What do Kenyans love more than football? If you said beer then you’re correct. Let’s put it this way, Kenya Breweries Limited hasn’t been thriving since 1922 because Kenyans don’t drink. This weekend was great for Kenyans in general, there was a football match, but more importantly, there was the Tusker Oktobafest 2019.
Kenya Breweries Limited (KBL) through its flagship brand Tusker, held a one of a kind beer festival in the country over the weekend at Ngong Racecourse, Nairobi. The event, dubbed ‘Tusker Oktobafest 2019’, celebrated Kenyan authenticity, by bringing to life Kenyan culture through beer, entertainment, food and music.

During the two-day event, Kenyans enjoyed a range of beers and food as they get entertained by the nation’s top artists and Deejays. The line-up of artists included Sauti Sol, Nyashinski, Khaligraph Jones, Jua Cali, Fena, The Kansoul, Bensoul, Nadia Mukami, Sailors, Ethic, Hart-the-band, and Karun among others. Ticket holders also enjoyed great tunes from Deejays Joe Mfalme, Blinky Bill, Kace, Suraj, Adrian, G Money, and Dii amongst others.
Here’s what Kenyans on Twitter had to say about the event
It’s the best event of the year. According to various tweets, the event should serve as an example for all other events to be organised in Kenya.

The person who organised #Oktobafest needs to put it down as a case study. Yo!!! The partners, location, pricing of the tickets (including incentives for purchasing your ticket) AND THERE WAS NO INTERNATIONAL ARTIST.

It was a lot of Kenyan entertainment and fun for just the right price. Each ticket cost KSh. 1,000 and each ticket purchased came with two redeemable beers from the house of Tusker (Tusker Lager, Tusker Lite, Tusker Malt, and Tusker Cider).
The debate of Kenyans can never support or attend an all Kenyan line up event is over… Give them good ticket price and they will attend. Yesterday and today is enough evidence…. I am at racecourse main stage.. come and beat me.

Yoh! Event organizers, get enough sponsors for your events, there’s no need fo y’all to be overpricing tickets and giving us mediocre performances. Do a case study on #TuskerOktobafest. It doesn’t have to be big as that but VALUE for our money is all we need.
