I'm sitting here enjoying a nice cold Tusker Lager and enjoying the memories of that same beer after a long day of hunting in the Selous. Finding a few cases of Tusker here in Georgia was easy, but that has me wondering if there's also a way to get Kilimanjaro Lager from Tanzanian Breweries. Have you ever seen it distributed in the US?

Where did you get the Tusker? I will be at your house at 6:00 p.m. tomorrow for a couple and maybe a steak on the grill.

Seriously, is there a distributer in Georgia?

Have truck, will drive!

BTW, Emmy (the one at UGA) is hitting me up for a buffalo hunt in Zim next year.

Tell the family I said hello!

And I like Ndovo the best of the Tanzanian beers but will do a local search for the others!

Judge, I wish you were here sipping on something with me on this last cool night of the season. You may just have to come chase some turkeys around with me rather than wait on deer season.
As for getting Tusker, the distributor in Georgia is just a bit north of you in Savannah. In fact, here's their list of US distributors. You can call the one that's nearest you and they'll tell you the store in your area they work with. They'll then get some delivered to your nearby spot. I picked up 3 cases here in town just yesterday.
It's always nice to get a good taste of Africa here at home!

There is one in Orlando!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks

Jeff

I've found Tusker at Jax Liquors in Cumming, GA. They have an enormous selection of beer.

Hey there appears to be one here in Jacksonville as well. That's great news since I can no longer get Castle. jorge

Just remember those are distributors (wholesalers) and they usually cover large portions of states. In Georgia, for example, the one distributor in Savannah works with every significant city around the state, so you'd be buying locally from a store that orders your Tusker from that wholesaler. You just need to contact the distributor and find out which store in your area he supplies.

Beers Of The World in Rochester, NY sells Tusker FYI. I haven't seen Kilimanjaro anywhere this side of the pond. Let me know if you find some.

This really goes to prove there's no justice in this world!!! You guys can buy east African beers in the US, but we can't buy them in South Africa! Eish!

Ahh.. Tusker Beer.
Sitting at J.A. Hunter's Lodge, Kenya drinking Tusker's with a lovely Swedish Lass.

Jeez Oz, there's much more to you than I thought....You are into all forms of the hunt eh? Shouldn't you have posted your picture on the European hunting forum though? Okay, I get it - you were hunting exotic game in Africa! In that case, it must have been a canned hunt

Dave

Dave,

Don't be silly. I can distinctly see that beer is in bottles and not cans.

Ah, Those African memories....

They sure as hell didn't have it today.

Just ask him to order you some...Cheers!

Judge G et all.
Tusker is in Savannah at the Beverage Warehouse on Abercorn St. just west of the old mall across the street from Books a million and next to the men's warehouse. They have it in single bottles and what appeared to be 12 packs. The clerk says they sell a fair amount of it and keep it in stock. I can get more details or give better directions if anyone wants.

Wahoo! They have a distributor in Calgary AB, and I happen to be goin' there tomorrow.

This is from my first evening in Tanzania...the fellow in the pic is my hunting partner Don_G...


Good times.
