If you’ve ever been in to Kasa, you would know that we are one of the few restaurants that offer cold Kingfisher beer on tap. It may as well be India’s national beer by the amount it is consumed there. It’s a light, clean tasting, refreshing Indian lager that (surprise!) goes so well with Indian food. Customers love it and their eyes light up as they order one. I can literally see them begin to relax before they’ve even taken a sip.
I myself am somewhat obsessed by Kingfisher because they do a couple of things REALLY well:
- Despite serious competition from foreign brands, they dominate in beer sales in India.
- As though that weren’t enough, they operate Kingfisher Airlines. Only in India can you get away with flying a plane (a really cool one at that!) with the very same name as the alcohol you bottle. They have the highest market share among Indian airlines and have been given a five star rating by Skytrax. (Only five other airlines have this award, including Cathay Pacific and Singapore Air.)
- And then, last of all, they have the very very cool Kingfisher Calendar. I may not be politically correct here in enjoying this calendar but they get the absolute hottest gorgeous Indian female models, take them to beautiful exotic locations, put them in swimsuits and using their best photographers create a stunning calendar!
Getting hold of a hard copy of this calendar is very difficult here in the U.S. For now, all I have for you is the link, but Cousin Kiwi is working on getting hard copies for me from India. I’m not entirely sure why I REALLY want one. Maybe it’s because a few of my male cousins, friends and lesbian friends would love me forever if I gifted them one, or maybe I could start a side business of selling Kingfisher calendars to other obsessed persons.. Either way, if he gets me some, we’ll have some fun contests and give them out as prizes at Kasa.
Take care and enjoy!
