Honiara tonight (31 Saturday) witnessed the launching of the newest beer to its shores described as truly Pacific and Melanesia.

Pacific Beer is five years old and is produced in Papua New Guinea and founded by former PNG Prime Minister and one of the partners in the King Solomon Hotel Peter O’Neil.

At the launch, O’Neil described the Pacific Beer as owned by Pacific islanders and Melanesians.

He thanked the Solomon Islands Government for giving them the opportunity to do business in the country under the Melanesian Spearhead Group (MSG).

O’Neil pointed out that in the Pacific there are no breweries that is owned by Pacific citizens.

“This is the only brewery that is owned by Pacific islanders and Melanesians,” he said.

He told the gathering that the brewery is only five years old after it was started in 2020 in the middle of the covid.

However, he said they have managed to survive to this far.

O’Neil highlighted that the SINPF owns 55% of the King Solomon Hotel meaning that the people of Solomon Islands and the contributors to the fund are the exclusive importers of the beer.

King Solomon Hotel is the sole importer of Pacific Beer into the country and Sullivans buys from King Solomon Hotel before selling to the public.
