Stoney (drink)

Stoney Ginger Beer, or Stoney Tangawizi as it is called in Swahili-speaking Africa, is a ginger beer soft-drink sold in several countries across the African continent.

The product, sold in a brown bottle or can, is made and distributed by The Coca-Cola Company.

In South Africa there are three different stoneys, extra kwetsa, regular and sugar free and javaman kwetsa.

Although they are all bottled by Coca-Cola, their recipes vary: the versions in Southern Africa tend to be more carbonated and sweeter, while the East Africa version tends to have a much stronger ginger taste.

Stoney Ginger Beer was introduced in South Africa in 1971.
