Malayali Beer: Polish Brand with Kerala Roots Launches in India
A beer brand called Malayali, which comes from Poland but has roots in Kerala, is now available at the Cochin Airport in India.
It has three kinds of beer, and also a non-alcoholic drink.
The people who started the company are from Kerala and the beer is made with a mix of European and Indian ideas.
