Hops n Brew

No Longer In Business

(Visited Aug 2016) Nice brewpub in the bar area Sector 29. Not really correct on the beermap, it’s located on the other side of N48, 20 meters from Downtown Beer Café, which is correct on the map. Interior looks like any cocktail bar. They had four beers brewed on the premises, quite good by India standards. Service was friendly and quite knowledgeable, it was fairly slow on my visit and the bar manager seemed to have time for a tourist beer geek. Worth a visit.

It’s hard to rate places in India...they usually are not much, compared to Europe or US, but it’s still far better then kingfisher and they should be encouraged to brew more. Anyway, they have three beers on tap: lager, strong and wheat. Tried the wheat, normally i’d say that it’s nothing special, but then again - by local standards it’s not bad. The place does not feel like a craft brew pub though - more like a regular bar.

The name suggests that you are going to escape the 3 brands in the fridge or on tap at the hotel, you are not. You will only give up more comfortable seats and a quieter environment. Keep walking, there is good beer out there somewhere....

Next to Downtown Beer Café. Rather charmless place with annoying loud music, mostly dull techno remixes. The beers are OK and the food is pretty good though.
