White Rhino is an Indian brewery located in Malanpur, on the outskirts of Gwalior, India. It is the first craft beer to be brewed and bottled in India.[2] Ishaan Puri is the founder of White Rhino Brewing Co.

History

White Rhino Brewing Co. was founded by Ishaan Puri in 2016 in Malanpur, near a tributary of the Chambal River, which supplies the brewery with brew-quality water.[3][2] The brewery began with two beers, a Lager and a Belgian Style Wit.[2]

In 2018, White Rhino partnered with a West Yorkshire-based British beer distribution firm, James Clay, to export its lager and India pale ale to the United Kingdom.[4]
