Ancient Grain with
a Ginger Kick
A Homecoming Rooted in Grain
It began in Larantuka, the town where our roots run deep. There, we met a “mama” whose love for sorghum reconnected us with our roots.
In her nursery, she nurtured ancient seeds like heirlooms, keeping alive a grain once central to our culture.
Through her, we saw that sorghum wasn’t forgotten — just waiting to be reawakened.
We didn’t find sorghum on a market shelf,
we found it on a homecoming journey
From Ancient Grain to Bold Brew
Inspired, we returned to the brewery with something bigger than an ingredient—a mission.
We experimented for months, determined to bring this ancient grain into a bold, modern expression.
The result is Halia — a sorghum beer with a ginger kick that’s bright, spicy, and deeply rooted in NTT’s soil.
It’s more than a drink. It’s a cultural revival in every glass — calling home the flavours of our ancestors.

At Bale Nagi Brewing, beer is more than a drink — it’s a story. Halia is our invitation to reconnect with the land, the grain, and the people who came before us. We’re not just brewing beer; we’re reviving identity, regenerating interest in Indigenous crops, and reclaiming food sovereignty — one pour at a time.
