HAPPY HOPS

Yip, it’s here: Durban Poison (R19) dagga-infused lager … well, hemp, actually. ‘Hops and cannabis are closely related and share similar chemical characteristics,’ explains Graeme Bird of Durban’s Poison City Brewing, the first in SA to latch on to this worldwide trend (Heineken, Corona and Molson Coors offerings are all in development). Expect an easy-drinking low-calorie beer that’s lighter in alcohol (and won’t get you high).
