March 22, 2022 by madur

In search of some of the best breweries in Bangalore? You have come to the right page. Read on to know more about the must-visit Bangalore breweries.

If an Indian city were to be linked to beer, it would be Bengaluru. The city is known for its pub culture and draught beer that made an appearance as early as 1985. That was the year Bengaluru got its first brewery; ‘United Breweries’. Since then, over 300 pubs have opened in the city.

So, it isn’t surprising to note that even a pandemic couldn’t dim Bengaluru’s pub vibe. Here are some of the most popular new joints in the city.

List Of The Best Breweries In Bangalore

Here is a list of some of the best Bangalore breweries.

1. The Merak Brewhouse at JW Marriott

The Merak Brewhouse is one of the best breweries in Bangalore and the latest microbrewery to be set up within a 5-star hotel. It’s a blend of a luxury experience with the chilled vibe Bengaluru’s pubs are known for. Though the brewhouse stands within a 5-star property, the prices are at par with the city’s other microbreweries.

Karthik Singh, the brewmaster at the brewhouse is part of the reason for the popularity the place has earned. Some of their most prized brews include the intensely aromatic American Style West Coast IPA, the amber-colored spicy Saison and a delicate, fruity Kolsch.

The Hopshaus Taproom in Whitefield and Indiranagar has a unique buzz of their own. The kitchens offer a tavern-style food menu and an extensive draught beer collection on tap as well as a variety of ‘Haus cocktails’.

The cocktails use a blend of botanical ingredients, local spices and handcrafted bitters to celebrate seasonal flavors. Try the refreshing gin-based Eastside, the Asian Gimlet that uses a secret syrup to enhance Vodka flavors and the Purple Compass that balances white rum with blue tea and citrus notes.

6. Arbor Brewing Company (ABC)
