We have been grown up to believe that, the best-tasting rice in the world comes from the fields of Goa. Which is why through a recently launched initiative- ‘Against the Grain’, a plan to revive Goa’s indigenous heirloom rice heritage through sustainable and community driven initiatives is underway. The project not only works with rice farmers in the villages of Goa, but directly to involve chefs, home-makers, bartenders and brewers to cultivate an impact in the culinary heritage space, so consumers know exactly where the grains come from and how it gets to their plate.

This July Goa Brewing Co. will be a two year old, and in these 24 months we have seen some of the highest of high’s and the lowest of lows. While in February we were brewing up to capacity & were in the “flow” of shipping freshest beers with almost instant consumption the following months have made us revisit every aspect of our brewing bu...

After hunting for ingredients in local Goan markets we b...

Beer bottles add to landfills, sometimes they end up on the beaches sometimes in the fields. There is no time to be status coexist when it comes to our environment any- more, a lot of damage has already been done.     We have decided to take things in our hands, at least for the things we can control. From the time we started I can proudly s...

We are regularly asked when we are going to drop our 2020 Pineapple Saison. Until last summer when we bottled our first batch of Pineapple Saison, the idea to brew a refreshing yet complex beer with locally sourced fruit had been in my head for over a year. It was also an opportunity to test if we could do a full farm to bottle the product rig...

In early 90’s Breakfast Cereal was the thing for 80’s born Indian kids like me. We made our parents buy boxes of cereal after watching their TV ads. India had just been liberalized and we wanted to graduate from Indian breakfasts like upma, paratha and dosa (which we are back to eating again) & be like those kids in the shows. We missed th...

Trappist breweries brew a big bold beer around Christmas that mimics the flavours of rich plum cake, (they are also big on tradition and we are not) but here in Goa our hero Christmas dessert is Bebinka a zillion layered cake sweetened with palm jaggary, & couldn’t stop asking the what if question that’s become Saint & Sinner.      ...
