Golden Eagle Beer: Fauji's Choice

What's good for the Jawans is good for you 

My Dad is ex-Air Force, and a non-drinker. But he loves to entertain and maintain a rather elaborate collection of liquor. He got this for me from the Western Air Command canteen in Subroto Park. And it was fucking brilliant!

The food accompaniments to this were roadside "Chainees" food aka Hakka Noodles and Chicken Manchurian. The taste is rather heavy and hopp-ish in the beginning. It eases on your palate as you move down the bottle.

The label on the bottle says "For Indian Troops Only", so that adds to your experience. The brewers are the master craftsmen at Mohan Meakin in Ghaziabad who brought to you a drink that has developed a cult following over the decades, Old Monk.

Master-class beer, strong on the way down, heavy high for medium duration. A bit difficult to have without food. You can see how it is perfect for the Jawan in every imaginable way.

Make sure you pour it in a glass, the beer has a rather beautiful head and is a visual delight. Call your fauji friends for a try. Jai Hind!
