Vailima is a family of beers brewed in Samoa by Samoa Breweries [1] and is one of Samoa's most popular beers.

In July 2022 Samoa Breweries announced it would cease brewing Vailima in Samoa and move production to Fiji. [2] Following public opposition to the move it licensed production of the beer to a Samoan producer in August 2022. [3] [4]
