I think there are many different variations of millet beer. In Uganda, the millet beer I drank was unfiltered to the point of being sludge, served hot, and drank through a 3 foot long reed straw with some cheesecloth on the end of it serving as a filter. It was, uh, interesting to say the least. All I really remember is an intensely boozy, very grainy taste—and a lot of locals having a good laugh at the mzungu struggling with this drink. I bought them a round, for 30 cents. They told me when I come back, I should bring them some t-shirts.

Yeah, this is the typical way of drinking it, at least in Uganda - communally, one vessel, lots of long straws....
