Coming soon: Bw. Chazea is a five-time distilled brand based on the original traditional Kenyan brew

A Kenyan micro brewer plans to spread its reach to Botswana, initially establishing a distribution line to the country and then setting up a plant for its wine brand and a gin product that has origins similar to traditional brews such as khadi, BusinessWeek has learnt.
