Cobra Beer is a beer brand manufactured in the United Kingdom. The group's primary product is a premium beer with an alcohol strength of 4.5% by volume (originally 4.8%). The beer was founded in 1989 by Karan Bilimoria[1] and Arjun Reddy.[1] A blend of water, malted barley, yeast, rice, maize wheat and three varieties of hops is used to produce the required characteristics.[1]The bottled version in the UK also contains sugar in its ingredients list.

In June 2011, Molson Coors bought a controlling interest in Cobra.[2]

As of 2014, Cobra Beer is primarily produced in Burton upon Trent,[3] Rodenbach in Belgium and Patna in the Indian state of Bihar.[4]
