Delta began in 1946 as a company named "Rhodesian Breweries Limited". Its origins go back even further, to 1898, the year of the founding of the country's first beer brewery on Cameron Street in the city of Salisbury, which today is Harare.
Operations
Delta's brand names include:
Cultural sponsorship
Production sites
Delta has two lager breweries, one in Southerton in Harare and Belmont in Bulawayo.
There are 14 Sorghum breweries across Zimbabwe to produce Chibuku which has a short shelf-life and consequently needs to be produced closer to the market. Additional investments were of USD 12 million made at the Chibuku brewery in Chitungwiza, to increase annual production to 1,8 million hectoliters.
A maltings plant was built in Kwe-kwe to produce barley malt from locally grown barley. A smaller sorghum maltings plant in Harare was taken over from the municipality to produce sorghum malt for the Chibuku brand.
