Thirst Quencher!

Ah! Beer…that’s the first thought when you take a sip of a cool beer mug after a hot and stressful day. Good beer with some good company is the best remedy there is.

Crafting beer is an art. There is constant battle between people who love to drink about their choice of drink. The battle of epic proportions between Beer v/s Wine v/s Whiskey v/s Scotch v/s Vodka..where does it end? Let’s talk about Breweries today.

Following in the steps of the United States, various Microbreweries have come up in India. Gurgaon has seen its mushroom growth in this particular sector. I’ve been to a winery and then now to a brewery, one thing’s for sure – you cannot surpass the picturesque view of the winery. Crisp clean air, surrounded by vineyards and you get to taste some robust wines with cute little savoury or sweet accompaniments.

Moving away from the scenery, let’s talk more about the upcoming and established breweries of Gurgaon. With so many selections on the list, one can be bequeathed for a decent pick. I’ve only experienced two breweries as of now and I’m already a fan. I’m partial to wheat beer, malt has a peculiar aftertaste though. With 5-5.6% of alcohol content, it seems to be pretty decent. Though the only thing that these breweries should work on is the food, music and the ambience, especially Hops n Brew. For a person to enjoy a holistic experience these are essential ingredients. The DJ was ridiculously bad, to the extent that I had to write in my song selection. The crowd was pretty mediocre, beer was okay..ish.

Bronx on the other hand was relatively decent place with pretty awesome decor and ambience was pretty cool. The menu is quite a mix of various cuisines which is good since it gives one more options, though their brew wasn’t as potent as I would have liked it to be, it was still not bad. The place is definitely worth a visit.

This wonderful experience though just makes me keener to read up on beer. Cheers!
