KATHMANDU, OCTOBER 20

Yak Brewing Co. has launched its new craft beer, 'Barahsinghe Belgian Style Witbier', just in time for the festivities of Dashain and Tihar.

This Belgian-style wheat beer is made from German malted wheat, malted barley, hops, yeast, coriander, and orange peel. It's a light and refreshing beer with fruity and spicy notes and low hop bitterness. The Barahsinghe Belgian Style Witbier features a pale and cloudy appearance due to the presence of unfiltered yeast in the beer, the company said in the statement.

'Spiced with coriander seeds and orange peel, the fruity and spicy notes enhance both the flavour and aroma, making it the ideal beer to enjoy on any occasion. The beer will be exclusively available in the selected stores in Kathmandu Valley, starting October 18, 2023.'
