Abstract
The purpose of this research study was to investigate the attitudes of the general
public towards opaque beer and which areas should be addressed to ensure
safety and increased sales for the beer. The area of study was Mathira Division
of Nyeri District. A hundred respondents participated in the study.
In carrying out the study, primary data was col'lected through personally
administered questionnaires. They had both structured and unstructured
questions. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics like percentages,
frequencies, cross tabulations and tables. The Likert scale, the logit modeland
the statistical package for social scientists (SPSS) was utilized.
The study observed that, the general public had a negative attitude towards
opaque beer. This is mainly due to the effects it has had on society like some
consumers losing their lives after continued consumption of these brews.
However there was a general feeling among the respondents both consumers
and non-consumers that opaque beer should not be banned. This is because, it
has offered a cheap alternative to clear beers for the ordinary 'mwananchi' who
has been hit by the hard economic times.
It is in view of the above that the consumers suggested several measures which
should be initiated by the brewers to make the beers more safe and acceptable to
its consumers. This is in the face of the rising consumers awareness towards
getting quality products.
