Kenya: East African Breweries ready to launch new brewery in western Kenya

East African Breweries said on July 17 its new 15 billion shilling ($149.25 million) brewery in western Kenya is ready to start production after a successful test run, Nasdaq reported.

The brewer, which is controlled by Britain's Diageo, will kick off activity at the site with a two-year production run of its Senator Keg beer, a low-priced lager made from locally grown sorghum.

It will then move on to mainstream brands like Tusker.

EABL's main plant is located in the capital Nairobi. It announced the investment in the new brewery in the western city of Kisumu last year, saying it wanted to meet growing demand in that region.

The company, which also operates in neighbouring Tanzania and Uganda, has also started to produce some spirits like Captain Morgan rum in Kenya in response to growing demand in that segment.
