Caribbean-headquartered Carib Brewery has launched its Carib Premium Strong Beer in India, marking a key milestone in the brand’s international expansion. Carib’s entry into India is in partnership with Globus Spirits Ltd., a leading player in India’s alcoholic beverage industry. The beer is being locally produced through Globus Ansa Private Ltd., a joint venture between Globus Spirits and Carib’s parent company, Ansa McAL.

“At Globus Spirits, we’ve always believed in crafting experiences that transcend borders—and Carib Premium Strong Beer is a perfect reflection of that,” said Shekhar Swarup, Joint Managing Director, Globus Spirits. “This launch is more than introducing a new beer; it’s about celebrating the spirit of two vibrant cultures brought together by cricket, bold flavours, and good times.”

Targeted initially at five key cities in Uttar Pradesh—Lucknow, Kanpur, Varanasi, Ayodhya, and Prayagraj—Carib Premium Strong Beer is crafted to appeal to Indian preferences. With 8% alcohol by volume, a medium body, and a crisp, floral finish, the beer is designed to pair well with India’s spicy and flavour-rich cuisine.

The India launch is part of a broader international strategy led by Adrian Sabga, Managing Director (International & Business Development) at Carib Brewery, who has identified India and Greece as focus markets by the end of 2025. This push is supported by a $200 million investment in a modernised production facility in Champs Fleurs.
