Ravishankar told reporters in Mysuru that the batches 7C and 7E of Kingfisher Ultra Lager Beer and Kingfisher Strong manufactured on July 15 at United Breweries’ plant in Nanjangud had been seized by Excise officials across the State after receiving a communication from the Excise Superintendent on July 28 about the presence of “sediments” in the beer.
