Drinking in Bogota: Chicha and Real Beer
Bogota is one of the few places in the world were you can go to a museum and see fine art, have a great meal, and then get a glass of chicha. Chicha is a thick, cream-colored, low-alcohol drink made from fermented corn drink. In La Candelaria you will see signs on lots of bars saying “Chicha Hoy!” The flavor is distinct, kind of tangy, kind of sweet. It’s definitely unique, and the flavor will stick with you for at least two beers (which you’ll be swilling just to get rid of it). I’m not saying it’s terrible, it’s just not that good. You should try it since its there, why not?
