Kingfisher

- FOUNDER: THOMAS LEISHMAN

Whilst the brewery behind the brand, United Breweries Group, was founded in 1915 by a Scotsman, Kingfisher is known as the Indian beer, with more than 50 percent market share in the country. The United Breweries company began practising its brewing methods in South India, and the company manufactur­ed bulk beer for the British troops before independen­ce. Kingfisher beer was introduced in the 1960s, and has steadily grown into the flagship brand it is today, enjoying worldwide distributi­on as the top Indian beer in the internatio­nal market.
