Kati Patang, a trailblazer in India’s craft beer revolution, has achieved international recognition at the New York International Beer Competition (NYIBC) by winning a Gold Medal for its Saffron Lager and securing the prestigious title of "India Brewery of the Year."

The NYIBC is the only global beer competition judged exclusively by trade buyers, including cicerones, sommeliers, bar owners, distributors, and importers. This blind-tasting process ensures that only the finest beers receive accolades, making Kati Patang’s victory a significant milestone in India’s growing craft beer industry.

“Winning at NYIBC validates our mission to redefine craft beer in India,” said Lata Upadhyay, co-founder of Kati Patang. “This accolade reflects not just our hard work but also our passion for creativity and freedom in brewing.”
