Lizard King Brewing Co, Goa
Reset, Recharge, and Raise a Pint at Lizard King Brewing Co. This New Year’s Day
Goa: After the noise, the late night, and the last song of New Year’s Eve, 1st January 2026 deserves a slower, better kind of comeback. Lizard King Brewing Co., Goa sets the stage for that reset—offering freshly brewed beers, honest food, and a raw rock ’n’ roll atmosphere that feels comforting without losing its edge.
Start clean with the Pilsner, crisp, electric, and refreshingly precise. Brewed with Saaz hops and German malt, it cuts through the haze like a classic headliner anthem, delivering clarity and balance in every sip. Ease into the afternoon with the Best Bitter, a deep amber brew layered with smooth malt riffs and balanced hops, paying tribute to British pub roots while turning the volume all the way up. For those ready to linger, the Irish Stout brings the encore—dark, roasty, velvet-smooth, and intensely satisfying, yet effortlessly creamy.
Founded in 2025 by brewmaster George Jacob, Lizard King Brewing Co. is more than a microbrewery. It’s a community-led stage built on fearless beer, food designed to riff alongside every pour, and a spirit rooted in rock ’n’ roll. Every pint hits hard, every table feels front row, and on New Year’s Day, there’s no better place in Goa to come back strong.
