Tonga's

Royal is a full malt European style lager beer. It has a moderate bitter ness and is not too dry in taste. It is quite “fruity” in flavour.

Royal is brewed with New Zealand malt only. Royal is naturally brewed with malt, sticklebract hops, yeast and water only, no additives. Every batch is individually brewed and processed.

Royal Beer Co has its own yeast which is kept as a pure culture in a “yeast library” in Copenhagen, Denmark.

And as most breweries have been doing since the invention of the cool ing compressor, Royal is cold fil tered.

Royal is packed in returnable and refundable bottles and crates for the sake of the environment.

Royal also produces a Mineral Water in a clear glass bottle.

In September 1987, Royal Beer

began selling “Tonga’s Own Beer” produced at the brewery at the Small Industries Centre in Nuku’alofa.

Shareholder Pripps Breweries of Sweden have a large input into the technical know-how of the operation.

Brewmaster Andries Kijistra has been with the brewery since its inception Andries was trained' by Heineken and has brewed beer for breweries in Holland, the UK and Sweden, and in 1987 Andries won the prestigious “Brewing industry International Award” - first prize for bottled lager.

Royal is very proud to be the local brewery and is very much part of the local community supporting many sports, charities & events every year as well as being a large employer & tax payer.
