Windhoek Lager

Namibia

The desert's Reinheitsgebot: Windhoek Lager — brewed in Windhoek since 1920 (Namibia Breweries, from the German colonial brewing heritage) strictly to the 1516 purity law, exported across southern Africa as the connoisseur's lager; with Tafel Lager as its everyday sibling.

What it is

The desert's Reinheitsgebot: Windhoek Lager — brewed in Windhoek since 1920 (Namibia Breweries, from the German colonial brewing heritage) strictly to the 1516 purity law, exported across southern Africa as the connoisseur's lager; with Tafel Lager as its everyday sibling. Origins: German settlers founded the breweries (Hans Kroger's era); South West Breweries (1920) became Namibia Breweries; the purity-law discipline survived independence as the brand's soul. Made from: malted barley, hops, water — nothing else (the label boasts it). How it's made: 1) Brew lager in Windhoek. 2) Mature cold and long. 3) Serve at sundowner hour over the savanna. Served: at lodges, braais and Windhoek's Joe's Beerhouse (the institution). Flavor: clean malt, noble hop bite. Strength: 4%. Culture: in Namibia, 'a Windhoek' is a quality argument settled — the desert makes thirst an art form. See also: South Africa's beers' neighbour, Tusker (Kenya).
