5 Indian beer brands that cost under Rs 200

Beer in India is not just an alcoholic drink, but an art and experience that date back as far as 1500 BC, when fermented barley and rice-based concoctions were fused with local fruits and spices and resulted in smooth and easy concoctions that were loved by people. Later, in 1830, Edward Abraham Dyer, established India's first brewery named Kasauli in Himachal Pradesh, which produced the beer brand Lion and it opened a gateway to beer producers and rest as they say is history. From classic stouts and lagers to craft beers with apple cider and coffee, today, the market is flooded with numerous options, which are tasteful and affordable too.
