Uganda’s leading beer manufacturer Nile Breweries will not let her clientele lack the satisfaction of their favorite beer because they are locked up in the COVID-19 quarantine and so have launched an e-commerce website that will make it easier for you to order and purchase beer brands from the nearby stockist by using the home delivery option to deliver great customer satisfaction beyond the Lockdown.
The 69 year old brewery’s platform will enable clients above 18 years of age make orders online and have their drinks delivered to their comfort before 1PM. You can now get Castle Lite, Eagle, Club Pilsner, Nile Special Stout, and Nile Special when you order on www.beernow.ug
How “Beer Now” works
One has to punch in www.beernow.ug in their browser so as to access the “Beer Now” platform and be able to place their order(s) for their brand of choice.
Keeping in mind that “Alcohol is not for consumption for persons under the age of 18”, NBL wants to make sure you are legal and are over eighteen to be consuming; the website therefore requests a user to fill in their date of birth to check for legality.
Having passed through this stage, you are officially in and can now place your order; but first, you are to fill out your location details in terms of district, town and suburb; and are only available for people who reside in the areas of Kampala and Wakiso Districts for the meantime.
You are then requested to choose your beer you wish to have; either Nile Special Stout, Club Pilsner, Nile Special, or Castle Lite; whichever tickles your thirst buds. You are then taken to the “Shop” section of the platform where you are shown the price of each, and are at liberty to choose whether you wish to order a crate, just a couple of bottles as the minimum has to be 6. You are then free to “check out” (finalize with your order) and that’s about it. Billing options are then availed to you; whether you wish to pay via Mobile Money or pay cash on delivery (C.O.D).
Delivery happens within 60 minutes of placing an order or even less; depending on your location. Orders and deliveries however are to stop by 1Pm; in line with the government’s guidelines on movement.
Note: Once delivery is made, you are to give back an equivalent of the number of beers bottles you will have ordered in the form of “empties”. For example, if I ordered 8 Castle Lite(s), once delivery is made to my doorstep, I have to give the delivery person 8 empty bottles to replace those I will have taken. In case you do not have empty bottles on you, it’ll cost you an extra cost of Ugx. 600/= per bottle as compensation for each.
www.beernow.ug is a stress free, fast, efficient, and affordable beer delivery service.
