"It was huge," says Pontier, a missionary pilot. "It was black. The skin was kind of bouncing up and down on it." From its bulk and color, Pontier thought it was a buffalo until he circled down for another look. "I saw it again just before it went into the forest," he says. "It was an ape--and a big one."

In the tasting room, three generations of Chinese families sit at tables, passing Tsingtao blond, dark and even green (the latter is made with spirulina) from grandparent to parent to child. A four-year-old downs his, smacks his lips, and challenges mom to a toast. Cries of "Ganbei! [Cheers!]" echo in the hall as faces flush and cigarettes are lit. Tourists from Japan, Taiwan...
