Goa
This Week, TheGlitz: Lizard King Brewing Co.: Where Beer, Music & Rebellion Take Center Stage
Goa’s boldest new brewpub roars to life with craft brews, rock ’n’ roll vibes, and a spirit that refuses to play safe
Goa just found its new anthem — and it’s brewed, not bottled. Lizard King Brewing Co. launched on 26th October 2025, is where beer meets rebellion and rock ’n’ roll fuels every pour. Founded by brewmaster and frontman George Jacob, whose inspiration struck on a wild forest ride and a fateful glance from a monitor lizard, this is no beach shack — it’s a revolution in hops and harmony.
With beers that command the stage — from oaked Apple Cider and Mango Cider to dark Irish Stout and wild Saison — and food that shreds alongside, like stout-battered fish & chips and chicken fried steak, Lizard King is where Goa’s free spirit finds its frothy rhythm. Designed like a living, breathing music room, every tank gleams like an instrument, every pint hits like a guitar solo, and every guest becomes part of the band. Loud, unapologetic, and alive — Lizard King Brewing Co. isn’t just a brewpub; it’s Goa’s newest headliner.
