Speciality beers have arrived in India!

Finally the real beers have arrived in India!. Currently one distributor in Delhi seems to import the famous Belgium & German Beers and distribute it to beer enthusiasts across the country (if ordered).

I recently came across their advertisement in "Sommelier India", India's only wine magazine (which I always buy). In that advertisment were shown photos of the most exquisite Belgian trappist beers (Beers brewed by Monks for centuries involving wild yeast fermentation)

They have launched a website http://www.craftbeer.in/ but it's incomplete
It shows photos of "Schneider Weisse" (German Wheat beer). But there is nothing more apart from the photos on the website. They have also provided a contact number.

I need to check with my regular beer shop if they can order these beers from this distributor.

But this is the beginning of something very special! I have waited for such a long time for this to happen.

The wine scene in India and especially Maharashtra is fantastic (because of the Nashik winery revolution) but when it comes to beer most people don't even know anything beyond standard lager and neither do beer shops.

But this announcement is just the beginning of the beer revolution.

Ofcourse I am probably one of the very few who regularly buys the Indian wine magazine and must be one of the very few in the country to even have spotted the advertisment. But its a 'spark', fire will follow!
