According to SBC’s Brewmaster, Ronn Rittmann, “It is a joy for us to go through all the precise processes to deliver products that others in turn enjoy. This recognition spurs us to keep imagining, celebrating the craft, and striving for the best.”

On receiving the exciting news, NBL Managing Director (MD), Marco Wenk, commented “These awards are a testament to the dedication that goes into each of our beers. We are inspired by the passion, enthusiasm and curiosity that our brewers bring to work to deliver brews we can delight in and share. Well done to all the winners, particularly our fellow Namibian brewers who contribute to positively shaping our local beer culture.”
