Marketing Director, Walter Drenth, while speaking about the drink said, ‘ACE ”ROOTS” symbolizes a call to action for everyone; customers and consumers to go back to their roots of true African herbs, fruits and spice extracts with Low Sugar. It’s a great innovation, one that we at Nigerian Breweries are very proud of, and we are confident our young and vibrant consumers will appreciate this game changing brand’.
ACE Roots has been created for health conscious Nigerians who want to embrace their rich cultural heritage and celebrate life, success and companionship with an uncontrolled cheerful and colourful African spirit. Blending good health and high spirits with the unmistakable strong taste of 14 African herbs and spices with 6% alcohol for a strong kick; ACE Roots will take its consumers back to their roots and deliver a thrilling experience without breaking the bank.
Sales Director, Hubert Eze also commented about the new product. In his words, “ACE Roots is the result of a painstaking customer research which Nigerian Breweries carried out. We have discovered that in addition to being young, ambitious and enterprising, today’s Nigerian consumer is also African. They do not just live in Africa, Africa lives in them as well and they want some Africa in their food, fashion, music and drink’’
He continued, “We decided to create a product which combines all that this consumer wants and ACE Roots is the result. We have also faithfully adhered to original African recipes in the choice of fruits, herbs extracts and spices used for the drink. These are actual extracts and not flavourings which makes us confident that our customers and consumers will love the freshness of the product. ACE Roots has an authentic African soul like those who drink it.”
With several ADVAN awards and a successful merger with Consolidated Breweries in 2014, Nigerian Breweries has demonstrated its place as Nigeria’s industry leader and continue to premier consumer choice with novel innovations.
