About Nile Breweries

Nile Breweries Limited (NBL), established in 1951 by businessmen associated with the construction of the Owen Falls Dam, has grown into Uganda's leading beer manufacturer, boasting a 59% market share and an annual production capacity of 2.45 million hectolitres from its breweries in Jinja and Mbarara. The company's purpose is to "Dream Big to create a future with more Cheers," aiming to serve up new ways to meet life's moments and make a meaningful impact in communities and the world.

NBL has earned recognition for its commitment to sustainability, notably winning the National Environmental Management Authority (NEMA) Award in 2012 for excellence in environmental protection.

With a workforce of over 500 employees, NBL provides various job opportunities, which are regularly updated on their official website.

Innovation is central to NBL's business model, exemplified by the introduction of Eagle Lager in 2002, a sorghum-based beer crafted from local grains predominantly grown by smallholder Ugandan farmers. The company's core values emphasize quality, responsibility, and community engagement. NBL actively participates in corporate social responsibility initiatives, including supporting over 10,000 local farmers to grow and supply barley to its maltings plant and implementing sustainability goals aimed at holistic environmental and social impact.
