Great State Aleworks is a Pune-based craft brewery focused on modern and experimental ales using local ingredients. Its craft beers are supplied to over 50 bars and restaurants across Pune, Mumbai, and Goa, as well as recent exports to Taiwan.
Great State has been notable as one of the first Indian craft breweries to use local millets for brewing through its Millet Beer Project. With the International Year of Millets 2023, the brewery recognised the potential to create greater positive impact by actively promoting the cultivation and consumption of millets through the fun medium of beer.
Since April 2023 I have been working with Great State Aleworks as a consultant leading the Millet Beer Project. In this role I connect the grassroots realities of millet farming with food and beverage industry trends, to effectively integrate millets into the company’s beer portfolio and brand goals, through research, sourcing, storytelling and strategic partnerships.
Between 2023 and 2024 we have successfully released India's first 100% millet-based gluten free craft beers.
