About Golden Pilsener
Golden Pilsener was launched in 1980 under the Castle name and reintroduced under its own in the 1990s, which makes it one of the few Zimbabwean beers to have swapped a global brand for a local one rather than the other way round. Delta aims it at men over 35 who want a light, distinctive lager, and it sits above the mainstream brands in the company's local portfolio.
