The award adds to previous international recognition. This includes a Gold Medal for its Saffron Lager and the ‘India Brewery of the Year’ at the coveted NYIBC in February 2025.
Kati Patang Lifestyle's Saffron Lager received a Bronze Medal at the London Beer Competition 2026. The award specifically highlights the beer’s technical quality, along with its distinct flavor, commercial appeal, and the creative use of Himalayan saffron.
