The Kingfisher Story:
Established in Mysore, Bangalore in 1857. Kingfisher has risen from a soldier's tipple to a nation's pride and joy.
Kingfisher is India's No.1 beer and is one of the country's most heralded exports. Now brewed in Britain, this triumphant tipple can trace its roots all the way back to 1857 when Castle Breweries first started brewing in the majestic city of Mysore.
The sight of bullock carts carrying huge barrels of beer was a common sight. These carts wheeled their way to customers throughout the region as the refreshing brew became a favourite of all who tasted it. In time, Castle Breweries joined forces with four competitors to form the company now proudly known as United Breweries.
Since then, United Breweries has endeavoured to sell their most famous beer from Kerala in the south to Delhi in the north. And everywhere in between. As it has grown, the beer has become synonymous with the exciting side of Indian life. It is a sponsor of the Bangalore Royal Challengers, the Force India Formula 1 team and countless music festivals.
