“We hope to increase the awareness of the Kampala Restaurant Week and adopt a fresh and exciting lifestyle targeting consumers who are always aware of what is happening around them and love a good meal,” Uganda Breweries Limited’s Head of Beers, Muzito Estella said at the Sheraton Hotel Kampala during a media launch for the 3rd edition of KRW yesterday (Tuesday 4 July).
“We believe that our partnership with the Pearl Guide Uganda for the 3rd edition is intertwined in the above aspects. There is no better way to enjoy a meal with friends without a Tusker Lite by your side,” she added.
