Seems like someone turned up later and added a little extra as when you read it the earlier crowd at the funeral were fine but it was the later lot that got poisoned including the brewer. So any bad brewers out there beware as that's how they get you in Mozambique :o

Evidently it was contaminated with crocodile bile. The moral don't put crocodile bile in your beer

I would advise against adding crocodile bile to your beer. Stick to whale testicle and you should be grand. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-30777516
