wanted to find a way to use the cashew apple that was being left to rot on cashew farms—echoing the added emphasis in Ghana to add value to raw materials, with an eye on exports.
“I thought we could add value to the apple—even make it much more expensive than the nut,” he says.
从2014年到2017年，他对将苹果果汁，中性酒精，葡萄酒和啤酒进行处理近40人进行了培训。他希望能够在2018年加大生产时能够雇用它们。
The wine has found a home in an unlikely place, Boakye says with a laugh.
“We started the wine last year, the only client we have for the wine is the Roman catholic church. They use it for services—the cashew wine is very aromatic.” The wine is used as the Blood of Christ is some Catholic churches in his area, he says.
Boakye wants his cashew wine to go further than those church walls, so he is planning to get investors on board to expand—to roll it out across Ghana and into wine glasses across the globe.
Boakye重申了广泛的自豪感，并推动加纳制造的成为该国市场的一部分，以及更远的地方，他补充说：“我们为我们是加纳人而感到自豪，我们为市场带来了新的东西。我们想从加纳带来全世界追求的东西。”
