Bottoms-up for Sudan

SABMiller will be installing a new lager in Juba , located in South Sudan in February.

The brewery expects to create lots of new job opportunities.

The Sharia Law banned alcohol in Sudan in the 1980's, in 2005 a peace deal was made that led to the south winning the right to have a semi-autonomous secular government.

“We will not only be consuming but producing alcohol. It’s a serious political message of one country, two systems,” the south’s agriculture minister Samson Kwaje told Reuters news agency.

The brewery will not just create beer they will also produce soft drinks and cereal for Southern Sudan.
