Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) is a Namibian brewery founded in 1920 when Carl List and Hermann Ohlthaver acquired four small breweries with financial difficulties. The breweries were merged together under the name South West Breweries Limited (SWB). SWB changed its name to Namibia Breweries Limited when Namibia gained independence on March 21, 1990. Ohlthaver & List Group of Companies are still the majority shareholder.
Products
NBL brew all of their beers according to the Reinheitsgebot (German purity law) from 1516. Other than the four top-selling beers NBL also produces some speciality beers, makes Beck's under license and distributes Guinness and Kilkenny in the region. NBL also has a division called Stortebecker that produces Schnapps. The low alcohol (2%), low calorie product Windhoek Light was endorsed by the South African Heart Foundation.
Production
Currently NBL exports 60% of its production to South Africa and 22 other countries world-wide.
