Established in the 1820s, it is the oldest functioning producer of single malt whisky in all of Asia. It produces Lion Beer and Solan No. 1. The bar and brewery are both open to the public from 7AM to 7PM daily.
Kasauli Brewery and Distillery, in Kasauli in the Solan district of Himachal Pradesh, was established in 1855 by Edward Dyer. It started producing Asia's first beer brand, Lion Beer, and India's first single malt whisky, Solan No. 1. Both of these brands are still in production. The production of Lion beer was moved 25 km east to Solan Brewery at Solan, due to water scarcity, after the population of Kasauli increased around the brewery. Lion beer was originally an India Pale Ale (IPA), but the beer style was changed to lager in 1960s.

Situated about 1 km from the bus stand. Sunset point offers a magnificent view of the nearby hill regions. On a clear day, you may be able to view Chandigarh from up there.
A short walk up from Sunset point you will find a trail leading to another viewpoint Gilbert Hill. It's not very famous and very few travellers actually go there. But the view from Gilbert Point is breathtakingly beautiful and in fact better than Sunset Point. Gilbert Hill is an army area though and you need to return from there by 18:30.
