Egypt's beer shelves are getting a new addition this summer as Mexican lager SOL officially enters the market. First brewed near Mexico City in 1899, the golden lager is now available in Egypt for the first time, offering a crisp profile and easy-drinking appeal that stands out from the usual lineup. The beer's name—Spanish for 'the sun'—is tied to its origins in a brewery where sunlight once streamed through the roof. With a lower alcohol by volume and a light taste profile, SOL is positioned for casual, laid-back settings. With over a century of brewing history and a name that evokes warmth and brightness, SOL brings a refreshing hint of Mexico to Egyptian fridges.
