Among these urban oases of flavour and freshness, Bengaluru stands tall as the undisputed leader, spearheading India’s brewpub movement.

The brewpub culture in metro cities in India has seen significant growth in recent years, with Bengaluru leading the way.

Why Bengaluru Leads The Movement? 

Bengaluru, often referred to as the “Pub Capital of India,” was among the first cities to embrace the brewpub culture. Toit Brewpub, one of India’s earliest microbreweries, opened its doors in Bengaluru in 2010, setting the stage for others to follow. The city’s thriving IT industry and a young, cosmopolitan population have contributed to the city’s dynamic beer culture. The city hosts craft beer festivals, such as “The Great Indian Octoberfest,” attracting brewers and beer enthusiasts from across the country. 

Bengaluru boasts several brewery clusters, such as Sarjapur Road, Koramangala, and Whitefield. These clusters make it convenient for residents to explore different brewpubs within close proximity.
