In Nepal they serve a millet beer called Tongba. It's served warm in a tube and drank through a straw.  Yes, in certain parts of the world you can actually drink beer with a straw. Wikipedia has a good description (http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongba)

I opted to try it with a meal of Indian chicken curry and buffalo kothey (fried momos - dumplings).  You can find it in Kathmandu at The Yak restaurant. Tongba to me tastes earthy, with a very strong grain flavor, and just a hint of tartness in the finish.  It's.
