Brewing with purity at the edge of the desert

Brewed in Namibia since 1920, Windhoek Lager is made according to the German Purity Law (Reinheitsgebot), using only three ingredients: barley malt, hops, and water. In a country defined by vast landscapes and stark natural beauty, this crisp, no-compromise lager has become a national icon — refreshing, honest, and dependable.

Produced in the capital city of Windhoek, it’s a beer shaped by environment and ethos: clean, clear, and crafted with pride.

“Brewed with nothing to hide”

Windhoek Lager 4% is brewed without adjuncts or additives — just pure malted barley, noble hops, and water. Its light golden body and soft bitterness make it perfect for hot climates and relaxed, sociable drinking. Whether enjoyed at a braai, a bar, or out in the bush, it delivers straight-up refreshment with no unnecessary extras.

Fermented and conditioned with care, the result is a smooth, well-balanced lager that’s both easy to drink and full of integrity.

“A proud part of Namibian life”

Founded by German settlers in 1920, Namibia Breweries Limited (NBL) has grown to become the country’s leading brewery. Windhoek Lager remains at the heart of its portfolio — a beer deeply embedded in everyday Namibian culture and known across southern Africa.

Exported globally, it represents both a commitment to traditional brewing and a uniquely Namibian sense of place. Its distinctive green bottle and no-nonsense branding are instantly recognisable to drinkers around the world.

“Windhoek Lager. Pure beer.”

Brewed to 4% ABV, Windhoek Lager is sessionable, reliable, and brewed with purpose. It’s a beer that reflects both its origins and its method: straightforward, refreshing, and made without shortcuts.

Whether you're in Windhoek or the UK, it’s beer the way it should be — pure, clean, and brewed right.
