"While there will be no beer sales within the venues, the responsible use of alcohol is an important message that the Games can assist with sending throughout the sporting community.

"We also welcome the opportunity for the exclusive use of SolBrew beer at all Sol2023 Pacific Games VIP and corporate functions, both in the lead up to and during the Games." 

Solomon Breweries has been operating in the country since 1993 and is an important contributor to the economy, with 90 per cent of its employees coming from Solomon Islands.

"Despite our challenges, the Pacific Games are essentially an opportunity to celebrate other parts and aspects of Solomon Islands that we have not been able to look at in the last three years and that is our sportsmen and women and the next generation of Sports," said Solomon Breweries' corporate affairs manager Qila Tuhanuku.

Honiara is due to stage the Pacific Games between November 19 and December 2 in 2023, following a four-month delay blamed on COVID-19.
