Brewed with natural ingredients, Cobra Beer is known for its traditional Indian blend of barley malt, maize and three varieties of hops, wheat, and rice.

Cobra Beer’s unique recipe and low carbonation gives the range its distinctive character and smoothness that makes it the perfect accompaniment to cuisines from around the world.

The Indian beer is now served alongside several Asian and Mediterranean eateries and in around a quarter of the 28,000 licensed restaurants across the UK.

“Our newly launched Blond IPA, Malabar 20L keg, has received one of the industry’s highest endorsements in less than a year after its release. The full credit must go to our fantastic team of brewers who are committed to ensuring that Cobra Beer maintains its highest levels of gold medal-winning quality to satisfy our consumers.”
