Poor old George was killed by an elephant
By Rocky | April 4, 2008
George Hurst was a founder of the Kenya Breweries Ltd which produced Kenya Lager, but poor old George came off second best on a hunting expedition back in 1923, instead of him killing an elephant, the elephant won the day and killed George. So in memory of George the lager was renamed Tusker and is today the biggest alcoholic brand in Kenya and indeed East Africa. The beer is sold in several markets outside Africa including the UK, United States, Canada and Japan. It has a 4.2% alcohol volume and a crisp taste using the highest quality malted barley which is grown in the beautiful Kenyan Rift Valley. Tusker Lager has consistently won Gold Medals in the International Monde Selection Quality Awards.
