flag Pakistan’s Murree Brewery, founded in 1860, began exporting beer in 2025 after decades of domestic restrictions.

flag Pakistan’s oldest brewery, Murree Brewery, founded in 1860, has secured approval to export beer for the first time in decades, marking a major shift in the country’s alcohol policy. flag Despite Pakistan’s Muslim majority and long-standing bans on alcohol, the brewery has operated under special permits for non-Muslims and foreigners. flag After years of lobbying by the Bhandara family, including CEO Isphanyar Bhandara, exports began in 2025 to the UK, Portugal, and Japan, with plans to expand to the U.S. and other markets. flag The move, though modest in scale, represents a rare example of a traditional enterprise adapting to global trade under strict domestic constraints.
