Hayward's 5000
Launched in 1983, Hayward's 5000 lager is synonymous with strong beer in India. It's an authentic, premium Indian lager that hails as India's most preferred and popular beer. The bold character and lingering flavor of this Indian classic derives from a careful blend of select hops and malts in a brewing process that exemplifies timeless Indian traditions. Exclusively brewed and bottled in India under SABMiller supervision, this Crown Jewel of Indian beers is now enjoyed worldwide!

We are proud to announce that in November 2006, Haywards 5000 was awarded a Gold Medal at the World Beer Championships. Rated an "Exceptional" beer, with a total of 91 points, judges commented that it was a ‘deep, old gold color with an amber cast … very freshing’. |
Serving Suggestions:
To really appreciate Hayward's 5000, just chill and serve. A little too strong for you? Try an old Indian trick... keep it at room temperature, and serve over ice to take it down a notch. Enjoy!
