Finally, craft beer has come to Nepal!
Craft beer has come to Nepal!

Local Craft Beer
As of this post, we only know of one Nepali craft brewery. Sherpa Brewery opened in 2014. They currently only make one style of beer, a German kolsch, but it is a nice change from the usual light lagers. They do not have a tasting room, but it is easily found in many locations.
American Craft Beer
We now find limited varieties of American craft beer, including an American style IPA, a Saison, and don’t miss your own encounter with a Yeti (American style stout). Here are the locations so far where you find these tasty beers.

If you are a connoisseur of Belgian beers, the selection is small, but you can definitely find Belgian beers in Nepal. Chimay, Duvel, Hogaarden, Liefmans, and Westmalle Trippel are available. Get your Belgian beer fix at the top of the world at these locations!

Guinness
No pub can be truly Irish without Guinness, and the Irish pubs in Nepal have responded. We’ve found a couple locations in Kathmandu that carry Guinness Daught in a can. Though not as traditional as the 10 minute pour, it still carries the taste of Ireland. Find Guinness at the following locations.
Everest Irish Pub, Z Street, Kathmandu 44600, Nepal
Irish Pub, Ananda Bhawan, Lazimpat Rd, 44600, Nepal
