What it is

The mountain tea and the beer: Albania's everyday glasses — çaj mali (mountain tea from sideritis, served to guests with honey) frames this entry's honest scope, but the drinker's Albania pours Korça beer (founded 1928, the country's first brewery, with its famous beer festival each August) and Birra Tirana at every café. Origins: Korça's brewery (1928, Italian-era) survived communism as the state standard and now hosts the region's big beer fest. Made from: barley, hops, Korça's mountain water. How it's made: 1) Brew pale lager in the Central European style. 2) Serve cold with qofte and grilled meats. 3) Festival week adds music and the whole city. Served: everywhere; cafés run on espresso, beer and raki in rotation. Flavor: crisp lager, Balkan-standard. Strength: 4.5-5%. Culture: Albania's café density is legendary — the drinks rotate, the table stays. See also: Raki (Albanian), Albanian Wine (Shesh and Kallmet).
