Rajasthan: High gravity brewing could solve summer beer supply shortages
India | Indian states not only set prices for alcohol – they also determine brewing methods. The prohibition of High Gravity Brewing (HGB) has previously led to serious supply shortages during the summer months. Now the Rajasthan government, in its fiscal 2025/2026 cycle (April 2025 to March 2026), has permitted HGB, media reported on 12 March. However, this may be too late for the peak beer drinking season between May and July.
