The Places In India Where You Must Bottom Up With Brewed Beer

The craze for Beer in Indians is not hidden from anyone. People here are crazy for beer more than any other drink, and that is why beer remains in hell lot of demand. But, we are not talking the normal beer. Today we are going to tell you about the best pubs in India, which serves the best brewed beer. These pubs are must visit once a while, whether you are a drinker or not. The pubs are also famous for their high class crowd. Let's have a look at few of them.

# Doolally, Pune and Mumbai

It was the first and remains one of the most consistent microbreweries in India. Doolally’s success has been built around their experienced German head brewer, Oliver Schauf. The one complaint people have about Doolally is that it is a trek to their brewpub, situated on the outskirts of Pune. Now, they are opening an outlet in Bandra, in Mumbai, to which they will transport beers from Pune in kegs and serve them on tap.

# Windmills Craftworks, Bangalore

Windmills Craftworks has struck the right balance between being a brewpub and a live-entertainment venue. At some brewpubs in India, the focus is on the decor, music and ambience and the microbrewery is just a gimmick, while, at others, the live entertainment seems like a desperate attempt to attract more patrons. At Windmills, it feels natural to be sipping on a wheat beer while listening to a great pianist in the brewpub’s jazz theatre. Among the interesting seasonal beers they have made are a dunkelweizen (dark German wheat beer), an American amber ale and a Bohemian pale ale.

# Toit, Bangalore

When we first went to Toit, three years ago, we had a long list of complaints. The stout lacked body and the ale wasn’t bitter enough. Over time, though, Toit has improved its beers, and its ambience and sheer size — the brewpub is spread over three large floors — making it the place to go to in Bangalore. The TintinToit, a Belgian-style fruity ale, is their standout beer. They have also experimented quite a bit, making everything from a pumpkin ale to a Vienna-style lager. We particularly liked the Indian pale ale they had on tap earlier this year.

# 7 Degrees Brauhaus, Gurgaon

Every other pub in Gurgaon says it has a microbrewery, but most leave you longing for a bottled lager. 7 Degrees Brauhaus is one of the few exceptions. Its owner, Sanjay Mathur, has tied up with German brewing company Caspary GmbH to try to make his establishment as close to a Bavarian brewpub as possible. Even the wood for the furniture is imported from Germany. 7 Degrees follows the Bavarian Purity Law of 1519, which demands they use only the finest quality malts, hops, yeast and water, and it shows in their beers.

# Arbor Brewing Company, Bangalore

Founded by Matt and Rene Gruff in 1995, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Arbor Brewing Company has produced more than 50 different beers in the USA. When they announced an Indian brewpub, expectations were high, and they have not disappointed. Among the most interesting beers they have made are a smoked porter, a golden abbey-style ale, a West Coast IPA and an American wheat ale with kiwi fruit and hops from New Zealand.
