Star Breweries of Madagascar

Brewer of Three Horses Beer, which is not merely the best-selling beer in Madagascar but something closer to a national emblem. THB has been made here since 1958, from two breweries — one at Antsirabe in the centre of the island and one at Antsiranana in the far north — which is what it takes to supply a country a thousand miles long with poor roads. The archive records the producer's name carefully, because AI-generated research supplied to it attributed THB to a company called Brasserie de l'Sihanaka, which does not brew it.
