August 6, 2021 (IANSlifeWith the world celebrating International Beer Day on August 6, and having one special day to celebrate the beverage that can make even the dullest of days brighter Avneet Singh, Founder, Medusa Beverages Pvt Ltd says, “Nothing spells bonding time with friends than a perfectly brewed, frosty mug of beer with your favourite snacks.”

Here’s a list of beers you should try this world beer day:

1. A1 India Pale Ale: The very own gateway brewing co. releases A1 IPA. India Pale Ale that came from England to India in the 1800s has now been recreated for contemporary times. This beer has the qualities of any A1 product, a classic moniker that has been used to denote top-class quality products. It started off with Lloyd’s shipping list as they used it to designate the most superior vessel in the sea. 

This A1 beer is available in a 1 litre Pet bottle and Gateway’s ‘Party Kegs’ holds 5 litres which can provide around 15 glasses of beer.

Priced at: Rs 590 per bottle. Available at shop.gatewaybrewery.com
