Kingfisher Drinks, the world alcoholic beverage company, has announced the launch of Kingfisher Ultra, a super-premium world beer with an ABV of five per cent, which is now available for convenience retailers to stock.
Kingfisher Ultra was launched in India fifteen years ago and is now one of India’s fastest-growing beer brands with a compound annual growth rate of 20 per cent between 2021-2023. Crafted with only the finest hand-picked malts, resulting in a strong but balanced profile, Ultra is brewed with a six-step filtration process and no additives, giving the liquid a beautiful natural golden hue. The distinct and stylish clear glass bottle and unique pull-crown lid cement the premium look and feel.
Consumers are generally drinking less but better these days, so Ultra responds to that need perfectly. In India, the brand has built its reputation on tapping into premium associations, such as sponsoring premium festivals like the Sunburn festival in Goa, as well as fashion shows and other top end events which typically attract more affluent consumers who appreciate the finer things in life and are willing to spend more.
“We are delighted to introduce Kingfisher Ultra to the UK market," said Andy Sunnucks, Senior Brand Manager. "Those who have been lucky enough to try it in India will know that it is the gold standard! In fact, since launching in its home market back in 2009, Kingfisher Ultra has taken India by storm, becoming a bedrock of premium occasions, so we’re excited to confirm that it’s now the UK’s turn! Imported directly from India, Ultra really hits the spot with its light crisp taste and smooth finish and is the perfect addition to our growing Kingfisher portfolio. A year ago, we introduced Kingfisher Zero into the no and low category, so along with the original Kingfisher Premium, Kingfisher Ultra will complete our offer which now suits a wide range of consumer tastes.”
