But, truth be told, making authentic Thandai is no kid’s play. Hence, we have got the perfect solution to keep the fun bar high at your Holi gathering. Pick any from this list as per your taste, we can assure you of a true ‘Happy’ Holi!
A strong brew
With summer almost kicking in, this Holi is likely to be the sweltering kinds, and what can be better than some chilled beer with friends over lip-smacking snacks? Therefore, our first suggest is Godfather Super 8, the strongest beer in the country with 8% abv, the highest permissible in India. It is a strong brew that has attained iconic status among beer lovers. The beer has notes of coriander and pale malt, and has German bitters along with choicest Indian malts. It is brewed over a long cycle that adds to the great taste. The resultant smooth and refreshing drink is a class apart beer that is loved by all.
A light and smooth beer
Well, if a strong beer is not what you prefer, we have got you covered too, with Kotsberg Premium Pils, a light and smooth beer with 4.5% abv. The beer is brewed with Barley, rice and German Hops. While the German Hops give this beer a unique taste, barley give it the color tone and malty sweet flavour, and rice lends it a crisp and refreshing taste. It won the gold medal at the prestigious Brussels Beer Challenge, 2022.
Finest single malt
Named after one of the pioneers of the Indian AlcoBev industry, Dewan Gian Chand who founded DeVANS way back in 1940s, this is perfect for those who shy away from the frothy brew. This Single Malt, crafted in Jammu, has already received rave reviews from the likes of whisky critic Jim Murray, who hailed it as the ‘finest single malt he has tasted from India’. He claims that it has the most refined taste. While the thin oils add delicate notes to it, the whisky has pineapple drop candy sweetness, hints of barley and a backbone of vanilla. This Holi, choose nothing but the best for your party or after party.
