Rupee Beer Wins 2 Gold & 1 Silver Medal at USA Beer Ratings Competition

NEW YORK, N.Y.— Adding to its series of accolades and awards won the past three years, Rupee Beer, Named Best Beer For World Food is excited to announce that all three of its SKUs have won medals at this year's USA Beer Ratings competition in San Francisco, USA. 

Rupee's Mango Wheat Ale & India Pale Ale both won a Gold Medal, alongside its Basmati Rice Lager which one a Silver Medal. To receive this distinction, Rupee Beer needed to score highly in three different categories - Quality, Value, and Packaging. All beers were evaluated by a high-profile panel of judges, all of them with commercial buying experience, ensuring that all beers scoring highly in the competition are those with broad commercial appeal.

In contrast to other international beer competitions, which focus on evaluating just a single variable or factor, the USA Beer Ratings uses a three-factor scoring system that takes into account the overall quality of the beer, its relative value compared to other beers in terms of pricing, and the overall branding and presentation of the beer. 

The goal of the USA Beer Ratings competition is to award and celebrate beers that beer drinkers actually want to drink, which is central to the competition's mission of finding and awarding the very best beers in the world. 

On a mission to brew easy to drink beers which pair exceptionally well with Indian, spicy and world cuisine, Rupee's line of beers are brewed light, smooth and refreshing. 

Fifth generation entrepreneurs and sons of Indian restaurateurs in the business for half a century, Van & Sumit Sharma found themselves continually frustrated they could never find Indian beer in Maine – the least diverse state in America where their family immigrated to from the U.K. in the early 90’s. They decided to not only create their own beer, but set out to game change the food & beverage industry in a bold and diverse way.

Rupee Beer is available at national retailers such as Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, Total Wine, Wegmans, local liquor and craft beer stores, as well as top Indian and international restaurants, as well as direct to your door across 45 U.S. states online via their website.
