Tiswin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tiswin is a North American Indian alcoholic beverage brewed from corn.

Tiswin is the sacred saguaro beer/wine of the Papagos.

The saguaro, the largest cacus in the world, is in many respects the sacred tree of the Papago, and from its fruits they make a sacred fermentation called tiswin or sometimes nawai.

[edit] Trivia

An inability to obtain tiswin was one of the reasons Geronimo and others left their reservation and attempted to return to the land of their ancestors.^{[citation needed]}
