Godfather Super 8 / Godfather Legendary
Godfather is one of the first few home-grown strong beers introduced by DeVANS Modern Breweries Ltd more than three decades ago, and continues to be widely popular even today. Its latest variant Godfather Super 8 is currently the strongest beer in India with 8% ABV. With an iconic stature and multiple awards to its name, it features notes of coriander and pale malt, crafted using premium Indian malts and German bitters. The extended brewing cycle ensures a smooth yet impactful finish. Godfather Legendary, with 7.2% ABV, offers a slightly milder but equally satisfying experience.

Conan Strong Lager
Conan enters the scene as a premium strong lager that balances intensity with smoothness. Brewed using German malt and American hops, it carries an 8% ABV while maintaining a clean, refined taste. The malt adds depth and body, while the hops bring a balanced bitterness without overwhelming the palate—making it a strong beer that remains surprisingly easy to drink.
Perfect for: Those who enjoy strong beers without harshness.
Bira 91 Blonde Lager
A popular choice among younger consumers, this lager is light, crisp, and slightly hoppy with a clean finish. Its easy-drinking profile makes it ideal for those exploring beyond conventional options without going too experimental.

Simba Stout
Breaking the summer stereotype, Simba Stout offers a rich, roasted flavour profile with notes of coffee and dark chocolate. While darker beers aren’t typical summer picks, this one is for those who enjoy bold, indulgent flavours regardless of the season.
