Bangalore Brewery Guide

Bangalore's microbrewery revolution started in 2010 when Toit opened its doors in Indiranagar. Since then, the city has become home to over 50 craft breweries, earning its title as India's Pub Capital.

Why Bangalore for Craft Beer?

The city's moderate climate is perfect for beer drinking year-round. A young, cosmopolitan population with disposable income created the perfect market. And liberal licensing laws made it possible for breweries to flourish.

Best Areas for Brewery Hopping

  • Indiranagar: Toit, 612 East, and more within walking distance
  • Koramangala: The Bier Library and several others
  • Whitefield: Windmills, Red Rhino - premium experiences
  • JP Nagar: Pump House - the local favorite

Pro Tips

  • Weekends are packed - arrive before 7 PM for a table
  • Order a tasting flight to try multiple beers
  • Most breweries have great food - don't skip the pub grub
  • Prices are similar across breweries - ₹350-450 per pint
