Al Ahram Beverages Company
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.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
Sakara Gold
