Cobra Beer

Cobra Beer

Cobra Beer's main product is an extra-smooth premium beer with an alcohol strength of 5% volume. The beer was founded in 1989 by Karan Bilimoria, who thought that Britain needed a smoother, less gassy lager, which would appeal to both ale drinkers and lager drinkers alike. A blend of barley, rice, maize and hops was used to produce the required characteristics.

In June 2011 Molson Coors bought a controlling interest in Cobra.

The beer was originally brewed in Bangalore, India, for export to the United Kingdom; the company now has contract brewing operations in the UK, Belgium and India.
