Kasauli Brewery Tourism

Kasauli Brewery in Kasauli, Himachal Pradesh, India, holds the distinction of being one of the oldest operational distilleries for Scotch whisky in Asia. Established in the 1820s by Edward Dyer, it was set up in the backdrop of the Himalayas, taking advantage of the spring water that flows in this region—which is a fundamental ingredient for manufacturing whisky. The brewery was created to cater to the British stationed in India who longed for the Scotch whiskies of their homeland. Amidst the scenic town of Kasauli, the distillery is nestled amidst woods and boasts of an old-world charm. Visitors can learn about the traditional methods that are still being used for producing whisky and also get a chance to taste it. The air in Kasauli is tinged with the aroma of malted barley, as the brewery continues to crack malt in the traditional way. The heritage and the quaint setting of the brewery make it a beloved landmark of the region.
