On any given day, #Beer is my favourite beverage. And when you talk about freshly brewed #Craftbeer – fir toh sone pe suhaga! Over the last ten years, many things have changed in the city. And one of the best things that happened was new Microbreweries emerging in different corners of the city. There are quite a few #Microbreweries that make fresh beer right here , but here are my top 5 picks.
Pro tip : 1. Always ask for their beer tasting platter 2. Don't be rigid, be experimental.
1. Brewbot
Location : Veera Desai Road, Andheri & Bandra
Website : https://brewbot.in/
Contact : +91 9326072768
#Brewbot has been mine and my husband’s go-to place for good beer and laid back ambiance. Although their indoor seating is comfortable, I love the outdoor cozy seating. The music here is never loud and that makes it a perfect place to hangout.
Our favourite Beer :
Botwork Orange Belgum Wit with beautiful undernotes of Coriander & Orange. This has got a creamy texture.
Floating Head – A German Hefeweizen. Undernotes of Banana & Clove . Creamy & delicious.
What to eat
Farmhouse Pizza
Rosemary Fries
Disco Fries
Pick any burger
P.S. They have Sunday brunch which is highly recommended.
