From university idea to global phenomenon - the story of Britain's most awarded beer
Lord Karan Bilimoria founded Cobra Beer in 1989 when he realised that Britain deserved a superior, smoother, less gassy lager. Using the finest natural ingredients and a traditional Indian blend, he created an extraordinarily smooth beer quite unlike any other.
What started as a university business idea has grown into one of the world's most recognized beer brands, available in over 40 countries and served in some of the finest restaurants globally.
Cobra Beer's unique brewing process creates a beer that is less gassy and smoother than traditional lagers, making it the perfect accompaniment to food, particularly spicy cuisine.
