Southern Sudan Beverages Limited is a brewery based in South Sudan and owned by SABMiller. The brands that are manufactured are ''White Bull'', Nile Special and Club Pilsner pale lager beer. The Company also produces soft drinks such as Club Cola, Club Berry, Club Lemmon,Club Pineapple, Club Orange, and Club Apple . In addition to soft dinks and beer, the Company also produces spirits such as Konyagi Gin, Vladimir Vodka, Regency Whisky and Valeur Brandy. ==History== SABMiller has an investment in the company while it was within the jurisdiction of Sudan. It built a ~£32 million factory〔 in Juba, making it the first manufacturing facility in the country〔 and came despite competition from imported beers from Kenya and Uganda. The initial plans to start a brewery had begun in 2006 before the launch in 2009. The company's initial challenges included logistics as material to build the first factory needed to be driven into the country from Mombasa, Kenya〔 including two second hand brewery machines from Malta and Bulgaria〔 and a power plant needed to be built, while the only ingredient of beer available was local water from the Nile and the over 250 workers who had mostly never been employed before needed to be trained from scratch.〔 The malted barley, hops and yeast are imported but there were plans to work with local farmers to start brewing with cassava.〔 The factory has a capacity to produce 180,000hl of clear beer and 60,000hl of carbonated soft drinks annually. The flagship White Bull's colours are yellow, green and white and are served in heavy brown bottles. It is also illegally available in Khartoum, Sudan.〔 Production started in May 2009.〔 Ian Alsworth-Elvey is the inaugural managing director of the company. A new Managing Director, Carlos Gomes was appointed to take over the business in March 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=South Sudan brews beer )〕 This was, however, not the first attempt to build a brewery in the country after Belgium's SYBETRA built the White Nile Brewery in Wau in 1983, but the Sudanese government did not license the project due to sharia law.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southern Sudan Beverages Limited」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
