“Other than contributing the kingdom’s income, Ngule, will create jobs for people in Buganda and elsewhere- from distributors to retailers as well as farmers in Buganda and outside Buganda that will grow the beer’s ingredients. This will have a significant impact on Buganda and the rest of the country,” he said, adding: “When you drink Ngule, you will not only be savouring the true taste from our motherland, but you will also be building Buganda kingdom.”

High quality, but affordable

Speaking at the launch, Nyimpini Mabunda, Managing Director, UBL hailed the warm and strategic relationship that the company has enjoyed from the people of Buganda. “Uganda Breweries shares a heritage and history with the People of Buganda. Bell Lager, our flagship beer, was created in 1950, here in Buganda, at Port Bell, Luzira on the shores of Lake Victoria (Nalubaale). All our other brands have been part of the joys and celebrations by the people of Buganda and Uganda at large for over half a century. We are now very proud to launch, Ngule- a beer for Buganda,” he said.

“Ngule recognizes and celebrates the progressive nature of Buganda as a people; people who celebrate their achievements and successes and thus deserve to be crowned and rewarded. Ngule is a beer made for celebratory occasions- it is a reminder that life rewards those who work at it,” said Nyimpini.

Nyimpini said that at UGX1500, Ngule is the most affordable quality beer in its category- a deliberate decision by UBL to get more Ugandans to consume formal beer, thus moving them away from illegitimate, poor quality and potentially hazardous alcohol.
