There is an unspoken romance between tropical regions and a good old mug of brew to accompany you on your escapades. With South Asia being home to some of the most exotic travel destinations on the continent, it is only natural that a brewing culture developed around it. Imbibing the best of the local flavours, and taste blended in with a distinct understanding of patrons’ demands and preferences, South Asia in recent years has developed an eclectic range of homegrown brews that are both unique and starkly relevant to its region and culture.
Here are our picks for homegrown South-Asian brews that you must try on your next vacation.
I. Barahsinghe, Nepal
Quite truly a recent yet exciting addition to Nepal’s homegrown alcohols, Barasinghe is a brew that brings together the essence of Nepal’s heritage and is deeply rooted in sustainable brewing practices. Its parent company, ‘Yak Brewery’ takes pride in creating a product that is not only connected to Nepal’s natural, local ingredients but is also conscious and mindful of how its production impacts the environment.
II. Lion Lager, Sri Lanka
This range of beers has been in production since the late 1800s, making it one of the oldest and best-tasting trademark brews that the island nation has to offer. Legend has it that a British explorer who was on an expedition in Sri Lanka back in the 1800s stumbled upon a stunning location offering the best spring water in the country and decided to build a brewery which still stands tall today.
III. Goa Brewing Company, India
Despite its relatively recent launch into the market, Goa Brewing Company has managed to climb the ladder of India’s best brews in a very short span of time. The brand which prides itself on imbibing the local culture and flavours of India, particularly Goa, has a range of small-batch brews that are distinct right from their taste to their packaging.
