The story of Tusker is as rich as its flavour. The brand was founded by brothers Charles and George Hurst. In a tragic twist of fate, George was killed by a male elephant (a “Tusker”) during a hunting expedition shortly after the brewery opened. In a moving tribute to his brother, Charles named the very first batch of beer “Tusker.” Today, it stands as a symbol of Kenyan resilience and unity.
100% Locally Sourced Ingredients
What makes Tusker truly unique is its commitment to its roots. Every sip is a taste of the Kenyan landscape:
- The Barley: Sourced directly from the sun-drenched savannahs of the Maasai Mara.
- The Water: Gushed from the crystal-clear natural springs of the Aberdare Mountain ranges.
- The Yeast: A proprietary strain developed entirely within Kenya to ensure a flavour profile that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
The brewing process is a meticulous blend of science and tradition, involving malting, mashing with hot spring water, and the addition of choice hops to create that signature “immediately likable” taste.
