Khukuri Beer

Khukuri Beer is a Nepali lager brand with an alcohol content of 4.7%. It was created in 2003 as a joint project between the British firm J.W. Lees Brewery and Mahanta B. Shrestha, a Nepali restaurateur based in London. The collaboration was formed to distribute Nepali beer in the United Kingdom, catering to growing demand for Asian beer that pairs well with Oriental and South Asian cuisine. Since 2007, Mahanta B. Shrestha has been the exclusive owner of the brand. The beer is currently available in the United Kingdom, the United States, Finland, Japan, Luxembourg, and Portugal. The brand takes its name from the khukuri, the traditional curved knife associated with Nepal and its Gurkha soldiers, giving the product a distinct Nepali identity in international markets.
