🌍 Egypt · Large Brewery · Known for Euro Pale Lager
Known for Euro Pale Lager

Egypt's national brewery, founded in 1897 — one of Africa's oldest breweries. Home of Stella, Egypt's most iconic beer, brewed continuously since the British colonial era. Now owned by Heineken. Al Ahram also produces Sakara Gold and Meister. Despite Egypt being a predominantly Muslim country, Al Ahram serves Egypt's tourist industry, Coptic Christian community and secular urban population. Stella is as Egyptian as the pyramids — the beer of Cairo's rooftop bars and Nile-side restaurants.
