About Beaufort Light
Beaufort Light was introduced in 2005 as a lighter companion to Beaufort Lager, which by then was past fifty and, in the company's own telling, needed a lift at a moment when the words in the air were organic, light and feeling. It is brewed by the same Boissons du Cameroun brewers and sold alongside the original rather than in place of it.

About the owner: Boissons du Cameroun
Boissons du Cameroun is a privately held company headquartered in Douala, Cameroon, founded in 1948. Brandtree records 10 brands under its control.
Boissons du Cameroun, formally the Société Anonyme des Brasseries du Cameroun, was founded in Douala on 3 February 1948 by Les Brasseries et Glacières d'Indochine, the company that became BGI and was itself bought by the Castel group in 1990. It brewed the first beer made in Cameroon, Bull Beer, and describes itself today as the leader of the country's brewing industry and the state's second largest taxpayer after the oil sector. The SABC group it heads runs five factories making beer, soft drinks, energy drinks and alcohol mixes, the Socaver glassworks and SEMC, which bottles mineral water. It signed a Coca-Cola bottling contract in the 1960s, producing Coca-Cola from 1963, Sprite from 1971 and Fanta from 1972; no Coca-Cola brand appears among the drinks it lists today, and its cola is World Cola, which it says is sold in fourteen sub-Saharan African countries.
