In recent years, there has been an explosion of unique and modern ways of travelling that have been introduced. These new travel experiences have been created to cater to the changing tastes and preferences of travellers who are seeking more immersive and authentic travel experiences. Launched by Catamaran Brewing Co., the Hop on Beer bus that will run from Chennai to Puducherry offers a fun and social experience that is both educational and enjoyable.
Beer On Bus?
Launching on April 22, you can now travel from Chennai to Puducherry on a beer bus. The bus ride costs Rs 3,000 for a passenger. The trip will include a round trip from Chennai, a three-course meal, and unlimited craft beer. The duration of the trip is 12 hours, with pick-up being at 9 am at a pre-designated spot.
In addition to this, the trip also includes a guided tour of the microbrewery. The trips will be done on the weekend and aim for a group of 40 travelling.
However, there’s a catch! Despite the name ‘beer bus’, you cannot drink beer inside the bus. Instead, the beer bus will make a stop in Puduvai at a selected location. The bus drops you at a microbrewery in Puducherry where you can taste some of the finest beers in the region. You can also take a tour of the brewery and learn about the brewing process.
While you’re there taking a tour of the brewery, you can also sample all eight varieties of craft beer – from apple cider, dark lager, and India pale ale to Belgium witbier. The three-course meal shall involve steaks, fish curries, unlimited biryani and desserts such as mango panna cotta and mango cheesecake.
