EXTRA! EXTRA! Read all about it!! Kenya's Tusker Lager is NOW AVAILABLE in America after years-long hiatus! Thank you to our PR partner, Imagine Communications , for helping me get the story out! The Wachira Group's vertical - Soko Distributors, is the official new importer of Kenya's beloved pale lager, which is now licensed in 11 states (California, Nevada, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, Georgia, Florida, Washington, Missouri, Oregon, and Pennsylvania) and Washington, D.C. SOKO hopes to expand availability to three additional states each month.
The woman responsible for Tusker’s return to the US is Dr. Chris Wachira a Kenyan-born entrepreneur who has spent 15 years at Stanford Healthcare working in neuroscience. Along the way, Dr. Chris also fell in love with the science of winemaking and licensed Wachira Wines in 2017, which highlighted a distribution gap in the industry for boutique wineries.
