About Maltina
Maltina is a non-alcoholic malt drink that Nigerian Breweries introduced in 1976, in a category that matters more in Nigeria than in almost any beer market outside West Africa. The company added two variants in 2020, Maltina Pineapple and Maltina Vanilla, widening a drink sold as a family soft drink rather than as a substitute for beer.
