Kasauli Brewery Travel Map

Kasauli Brewery is the world's highest distillery, located in the outskirts of Kasauli town. The distillery and brewery were established in 1820's by Edward Dyer. This location was chosen due to the fine spring water and climatic conditions, similar to Scotland. Brewing and distilling equipment of England and Scotland that included copper pot stills, which were used then, are utilised even today.With the aim of processing Malt Whiskey as fine as Scotch Whiskey, Dyer began distilling India Pale Ale and Malt Whiskey from this brewery. Due to the shortage of spring water, the brewery was dismantled and shifted to Solan. However, the distillery at Kasauli is still there and is the oldest operating distillery in the entire Asian continent.Headed by Edward Dyer, the company was incorporated as Dyer Breweries Limited that was later merged with Meakin Breweries Limited, and became Dyer Meakin Breweries Ltd.
