Goa Brewing Co raises fresh funds in top-up round
Summary
Investors include K. Ganesh, a serial entrepreneur and promoter of BigBasket; Samrath Bedi, executive director of beauty brand Forest Essentials; and members of Ekcle Ventures, an angel network. Its craft-brewery in Sangolda, Goa, housed in an Indo-Portuguese bungalow, is different from beers brewed in large commercial industrial complexes which use synthetic ingredients. "We have stuck to brewing clean label beers made with only whole natural grains, hops and fruits sourced largely from local farms. This brand love from our consumer-evangelists has allowed us to focus on the product and push our boundaries of brewing while gradually building a community based on shared values," said Suraj Shenai, its founder. With his passion, Shenai has brought a refreshing freshness, artisanal quality and built a brand in a highly competitive Goa market that stands out.
