History & Background

Simba Beer, founded in 2016 in Chhattisgarh and best known among craft beer drinkers for its well-regarded Stout, also produces a Strong variant to compete in India's enormous high-ABV beer segment. This gives the brand presence across both the craft-curious drinker who seeks out the Stout and the much larger market of strong beer drinkers who prioritise ABV. The Strong has helped Simba build broader distribution and brand recognition beyond its craft beer roots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Simba Strong made by the same company as Simba Stout?

Yes, both are part of the Simba Beer portfolio from Chhattisgarh, founded in 2016. Simba Stout built the brand's craft beer reputation, while Simba Strong extends that same brewing approach into India's much larger strong beer category.

Simba Strong price in India

Simba Strong is priced competitively within the strong beer segment, generally positioned similarly to other quality-focused strong beers rather than the cheapest value options in the category.

What is the alcohol content of Simba Strong?

Simba Strong is approximately 7.5% ABV, placing it firmly within India's strong beer category.

Simba Strong vs Kingfisher Strong — which is better?

Simba Strong benefits from the brand's broader craft beer reputation and tends to have a slightly more rounded malt character than typical mass-market strong beers. Kingfisher Strong has far wider national availability. For drinkers who enjoyed Simba Stout and want a stronger option from the same brand, Simba Strong is a natural choice.

Where is Simba Strong available?

Simba Strong is available through the same distribution network as Simba's other products, which has expanded significantly since the brand's 2016 founding to cover most major Indian cities.

Is Simba a craft beer brand or a mass-market brand?

Simba occupies an interesting middle ground, having built its reputation through craft-style products like the Stout while also competing in mass-market categories like strong beer, giving it a broader portfolio than purely craft-focused competitors.

What food pairs with Simba Strong?

Its fuller malt character pairs well with rich Indian food, similar to how Simba Stout pairs with heavier dishes, though Strong is a lighter-colored beer than the dark Stout.
