Indian Craft Spirits For Every Kind Of Friend
India’s First Cross-Malt Beer, Brewed for Perfection
Woodpecker Beer has carved a unique niche in India’s premium beer segment. Crafted with imported two-row barley, Indian malts, and hops sourced from the Rainier region of Germany, it proudly holds the title of India’s first cross-malt beer.
Each batch of Woodpecker Beer undergoes a 30-day brewing process, with only one batch brewed per month. This ensures unmatched consistency, rich aroma, and a matured, full-bodied flavour that sets it apart. The result is India’s most consistent and richly flavoured premium beer, made for those who appreciate craft and character in every sip.

Twist, Sip, and Celebrate: A Bottle Design That Delights
Innovation isn’t limited to the brew, Woodpecker Beer’s packaging itself is redefining convenience. Its twist cap design eliminates the need for a bottle opener, offering a hassle-free and stylish drinking experience.
With vibrant yellow caps for Glide and sleek black caps for Crest, each bottle stands out with the bold “Twist to Open” instruction. A customised neck profile ensures security and prevents counterfeiting, adding another layer of sophistication to the brand.
In a move towards sustainability, Woodpecker Beer also uses direct print-on-bottle technology, replacing traditional paper labels. This not only enhances its modern look but also reinforces the brand’s eco-conscious approach.
