India’s first airport microbrewery opens at Goa airport

Susegado, the first airport microbrewery in India, has opened at Goa's Manohar International Airport. The name is derived from the Goan word ‘Susegad’ which means relaxation. Susegado has been created through a partnership between local brewery Rising Tide Beverages, restaurant company Lane Nine Hospitality and Radiance, a wholly owned subsidiary of India Retails & Hospitality Private Ltd (IRHPL).

Spanning over 5,000 square feet, Susegado’s ambience is inspired by a fusion of vintage Goan home decor and the sophisticated feel of a jazz bar. The distinctive design aims to make tourists and local visitors feel at home while enjoying a freshly brewed, authentic Goan beer.

Central to the brewhouse’s offerings are its freshly brewed beers, each crafted with distinctive regional ingredients. Its signature brews include Poder’s Pilsner, a crisp beer brewed with upcycled Goan bread; Kokum Gose, a tangy creation infused with kokum extract in a German-style beer; and an English Ale designed to cater both seasoned beer lovers and adventurous beginners. The specialty brews are complemented by a menu of traditional Goan dishes.
