Kenya's flagship lager is named after the elephant that killed one of the brewery's founders in 1922, the only major beer brand in the world named after the animal that killed its owner.

Only towns whose coordinates could be sourced are drawn, so an unmarked town means a missing coordinate rather than a town without beer.

Oldest brewery with a sourced year: Kenya Breweries, 1922.

These are facts about this record, not about the world. They are counted from the beers on file, and the atlas is only as deep as its sources: 74% of everything it holds is American or Dutch, because that is what the bulk import reached, not because that is where beer is. So the styles most often recorded in Kenya are not necessarily the ones most often brewed there, and a country with few beers here has a thin record rather than a thin brewing scene.
