Cambodia is a liquid land with a lake for its lungs, first shaped by water, and where humans ingeniously shaped water itself. Alcohol in Cambodia, known as sraa, is integral to the country’s food and drink culture, yet has received little recognition by writers and researchers. This book boldly takes up this challenge with its historical narrative of alcohol in Cambodia and its depiction of sraa as it is crafted and consumed today. Based on four trips and three months of fieldwork over 2022–2023, author Luke Corbin has applied his professional brewing experience and the research expertise developed from his seminal 2022 book Heritage Drinks of Myanmar to compose another compendium of a Southeast Asian nation’s unique drinks and drinking cultures, with over 130 colour photographs.
