India's Pioneer Strong Lager
Haywards 5000 Super Strong Beer
Haywards4.7(1,200 reviews)
Haywards 5000 Super Strong Beer is the legendary, undisputed pioneer of India's high-gravity strong lager segment. Masterfully brewed with high-quality malted barley and select hops under the strict supervision of master brewers, this robust lager achieves a powerful 8.0% ABV while maintaining the smooth, balanced drinkability that makes it an absolute icon. Pouring a beautiful golden-amber color with a rich, frothy white head, it releases fresh toasted malt aromas on the nose. On the palate, it delivers a deeply satisfying, full-bodied grain sweetness with a clean, low-bitterness hop finish that masks its strength exceptionally well.

Origin: India
India
The subcontinent has evolved into a global powerhouse of premium spirits, blending ancient distillation heritage with state-of-the-art master craftsmanship. From high-altitude Himalayan spring waters to coastal barrels in Goa, India's intense tropical climate accelerates oak extraction and barrel aging dynamically. This creates bold, robustly complex, and deeply spiced spirits with rich profiles in a fraction of the time required in cooler European climates.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up Haywards 5000 Super Strong Beer. At ₹160 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Robust toasted barley malt and Warm estery grain sweetness pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”
