In Hyderabad, there’s been a big problem with not having enough beer for the past month or so. Some popular brands are missing, and the ones you can find aren’t even cold. It’s gotten so bad that there’s even a black market for beer, according to reports. But now, the government is trying to fix things.
Beer is usually in high demand during the summer in Telangana, but this year, the shortage has caused problems for both drinkers and the government’s finances. To help with this, the Telangana Government has given permission for Som Distilleries to sell beer in the state. They’ll be bringing in some new brands for people in Hyderabad and Telangana to enjoy.
Some people aren’t happy about this decision, though. Critics of the government are comparing it to a similar move made by YS Jagan in 2019. But it’s important to note that they’re not creating new brands, just bringing in ones that are already popular in other states and at fancy hotels.
These brands might not be the same as the ones available in Andhra Pradesh, like Boom Boom and President Medal, but they’re well-known elsewhere. It’ll be interesting to see how people react to this change.
