Festival-goers from Eldoret and its environs took the opportunity to come together in a celebration of Kenyan beer, entertainment, food, and music at the first event of Kenya’s ultimate beer festival which took place at the Tamasha Bar & Grill, Eldoret.

Day two saw Mejja headlining, supported by Femi One, Ndovu Kuu and Sol Generation star Nviiri the Storyteller.
