From Kingfisher To People’s Lager: 6 Local Beer Brands That Goans Swear By
King’s Beer
Chatting about brews in Goa without giving a nod to the legendary Kings beer that is straight out of here? Impossible. It's the OG choice for anyone hitting up those sunny Goan shores. This beer's got that crisp factor and a smoky malt aroma that's seriously something else. And the best part? It won't break the bank–just 60 INR for a pint. Pair it with some wicked Goan snacks, and you're in for a taste bud rollercoaster!
Goa Brewing Co
You can't miss Goa Brewing Co's awesome brews, seriously! They've got Eight Finger Eddie IPA, a super cool and unique choice. And there's Pineapple, Saint & Sinner, Breakfast Cereal, Wheat Ale, and People's Lager made with Japanese Rice. Plus, their bottle designs match the taste of the beer–totally collectible, dude! So, grab a taste of these amazing brews, and you can even score a rad souvenir bottle or recycle it.
Susegado
Coming from a beer enthusiast, Aditya Challa, for as long as he can remember Goa's always been his go-to spot. After travelling continents and setting up Singapore’s first ever microbrewery, he packed that up and brought it to Goa. Their goal at Susegado Microbrewery is simple: to bottle up Goa's enchantment in every sip of their beer. So, join this Susegad journey and taste some Vanila Porter, Kokum Gose, English Ale, Tropical Wit, American IPA, or Dortmund Lager!
Maka Di
You know those cute beer bottles with astronauts and spaceships stocked up everywhere? They're from Maka Di, which means 'gimme' in Kokani. These Goa peeps are pure beer wizards. They've got a Belgian Tripel, Honey Ale, Belgian Blanche, Bavarian Keller, Shandy, and a Rosé Brut IPA that's like a flavour explosion. Which one are you going to be sipping?
Kingfisher Premium
Having a conversation with a Goan about savouring a delicious fish thali? We can bet they'll suggest pairing it with none other than Kingfisher Premium beer. This brew, in its iconic green bottle, is brewed using top-notch barley malt and a blend of fantastic hops, delivering a refreshing and flavourful kick. And let's not forget, it's got a chill 5% ABV to keep those good times rolling! It's the ultimate Goan combo for a great time.
Seven Rivers India
When you're up in North Goa, make sure you swing by the coolest new microbrewery in town. It's a perfect spot for a sunny day after you've explored Aguada. They've got this awesome beer garden feel going on, pouring their regular and fancy brews. Choose the Poi lager–it's like sipping on the local bread's flavour! For the classics, they've got stuff like Belgian Wit bier, Bohemian Pilsner, Tropical Indian Pale Ale, Kokum Gose, POI—Liquid Bread Lager, and Hefeweizen. And for the dare devils, they've got Coconut Stout, Scotch Ale, Summer Lager, Cucumber Lager, and All Day Kolsch.
