The river, the beer…

                                               ...and a history of taste

More than four thousand miles in length, the mighty Nile is the longest river on earth. This great waterway has played a monumental role in the history of the African continent. It traverses an incredible variety of landscapes, a colourful medley of cultures and, since the beginning of time, has enthralled civilizations with its power and mystery.

Circa 1950

The Nile River has also played a unique and historical role in what is now a multi-billion dollar industry – beer. The oldest known evidence of beer brewing is a 6 000 year old carving on a clay tablet, depicting beer drinking scenes. It is from waters of the Nile River in Ancient Egypt, that the humble beginnings of beer brewing took place.

Many centuries later, this relationship between the river and beer re-emerges. Today, four thousand miles inland from the sea, up this great natural wonder, you will find Lake Victoria , the world’s second largest body of freshwater. Fed by numerous rivers and streams around its lengthy shoreline, this huge water mass finally spills over into a wide ravine at Jinja. This ravine is the beginning of the Nile River and its great journey to the sea. It is the Source of the Nile

And here at the Source of the Nile, you will find something special being brewed: Nile Special Lager.

For close on fifty years the fast flowing aerated waters at the Source of the Nile, combined with the most carefully selected natural ingredients from around the world, have consistently produced a unique, full-flavoured rewarding beer; internationally renowned, award winning Nile Special.

Nile Special, a brand trusted for the past 50 years for its consistent rewarding flavour, will continue to justify that trust into the future, rewarding generations of beer lovers to come.

Nile Special.
