Eight Finger Eddie by Goa Brewing Co

The beers are brewed in a beautiful 250 year old Indo-Portuguese bungalow in the village of Sangolda, Goa.



Punk IPA by Brewdog


This medium bodied beer has a caramel taste and has the perfect carbonation levels which add to the drinkability of the brew. “Named after the music movement which created a global shift in music this beer too is creating a similar shift in the beer industry.



Vanilla Porter by Kimaya Brewing Company


Dark, bubbly and full of flavour, Vanilla Porter is a crowd pleaser. “It’s an impeccably balanced beer, neither too heavy nor too light and perfect for any time of the day and year. The locally sourced vanilla pods, dark chocolate malt and roasted barley create the perfect medley of flavours.
