Kenya Breweries has launched a new brand – Guinness Smooth into the Kenyan market even as the popular beverage is aiming at fighting growing competition in the country.
The local brewing team in Kenya has worked closely with the international brewers in Dublin, the home of Guinness, to deliver an exciting product that is considerably ideal for casual get-togethers with friends.
Mr. Kennedy Mwangi, Head Brewer, Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) says, “Guinness Smooth is brewed using only the finest natural ingredients, many of which are sourced locally.
