Beer has got to be the best damn drink in the world! You can have it on a Saturday night to get a happy high or on a Sunday afternoon at brunch. You can even have it post work on a weekday. It’s the perfect alcoholic drink that gives you the high you need minus the blackout or the hangover (provided you drink responsibly.) What’s not to love about a pint of chilled beer? Which is why, on the occasion of International Beer Day (yes, this perfect beverage needs to be celebrated) we decided to give you a low down on some of the best local Indian beer brands that you absolutely have to try!
1. Kingfisher
It is truly the king of good times. Kingfisher is the most loved and most widely available beer brand in our country. With a ton of variants to choose from like Kingfisher Strong, Kingfisher Premium, Kingfisher Ultra and Ultra Max and Kingfisher Storm, we don’t doubt that for a second!
2. King’s Beer
There was a time when people would especially go to Goa just for Goa’s King’s beer! But then we finally got the much-celebrated King’s beer in Delhi back in 2017 and that was the happiest day of our lives! A very light tasting beer, known for its smoky malt aroma, there’s absolutely nothing that can match up to this one.
3. Bira91
What’s better than a chilled pint of a Bira91 on a warm summer evening or a rainy evening or even a cold winter night? This premium Indian beer brand does some of the tastiest of beers. From Blonde and White to Strong and Light, they’ve got it all. If you’re one of those who haven’t tried even a single one, we only have one thing to say to you – SHAME!
4. Simba
No, we’re not talking about the Ranveer Singh movie. We’re talking about the finely crafted, authentic and flavourful craft beer which is a favourite among the youngsters these days! Available in 4 varieties – Wit, Stout, Strong and Light, Simba is a brand that caters to all kinds of beer lovers.
5. White Rhino
From grain to glass, White Rhino’s biggest strength is the freshness of their beers. So if you’re a fan of fresh-tasting beer in a chilled pint, White Rhino is your brand! They do locally produced brews that match the global standards, and this is what makes us a fan! They’ve got Wit which is a light and refreshing Belgian style wheat beer, lager a golden, crisp beer and the India Pale Ale.
6. Happy by Thirsty
A new kid on the block, not many know about this beer brand. Bottled in a big yellow/bottle can this beer spells happiness! If you’re someone who enjoys summery floral and citrusy notes, you have got to try this one! It’s easy, balanced and very refreshing taste will transport you to the seaside, reminding you of that perfect, fun-filled beach holiday with your squad! Doesn’t that make it the perfect companion for a post-work hangout?
7. Bro Code
Bro Code is a popular Indian beer brand which has found a way among the young beer-loving crowd in India! Be it the funky bottles or the fruity taste, Bro Code is among the top sellers in India and if you haven’t already, you’ve absolutely got to try it! Especially if you’re a champagne lover! It also happens to be stronger than a lot of the other beers available in India, so if you’re looking for a quick and easy buzz, you know what to call for!
