cosanostra Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Cobra isn't even Indian. Why do Indian restaurants sell it so frequently then? Just wondering. Any way, cold cobra is pretty damn fine. Same with Kingfisher and Lal Toofan or whatever it's called. Curry and lager go together like a dream.

Jaap's Sigh Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 660ml bottles in tesco for ?1 each. Cracking deal that is all. No way!! Just back from Tesco with 16 330ml bottles at 8 for 6 quid. Saw the 660ml at 3 for a fiver and thought the better deal was on the wee ones. The 660s aren't advertised at 1 for ?1! Gutted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therapist Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 Pritty sure it was originally brewed in India by a British born Indian. Incorrect. It was brewed in Britain by a British born Indian. The marketing spin was making people believe it was produced in India. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wiki'd it to be sure. "Cobra Beer is a British beer company founded in 1989 by Karan Bilimoria. The company is based in Fulham, south west London. Originally brewed in Bangalore, India (now Bengaluru), for export to the United Kingdom, the company now has contract brewing operations in the UK, Belgium and India." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_Beer Also, he was Indian born. Not British. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn't seem to be the intention. They just marketed it as the best beer to drink with curry. I'm sure if you are trying to brand your drink to a specific market, coupling it with the country of the foods origin makes sence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
