Bavaria Brouwerij (Swinkels Family Brewers)
Established in 2015
Just like the vast diversity in cultures, languages, and regions that represent Ethiopia, Habesha Breweries reflects all Ethiopians. Our people illustrate the beauty and rich diversity that one can find in Ethiopia.
Our team is working closely together with local farmers. We assist them in professionalizing their business, helping them to grow better quality barley. Their better quality seeds yield up to 30% higher profits, whilst our brewery guarantees strong demand for their produce.
Our beer is brewed from Ethiopia’s best water, directly sourced from the highland grounds of Debre Birhan, there where our proud and passionate people transform prime quality yeast, barley malt and hops into our beloved beer.
Note: Although the above description is interesting, many of their beers are brewed in Holland.

Rated at Suomenojan jätevedenpuhdistamo. Sweetish, slightly stuffy and cardboardy with hints of malts and earthiness. Decent, but quite easy going
