Kingfisher

INDIA’s NO.1 PREMIUM BEER

MUCH LIKE THE MAJESTIC BIRD IT’S NAMED AFTER, KINGFISHER MIRRORS INDIA’S FLAVOURFUL HERITAGE AND LIVELY SPIRIT.

From the sun-drenched beaches of Goa to the bustling bars of Mumbai, Kingfisher Beer celebrates India in all its splendour. The origins of this beer can be traced back to 1857 when five Indian breweries joined forces. They developed a premium lager like the flavour-filled European pilsner but added their own twist to make it lighter and more refreshing for drinkers in the humid Asian climate. Still brewed in the same way today, it’s crafted from the finest Saaz hops to create a refreshingly balanced, pilsner-style lager.

A bit of history

Kingfisher’s roots trace all the way back to 1857 when five of India’s most prominent breweries joined forces. United Breweries, as the company became known, wanted to develop a flavourful pilsner, inspired by the classic European style, but lighter on the palate to refresh its consumers in the humid subcontinent.

Setting its wings in the UK market more than three decades ago, Kingfisher continues its legacy – brewed on British soil using the same revered recipe that earned it the status of a national treasure in India. The iconic brew is crafted with the renowned Saaz hops, which forms the heart of its perfectly balanced pilsner-style lager.

Hailing from the Czech Republic, Saaz stands as a paragon among hops, prized for its delicate nature and low alpha acid content. Its ethereal floral aroma, subtle spice, herbal tones and mild bitterness play a pivotal role in creating nuanced and distinguished brews – particularly in crafting iconic lagers like pilsners.

The meticulous brewing process, encompassing a staggering 200 different checks, stands as a testament to Kingfisher’s unwavering commitment to excellence. This dedication has rightfully earned Kingfisher numerous global awards, solidifying its place among the elite in the world of brewing.
