Description
Asmara Brewery (formerly, Melotti Brewery) was the first brewery in Eritrea. It was founded in 1939 by Luigi Melotti. The brewery was nationalized by the Derg during the Eritrean War of Independence, and was then inherited by the Government of Eritrea. Ownership in the brewery is shared between investors and the Government of Eritrea. In 1998, its factory exported up to 40% of production, with the remainder being domestically consumed.

Many thanks for this beer to my new Country (134) to Sibarh. Jasna barwa, srednia piana, ale jak na afrykanskiego globalnego lagera nawet trwala. Piwo pachnie litowanymi workami na zboza, w smaku chlebowo-zbozowe, troche kukurydzy. Niewielka goryczka. Dzieki Adam.
