Kegna Beverages S.C. introduced its flagship product, Kegna Beer, at a launch event in Addis Abeba's Convention Centre, near the CMC area, where more than 700 guests gathered to mark the occasion. The new lager, with a five-percent alcohol-by-volume (ABV) content, is brewed from malted barley, hops and water and will reach store shelves in mid-June in 33-centiliter and 50-centiliter bottles, as well as 30-liter kegs, the company disclosed.

“This isn't merely a beer made in Ethiopia,” said Abiyu Abera, the company’s commercial manager, capturing the event’s spirit. It's made of Ethiopia."

The company employs over 250 people but plans to expand its workforce to 1,000 as production ramps up.
