Product History & Interesting Facts
Hopsmith is a proudly Kenyan brand that began with the vision to create globally competitive beers using locally available resources. Safari Breeze was inspired by the easy-going charm of African safaris — laid-back, sunny, and full of flavourful discovery. It was formulated as an alternative to mass-produced lagers, offering a more nuanced, craft-inspired experience without being too heavy or hoppy.
The beer’s name, “Safari Breeze,” is a nod to the coastal winds and safari plains of Kenya, evoking adventure and relaxation — two key elements that make it ideal for everything from barbecues to beach days.
