Red Rhino has announced the launch of its bottled craft beer range in Bengaluru, marking its official retail debut. Founded in 2016 by Kishore Pallamreddy and Rachana Pallamreddy, the brewery has built a strong presence across 100+ on-tap locations and now brings its signature brews to store shelves, expanding accessibility while maintaining its craft ethos.

The bottled portfolio features three variants available exclusively in 330 ml bottles: Golden Harvest Lager, Soul Surfer Hefeweizen and Bangalore Daze IPA. Brewed at the brand’s commercial facility in Malur on the outskirts of Bengaluru, the operation includes a five-vessel brewhouse, dedicated kegging lines, fermentation tanks and automated quality systems to ensure scale without compromising consistency. The Golden Harvest Lager (ABV 4.8% | IBU 17) is brewed with premium basmati rice for a smooth, crisp finish. Soul Surfer Hefeweizen (ABV 4.9% | IBU 15) delivers classic banana and clove notes with a creamy mouthfeel, while Bangalore Daze IPA (ABV 6.8% | IBU 68) offers bold West Coast character with ripe mangosteen and bitter orange notes.

Commenting on the launch, COO Ashwin Nawani said, "When moving from draft to bottle, our goal was not to change the soul of the beer, but to make it more stable without compromising flavour. We fine-tuned our recipes to account for shelf life, optimised fermentation and packaging to reduce oxygen pickup, and avoided shortcuts such as heavy filtration or preservatives. The beer in the bottle reflects the same craft intent as what you'd experience on tap."

Founder Kishore Pallamreddy added, "This bottled range is a milestone in our evolution. We've always believed that great craft beer should be accessible, and now, we're bringing our most-loved recipes directly to the doorsteps of Bengaluru's beer lovers. It's the same Red Rhino spirit, just in a new, convenient avatar."

Currently available at select premium outlets such as Balcony Bar, Drops, Beer Box, Wild Bar, Dewars, Top Shelf and Liquids, the brand aims to expand to over 50 retail locations by March 2026, reflecting the continued premiumisation of India’s beer market.
