The Intro:

There is a new craft beer in town and in true Mumbai style making everyone say -“ekdum kadak”.  A new love affair on Friday evenings or chilling nights has begun with this “desi” beer. Kadak is India’s answer to putting craft and flavor back into our glasses.

“क ” se “Kadak”: The Name

Ishan Grover, a Delhi-based brewmaster, the co-founders of the brand explains:-

“We wanted a logo that represents the beautiful chaos that India is and its colourful diversity. At the same time, the word “Kadak” is usually uttered with a lot of swag and is used popularly by desi youngsters across the country, which is where the attitude part comes from. And I think our logo has done a wonderful job of reflecting all of that. While we had many suggestions for names from both friends and agencies, the name “Kadak” stuck on with me. Yes, I take full credit for coming up with the name myself.”

In other words, once you have a taste of Kadak, your mind cannot turn back.

Kadak Beer Styles:

• The Kadak Hefeweizen, an iconic German-style wheat beer. It’s a unique blend of banana, clove, with the mildest hints of bubble gum and notes of freshly-baked bread. 

• The Kadak Kölsch is a crisp, clean beer whose lively citrus fragrant hops and malt aromas will tickle your nose while leaving a smooth, fruity and biscuity flavour in your mouth.

• The Kadak Session Pale Ale delivers aromas and fresh flavors of citrus, pine, tropical fruits and biscuity malt, and toasted grains.

• Finch Cloud Black – Nitro Stout is a full-bodied black nitrogen-infused dark beer which is brewed from Magnum hops. The beverage boasts a dense silky texture, and addictive roasted-coffee and dark chocolate flavours. 

• Finch Wizard of Wit – Belgian Wit is a refreshing crispy beer that offers a gratifying malty-sweet grain flavour and an aroma of orange peels to the drinker.

• Finch Pip ‘n’ Peel – Apple Cider is brewed from Himalayan apples. This wild yeast-fermented apple juice packs the sweetest and mildest flavors, bringing a boozy apple treat, straight from the foothills of the Himalayas, to your palate.

We are not afraid to brew beer we LOVE, brew something different, brew what a Kadak future tastes like”,
