## About

Samoa Breweries Limited (called Western Samoa Breweries in 1978) was formed in 1977 by the Samoan government with the German company Brauhause and local shareholders; the first Vailima was brewed in August 1978 at the Vaitele plant near Apia and the brewery opened in October 1978. San Miguel was brewed under licence in 1982-1990. Carlton Brewery Fiji (Foster's) bought a majority in July 1999; since 2012 it is a subsidiary of Paradise Beverages (Fiji), Coca-Cola Amatil's. Brewing at Vaitele ended on 31 October 2022; Vailima was brewed in Fiji, and since late 2024 by Vailima Breweries Ltd in Samoa, while the company still sells and distributes it. Brands: Vailima Lager, Special Export, Pure, Natural.
