What Nigerian Breweries Does

Nigerian Breweries Plc., the pioneer and largest brewing company in Nigeria, was incorporated in 1946. The company recorded a landmark when the first bottle of STAR lager beer rolled off the bottling lines in its Lagos Brewery in June 1949. This brewery has undergone several optimisation processes and as at today boasts one of the most modern brew houses in the country.

In October 2011, Nigerian Breweries acquired majority equity interests in Sona Systems Associates Business Management Limited, (Sona Systems) and Life Breweries Limited from Heineken N.V. This followed Heineken’s acquisition of controlling interests in five breweries in Nigeria from Sona Group in January 2011. Sona Systems’ two breweries in Ota and Kaduna, and Life Breweries in Onitsha have now become part of Nigerian Breweries Plc., together with three brands: Goldberg lager, Malta Gold and Life Continental lager.
