Club Beer shortage hits Kumasi this Christmas festive season

Club Beer shortage hits Kumasi this Christmas festive season
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

The Christmas festivities in the Ashanti Regional capital Kumasi took a surprising turn this year as a widespread shortage of club beer left revelers scrambling to quench their thirst during the season’s celebrations for the past 4days.

Bars and pubs across the city reported an unprecedented surge in demand for the popular beverage, with empty shelves and frustrated patrons becoming a common sight. According to local vendors, the shortage was particularly severe in areas known for their vibrant nightlife, including Bantama, Adum, and Asafo, Ash Town among other communities.

An Unexpected Festive Trend
While festive seasons are traditionally marked by an increase in alcohol consumption, this year’s demand for club beer appeared to be unusually high.

Some observers linked the surge to the mood of residents, particularly supporters of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), who form a significant portion of Kumasi’s population.

The December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections saw the NPP suffer significant setbacks, with the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) making notable gains in traditionally strongholds of the ruling party.

For many NPP supporters, the celebrations may have doubled as an opportunity to drown their post-election sorrows.

“We’ve Never Seen This Before”

Bar sellers described the situation as unprecedented. “We restocked several times in anticipation of the usual Christmas rush, but we were caught off guard this year,” said Kwame Mensah, a bartender in Asafo.

“People were ordering crates at a time, and by Christmas Eve, there was nothing left to sell.”

Others joked that Kumasi residents were attempting to “drink away” the election results.

“It seems some people are celebrating the holidays, while others are trying to forget the pain,” quipped Akosua Adjei, a pub owner at Bantama.

Brewery Struggles to Keep Up
Club beer, one of Ghana’s most iconic alcoholic beverages, is brewed by the Accra Brewery Limited.

Attempts to reach the company for comment on the shortage were unsuccessful, but local distributors revealed that supply chain challenges and the unexpected spike in demand contributed to the scarcity.

“We received only half of our usual allocation this December,” explained one distributor in Kumasi. “The trucks couldn’t keep up with the orders coming from both wholesalers and retailers.”

Social Media Reacts
The shortage sparked a wave of reactions on social media, with many lamenting the situation and others finding humor in it.

Memes circulated widely, with one post declaring, “No club beer, no party!” Others speculated about the link between the election results and the high consumption, jokingly dubbing it the “Election Defeat Recovery Program.”

A Lesson for the Future
As the festive season comes to an end, the shortage of club beer in Kumasi has left businesses and revelers alike with lessons for the future.

Vendors have pledged to better anticipate demand, while patrons are being urged to consume responsibly.

For now, however, the shortage has given Kumasi residents an unforgettable story to recount – one where politics, celebrations, and a beloved beverage collided during the holidays.

Below is Kumasi street President Elizato report.
