Namibian Lager Windhoek hits the UK

Just as the sun arrives in the UK, so does a new tasty, foreign Lager.  Brewed and imported from Namibia, Windhoek lager has been crafted according to Reinheitsgebot (a 494 year old regulation concerning the production of beer in Germany), using only three natural ingredients – malted barley, hops and water.

Windhoek Lager is now available at Tesco, Morrisons and Asda among others at an RRP of £ 4.29 for a pack of 4 x 330ml bottles.

If you are not one for beery lager, Windhoek (pronounced ‘vint-hook’) is perfect for you as it is not that bitter and at 4% it’s not too strong either.  Award winning beer expert Ben McFarland comments; “A great deal more aromatic than your average, archetypal African lager, Windhoek squares succulent malt sweetness with a snappy, crisp grassy hop character. Delicate and very drinkable.”

Interestingly, Namibia has been the home of Windhoek Lager for over 90 years, and as one of the biggest selling beers in South Africa, it is cherished for its quality and purity.
