~As consumer choice grows, craft beer booms.~

Geist Brewing Co., South India’s leading craft beer company, today announced the availability of its  draught beer in Puducherry. The Bengaluru based distribution craft brewery has 3 F&B outlets across the  city and offers a range of craft beers that are being supplied on tap and in cans across Bangalore,  Hyderabad and now Puducherry.  

Geist Brewing Co currently supplies their four variants, Geist Witty Wit, Geist Uncle Dunkel, Geist  Kamacitra and Geist James Blond in 500ml crowlers (cans) in Puducherry. These variants, along with the  addition of the Geist Weiss Guy and Geist Repeat, are now available on tap at select partner pubs, hotels  and restaurants in the region. 

Appended are the details about the 6 variants – 

  • Geist Witty Wit: In keeping with Belgian Witbier traditions, this wheat beer is brewed with orange  zest and coriander. Incredibly refreshing with a notable wheat flavour and tartness, it pours hazy  whitish-yellow with a creamy head.

Style: Belgian- style Witbier | ABV: 5% | IBU: 10

  • Geist Uncle Dunkel: Hazy, amber-brown with low hop bitterness, the German-style dark wheat  beer has a tasty flavour profile packed with bready malt, nuttiness, caramel and mild chocolate  along with banana and clove creating the aroma. 

           Style: Dark Wheat Beer | ABV: 5.4% | IBU: 14 

  • Geist Kamacitra: this American-Style India Pale Ale is deep orange in colour, with a pleasant hoppy  bitterness. Smooth and flavourful, this IPA features citrus and tropical fruit hop characteristics.

          Style: American-style IPA | ABV: 6% | IBU: 43 

  • Geist James Blond: A high-alcohol Belgian-style beer, fruity sweet with mild spicy notes, balanced  by a noble hop bitterness. 

          Style: Belgian style Strong Blonde Ale| ABV: 7.7% | IBU: 26 

  • Geist Wiess Guy: Intense yellow and cloudy with low bitterness and lively carbonation, the  Bavarian-style Weissbier has distinctive aroma and flavours of bread, a touch of banana and some  clove to add a pleasant spiciness. 

          Style: South German Style Wheat Beer | ABV: 5.2% | IBU: 12 

  • Geist Repeat: A top-fermented premium lager with a touch of maltiness, soft bitterness and a  refreshingly light palate. 

           Style: Top Fermented Premium Larger | ABV: 4.5% | IBU: 16 

Speaking on the expansion, Narayan Manepally, Founder of Geist Brewing Co, said, “It is the dream of  every brewery to get their beers into the hands of as many appreciating customers as possible. Beer drinking culture is constantly evolving in the country, and our expansion to Puducherry, first in crowlers  and now in kegs, is only proof of the growing appreciation for great craft beer but also for fresh craft beer  on tap. By keeping the focus on quality and experimentation, breweries like ours have been able to offer a 

diverse range of beer styles catering to different palates, from a variety of options including wheat beers,  stouts, porters, IPAs (India Pale Ales) and more.  

Over the years, the Indian beer industry has witnessed a shift in consumer choice, with craft beer growing  at a rapid rate of 70-80 percent year-on-year. The Indian beer industry is a $4.5 billion market opportunity  and craft beer is around 1% of that. As it continues to win the hearts and minds of appreciating customers,  craft beer is expected to outpace the growth of the overall beer market in the years ahead. Geist Brewing  Co.’s expansion to Puducherry is proof of the growing consumer choice for quality craft beer.

    Lallemand Brewing has just launched a true bottom-fermenting yeast strain that produces a clean, unique lager profile with high attenuation and high flocculation. LalBrew NovaLager™ is a Saccharomyces pastorianus hybrid (non-GMO), selected to produce clean lager-style beers with the optimal fermentation performance of ale yeast. It is a robust lager yeast strain with ideal brewing properties, including fast fermentations, high attenuation, and high flocculation. The distinct flavor profile is very clean, slight esters over a wide temperature range.

    LalBrew NovaLager™ is the result of the research and development work of Renaissance Bioscience Corp. (Vancouver BC, Canada) in partnership with Lallemand Brewing.  It was selected using classical and non-GMO breeding methods to obtain a novel Saccharomyces cerevisiae x Saccharomyces eubayanus hybrid strain that defines a novel Group III (Renaissance) lager lineage, different from any other traditional Saccharomyces pastorianus strains. This strain is a low VDK/diacetyl producer and utilizes patented technology from the University of California Davis (USA) to ensure no hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is produced, therefore reducing the maturation time associated with lager beer production. Through expression of a β-glucosidase enzyme, LalBrew NovaLager™ can promote hop biotransformation and accentuate hop flavor and aroma. All these above characteristics make LalBrew Novalager™, a new and unique tool specially adapted to craft brewing conditions.

    Lallemand Lager
    LalBrew NovaLager™

    Brewing Properties & Sensory

    The optimal temperature range for LalBrew NovaLager™ yeast when producing traditional styles is 10 – 20°C (50 – 68°F). This yeast from Lallemand Brewing can be used to brew styles such as a Pale Lager, Cold IPA or even a Baltic Porter. You can get the recipes here. It is fairly clean, mostly neutral with slight ester notes (red apple and fruits), low diacetyl and no H2S.

    Sensory Analysis

    LalBrew NovaLager™ is a pure culture of Saccharomyces pastorianus available in 500g packs, with 11g sachets coming soon, with a recommended pitch rate of 50-100g per hL of wort.

    About Renaissance Yeast:

    Renaissance Yeast is a beverage yeast technology company that is a world leader in the selective breeding of high-performing yeast and is dedicated to developing yeast that address and solve the beverage industry’s most important challenges.

    About Lallemand Brewing:

    Lallemand Brewing is a business unit of Lallemand Inc., a privately held Canadian company specializing in the research, development, production, marketing and distribution of yeast and bacteria. Lallemand Inc. has over 4000 employees located in more than 45 countries on 5 continents.

    Excise Minister K Gopalaiah said on Thursday that the State Government hasn’t yet proposed raising excise duties on liquor.

    In a press conference following the pre-budget meeting with Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai, he spoke of the CM’s promise to give the department a much-needed facelift after taking into account the state’s financial situation. Among other things, Bommai pledged to address issues related to harassment in the department, new salaries, and complaints pertaining to the issuing of licences under the CL7 and CL9 categories, according to him.

    In addition, the CM has instructed the concerned commissioner to take stringent action against the spurious liquor racket and opponents from the outside, also adding that officials involved will be suspended.

    “I will have another discussion with the CM and the finance secretary tomorrow. The CM has also been made aware of certain demands of the department and has pledged to respond positively either in the budget or later,” Gopalaiah said.

    It would also be considered to increase the commissions for the sellers. Despite the pandemic, the department has collected a record revenue of Rs 23,247 crore and is on track to exceed the target set in the budget,” he said.
