Your Guide to Mumbai’s Breweries

It looks like Mumbai has been taking lessons from its neighbour, Pune in brewing. Pune has been at the forefront of the craft beer revolution in India, and Mumbai seems determined to catch up. Both Doolally and Brewbot recently got their licenses, and are now among the craft beer stalwarts in the city. Here’s where you should be heading on your craft beer pilgrimage across Mumbai!

1)  Doolally Taproom

2) Brewbot

Having recently got its brewing license, Brewbot is offering craft beers brewed by American brewmaster Julie Bagett. Among these you can expect the ‘Skywalker’, a Kolsch beer, the ‘Floating Head’ – a Hefewizen, the ‘Mojo Rising’, a Midwestern Pale Ale and the ‘Black Mamba’ a Chocolate Oat Cream Stout. Enjoy the beers with some awesome burgers and classic music.

3)  The White Owl

The White Owl is a giant among beer destinations in Mumbai. A cute white owl mascot adorns the mugs that the beers are served in, but forget about gushing over that and just start to chug. Try the Ace, the Diablo and the Halcyon. They have a menu with other alcohols as well, but why ever would your order from that?

4) The Barking Deer
