BRAND: -

HISTORY:-

The beginnings of what is today The UB Group are rooted in the flagship company, United

Breweries Limited, (UBL) also referred to as the Beer Division. Led by Mr. Kalyan Ganguly, President &

Managing Director, it has a 40% market share in the country. It all began with 5 breweries in South India.

The oldest of which, Castle Breweries, dated back to 1857. United Breweries, as these breweries were

named in 1915 has come a very long way. United Breweries Limited, the flagship company of the UBGroup, has an association with the brewing dating back over five decades, starting with 5 breweries in

South India in 1915. The Division today boasts an impressive spread of 11 own and 15 contract

manufacturing facilities throughout the Country.

The company was bought by late Mr. Vittal Mallya in 1947, and since then has never looked back.

Today each one of the 32,000 Beer outlets in India sells one brand or the other from United Breweries. The

UB Group has solid Scottish genes, founded as it was (expectedly) by a Scottish gentleman- Thomas

Leishman (1915).
