| Sierra Leone Brewery was established in November
1961 at the Wellington Industrial Estate. It is one of a number of
Breweries operating in West Africa with Heineken as adviser. The Star
beer was introduced as early as January 1963, and today the brewery
produces two other brands: Guinness Stout (under licence) and the
non-alcoholic Maltina. Apart from brewing, the Sierra Leone Brewery is
involved socially in the country. It initiated the National Amateur
Boxing Tournament in 1970 and has sponsored it since then. The brewery
also sponsors other sports like Golf, Table Tennis and Volley Ball.
