By JOHN KAMAUMore by this AuthorOver the years, I have watched the derelict Allsopps Brewery building overlooking the General Service Unit headquarters hoping that someone would find sense to rehabilitate and preserve its rich history as Kenya’s finest brewery. Nairobi will for years regret the wisdom of destroying this heritage and there was no better candidate than the preservation of Allsopps brewery. The untold story is that the original Allsopps brewery was started with a meagre capital of £7,500 (Ksh979,00) before it expanded rapidly. Graham, Allsopps brewery started huge investments in the region as demand for its flagship Allsopps Pilsner lager beer began to grow. And that is why my heart sank when an excavator arrived at Allsopps brewery to demolish it.
