About Chibuku
Chibuku is the opaque sorghum beer that leads Zimbabwe's traditional beer category, first brewed in the country in 1962. It is sold in two forms: Chibuku Scud, a still beer in a cardboard carton, and Chibuku Super, a carbonated version brewed from locally grown maize and sorghum and now also sold in banana, pineapple and ginger variants. Delta brews it in Zimbabwe and through the traditional beer businesses it bought in Zambia and South Africa.
