Vailima (beer)

Vailima is a family of beers brewed in Samoa by Samoa Breweries[1] and is one of Samoa's most popular beers.

In July 2022 Samoa Breweries announced it would cease brewing Vailima in Samoa and move production to Fiji.[2] Following public opposition to the move it licensed production of the beer to a Samoan producer in August 2022.[3][4]
