Pakistan’s Murree Brewery gains export license, restarting beer sales to Japan, Britain, and Portugal after nearly 50 years.
Pakistan’s Murree Brewery, founded in 1860, has received a long-awaited export license, ending nearly 50 years of bans on beer exports in the Muslim-majority nation.
The Rawalpindi-based brewery, run by third-generation family member Isphanyar Bhandara, is restarting international sales with initial shipments to Japan, Britain, and Portugal.
Though alcohol is banned for Muslims, the brewery earns over half its $100 million annual revenue from sales to non-Muslims and foreigners, with a significant underground market fueled by bootleggers.
The export approval marks a major milestone amid ongoing religious and political challenges, signaling a shift in policy and economic ambition.
