About Moksha Beer
Moksha Beer is an Indian craft beer brand with a San Jose listing. The company is based in San Francisco and sells across the greater Bay Area. Its small batch beers use ingredients sourced directly from small farms and spice markets in India.
The flagship is the Amber Lager, a Vienna lager at 5.5% ABV and 22 IBU. It has a caramel malt body, a floral aroma with hints of vanilla, and a light hop finish. The brewery says the recipe is an old family recipe from India, brewed since the days of the British Empire.
The Cardamom White Ale is a Belgian wit at 4.7% ABV and 19 IBU. It has citrus and cardamom notes and a crisp, tart finish. Seasonal and special batches arrive in limited releases through the year.
Moksha is a Sanskrit word for liberation. The brand began when a friend came home from months at NGOs in India and wanted better beer to go with Indian food.
