Beer wars took a new twist as Keroche Breweries Ltd moved to court seeking to dismiss a suit by East African Breweries Ltd (EABL) over alleged illegal diversion and use of its bottles.

In a replying affidavit filed at the High Court in Nairobi, Keroche says the allegations are not based on truth and are made on ill motive.
