Save water drink beer.

The beer of Barbados is Banks, missed out on a tour of the brewery when they didn't respond to my calls or emails for reservations. Anyway, Banks is a special kind of place filled with imported hops and barley. Their beer is great, thanks to the awesome water which they use to brew. The fresh water supply has been naturally filtered through coral, and although slightly hard, it is good for brewing. An interesting thing about Banks is that they have license from Guinness to brew Foreign Extra, a 7.5% Stout, rich in hops bitterness. I love Guinness and this is very different from what we have state side.

That same water makes a great pizza dough. We ate some really good thin crust at Mama Mia's west of Accra along the coastal road.
