The taste of a new beer , Kingdom Lager , has been enjoyed by many last week in Tonga after it was launched at the Tali’eva Bar in Nuku’alofa.
The beer has been brewed in Fiji and cans were available in Tongatapu Island markets.
It is expected to start brewing in Tonga by a local brewery in March.
Kingdom Lager is a product owned by Siaosi Koloamatangi of EKT Investment Ltd.
In 1987 the late King of Tonga started the first largest ever brewery to be established in the Kingdom and it brewed the Ikale and Royal Beers but no longer produced and the company wound up few years ago.
Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.
Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
