Not much comes close to clinking glasses of beer with your loved ones after a long, hard day, or even on a relaxed weekend. The chilled beverage holds the ability to allow people to converse, bond, and simply create unforgettable memories.
The rise of homegrown beer has been exponential for a few years now. With beer being brewed locally, even the consumers are implementing a shift in their preferences. After all, brewing one’s own beer makes room for a range of flavours, leaving beer-lovers spoilt for choice.
In Mumbai, several breweries are serving up options for this oh-so-lovable alcoholic beverage and even providing their bottled versions to take the party home. The taste of homegrown brewed beer at home? Sign us up for that!
I. Drifters Brewery
From pilsners to lager, and ales to ciders, Drifters Brewery has got you covered for any kind of beer craving. For wheat-based beer lovers, we encourage you to take a pick from Belgian Wit, Hefeweizen, and Citra Wit - these are just some of the many, many options. The Irish Red Ale, Kokum Cider, and Watermelon Cider look just as intriguing.
To spice up your Valentine’s Day, Drifters has introduced the Vinyard Ale, a beer infused with wine grapes - introducing the essence of wine into beer!

The home of the White Zen, a classic German-style wheat brew, Gateway Brewing Co. is one of Mumbai’s leading microbreweries. Their beers use no artificial flavouring and are made using local produce and traditional processes.
Gateway Brewing Co. is celebrating its 8th anniversary, and to mark these wonderful years, have released a limited-edition brew, Early Riser. It is a barley malt and Earl Grey tea brew, perfect to pair with brunches.
