Red Rhino, a key player in India’s craft beer scene, has announced the opening of its new commercial brewery in Malur. This expansion marks a major step in the brand’s journey, allowing it to scale kegging operations and distribute its premium brews across Bangalore’s top restaurants and pubs. The facility will begin with the distribution of Red Rhino’s most popular offerings, including its Signature Lager and Hefeweizen, alongside fresh seasonal varieties. Highlighting the brand’s commitment to quality, the new brewery is equipped with cutting-edge cold chain and logistics infrastructure to ensure each pint maintains its optimal temperature and flavor from brewing to tap.

"Our new facility is built to set industry benchmarks," said Ashwin Nawani, Head of Business Strategy at Red Rhino. "With advanced logistics and a focus on precision brewing, we’re ensuring that craft beer lovers in Bangalore experience the freshest, highest-quality brews." Master Brewer Dan Satterthwaite emphasized the brand’s focus on innovation, stating, "Our infrastructure rivals international brewing facilities. We’ve integrated advanced fermentation technologies to preserve each beer’s unique flavor profile while maintaining efficiency at scale."

India’s craft beer market has seen an annual growth of 22% since 2022, with premium craft beer experiencing an even higher 27% CAGR. Market projections indicate continued expansion, highlighting evolving consumer preferences and the rising demand for high-quality brews. At the core of Red Rhino’s expansion is BEVERA, an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system designed to automate the entire brewing ecosystem—from order processing to final delivery. This integration enhances efficiency, reduces time between brewing and consumption, and ensures customers enjoy Red Rhino’s freshest craft beer.

With a current presence in Bangalore and Hyderabad, Red Rhino is gearing up for nationwide expansion, with plans to introduce its craft beer portfolio in major urban centers across India. Beyond business growth, the new brewery will also create employment opportunities in brewing, logistics, and sales, further strengthening the local craft beer ecosystem. Founder Kishore Pallamreddy, a global tech entrepreneur, expressed his vision for the brand’s future: "This facility isn’t just about expanding production—it’s about shaping India’s craft beer culture through innovation, consistency, and strategic market engagement." Red Rhino’s commitment to sustainable brewing practices and innovation continues to set new industry standards, making high-quality craft beer more accessible to a broader audience.
