With the world celebrating International Beer Day on August 6, and having one special day to celebrate the beverage that can make even the dullest of days brighter Avneet Singh, Founder, Medusa Beverages Pvt Ltd, says, “Nothing spells bonding time with friends than a perfectly brewed, frosty mug of beer with your favourite snacks.”

“International Beer Day is quintessential, the perfect occasion to enjoy a big mug of beer, guilt-free. I’m glad to be involved in creating a mass favourite beverage that’s the life of all parties, friends’ reunions, etc,” says Avneet.

Here’s a list of beers you should try this world beer day:

1. A1 India Pale Ale: The very own gateway brewing co. releases A1 IPA. India Pale Ale that came from England to India in the 1800s has now been recreated for contemporary times.

It started off with Lloyd’s shipping list as they used it to designate the most superior vessel in the sea.

This A1 beer is available in a 1 litre Pet bottle and Gateway’s ‘Party Kegs’ holds 5 litres which can provide around 15 glasses of beer.
