Kasauli Brewery

Kasauli Brewery is a stone structure in the Himalayas that produces malt whiskey using traditional distillation methods. The facility relies on copper pot stills as the core of its production process.

Edward Abraham Dyer founded the facility in the 1820s and brought equipment from Scotland and England. This made it the first brewery and distillery established anywhere in Asia.

The brewery follows Scottish whiskey-making traditions that took root in India generations ago. You can observe how these inherited techniques remain central to the daily work of the distillery.

The facility sits near the main bus station, making it easy to access on foot. You can watch the production process unfold, though it is best to check ahead about viewing times.

The site produces Solan No. 1, a Himalayan whiskey that held India's top position in the spirits market during the 1980s. This local whiskey was a remarkable part of India's drinking culture for decades.
