Kweza Craft Brewery
End your tour at Rwanda’s first craft beer brewery, introducing women to brewing and creating opportunities for female farmers. Today, Kweza continues to honor the tradition of beer. In Rwanda, and most cultures around the world, women have traditionally made beer but not been able to benefit from that creation and lineage at the commercial level. Kweza aims to have women running all aspects of the business and to enable African women to share in the profit of the product they've historically always made - as investors, staff, or leadership - and ultimately build generational wealth on that history. What to Expect: Tour the brewery to see how different flavors are produced, learn about the craft of brewing beer, and enjoy a tasting of their six unique flavors as you wind down your day.
