Top beer selections in Mumbai for a buzzing experience

From the Czech list


For those who like their beers plain and simple, the Czech classic pilsner is a no-brainer. A clean bready character from the barley paired with the earthy notes from the hops, and you have a crisp beer that’s easy to sip, and hard not to chug.
AT Effingut, Dhanraj Mahal, Colaba. 
(Retail stores in Chembur, Andheri, Malad, and Bandra)

As a cider note


Are ciders really beers or more like wines? A glass full of the new blueberry or strawberry ciders at this popular beer guzzlers’ haunt will leave you with little time to ponder. These sweet ciders that swap out the usual grains for unfiltered fruit in the fermentation process are a treat for those on the gluten-free path.       
AT Doolally Taproom (Thane, Andheri, Khar). LOG ON TO @godoolally
CALL 9987379500 (Thane)

Say it with flowers

This brewery located at the city’s doorstep offers some unique brews that make for the perfect welcome drink. Our pick is the hibiscus ale Hapi Hibici that is brewed with fresh hibiscus flowers that lend a tropical sweetness and a distinct dryness to the drink. This floral concoction will ensure your glass is always half-phool.
AT R Hapi Brewing Co, Dahisar Check Naka, Penkarpada Road, Dahisar East.
CALL 8104803915

All at once

This everything-beer, Mosaic IPA, is for the indecisive ones. The bitterness from the hop-heavy formula and fruity undertones from mangoes and lemons converge to give us the mosaic IPA. Those looking for a heavy, hoppy drink beyond the traditional IPAs, this one is right up your alley.
AT Gateway Taproom, Kala Ghoda, Fort; G Block, BKC.
CALL 7506128945 (Fort); 8104590734 (BKC)

Yeh dil mango more

If you love a good crisp lager but miss the fruity punch from ales, this brew shop has the perfect blend of the two. The mango lager is crisp, light, and packs a sweet aftertaste of the king of fruits, making it a great companion for brunches. As the mango season draws to a close, it’s as good a reason as any to grab a cold pint 
right now.
AT Brew Whale Craft Beer, Orlem, Malad West; Union Park Road, Khar West. LOG ON TO airmenus.in/brewwhalebeer (to order)
CALL 8928543276 (Khar)

Kuch meetha ho jaye

Try this brewery’s Irish cream stout, loverboy, which features an infusion of chocolate, coffee and hazelnut, topped with a drizzle of hazelnut syrup. Named aptly for its bold and adventurous bittersweet flavour profile, we suggest you give this lover boy a chance.
AT Independence Brewing Company, Central Avenue, Powai; Seven Bungalows, Andheri West.
