Summer is the perfect season to explore new and refreshing beers. With a vast array of options available, there’s something to suit every palate. From crisp lagers and hoppy IPAs to fruity ales and light wheat beers, these brews are ideal for warm weather enjoyment. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, hosting a barbecue, or simply unwinding after a long day, here are some must-try beers that will enhance your summer experience.

  1. Bira 91Bira 91 White throws a twist on the classic wheat beer. Inspired by Belgians’ Witbiers, it boasts a cloudy, unfiltered look. Unlike some heftier beers, Bira 91 White offers a refreshingly light body. Flavour-wise, expect a citrusy punch balanced by coriander spice and a touch of sweetness. With its low bitterness, it caters to those seeking a crisp, easy-drinking summer beverage.
  2. STOKSTOK is a smooth beer boasting a shiny golden colour that maintains a balance between tanginess and sweetness. The brand is available in 3 variants, strong, lager and wheat, with each variant representing a different personality: strong, laid back and poised respectively. The brand aims to bring together people of different personalities to create a “chilled community” of beer lovers.
  3. 4 Grain Saison AleA must-try beer at IBC in summer is the ‘4 Grain Saison Ale’, also known as ‘Syndicate Saison’ by Independence Brewing Company. Originating from Wallonia, this craft beer blends four grains—barley, wheat, rye, and oats—resulting in a unique, fruity, and spicy brew. Our Craft Bar and Brasserie offers complementary dishes like loaded nachos, avocado bruschetta, peri peri chicken tikka, and our bestseller, the tenderloin burger. Each dish enhances the ale’s refreshing, crisp flavours, promising an exceptional tasting experience for craft beer enthusiasts. This ale happens to be the only craft brewed with 4 malts in India
  4. Carlsberg ElephantUnveiling a bold option for summer nights, Carlsberg Elephant struts in with a full-bodied character. Forget fleeting refreshment; this Danish import offers a rich, malty taste with hints of caramel, balanced by a satisfying bitterness. Unlike lighter summer lagers, Elephant boasts a 7.2% ABV, packing a stronger punch for those seeking a more substantial brew. This isn’t your average poolside beer; it’s a statement sipper for those who appreciate a complex flavour profile.
