Rupee Beer Brings Back Award-Winning Mango Wheat Ale for Summer

PORTLAND, Maine — Summer is officially here, and Rupee Beer, named "Best Beer to Pair With World Food," is excited to announce the return of its popular Mango Wheat Ale in select markets across the United States.

Crafted with the insight of a global brewing legend and creator of the iconic Pumpkinhead—one of the most successful seasonal beers ever released—the Rupee team is thrilled to bring back its tropical summer favorite, a brew that has earned accolades at several prestigious beer competitions.

Inspired by India's deep connection to the mango, the beer pays tribute to the country's national fruit, long considered a symbol of prosperity, abundance, and good fortune. India is not only home to thousands of years of mango cultivation but also remains the world's largest producer and consumer of the beloved fruit.

Using the "King of Fruits" as inspiration, Rupee Beer set out to create an easy-drinking summer ale that is light, smooth, and refreshing, featuring subtle tropical aromas and a delicate burst of natural mango flavor.

The story of the mango dates back more than 4,000 years to the Indian subcontinent, where over 1,000 varieties are grown today. One of the most famous varieties, the Chaunsa mango, carries a particularly meaningful historical connection to the Rupee brand. According to legend, the mango was named by the revolutionary ruler Sher Shah Suri, who introduced the global currency that would later inspire Rupee Beer's flagship lager.

Following his victory over Mughal Emperor Humayun at the Battle of Chausa in 1539, Sher Shah Suri is said to have commemorated the occasion by naming his favorite mango variety the Chaunsa, a story that perfectly embodies the spirit of celebration and cultural heritage that inspires the Rupee Beer brand today.

Rupee Beer continues to expand its footprint across the United States and is available at national retailers, local liquor and craft beer stores, and some of the country's top international restaurants.

This summer, Rupee's Mango Wheat Ale invites consumers to experience a taste of India's most beloved fruit—crafted into a refreshing beer designed for long days, warm nights, and unforgettable meals shared with friends and family.
