Bangalore’s love for beer is clearly evident from the rising number of microbreweries in the city in recent years. The best breweries in Bangalore have gained their fair share of fame for coming up with some of the best stouts, ales and lagers you’ll ever have.
Gone are those days where you’d head directly back home from your workplace – plans these days, pop up at the most random occasions and happen so abruptly that saying ‘no’ is never an option (and why should you?). What better time to say “bottoms up, peeps!” than tonight?
List of Top 20 best Breweries in Bangalore

It is one of the best breweries in Bangalore.
On the tap, they have ‘Holiday Stout’ and crowd favorite ‘Irish Stout’ (dark with a tinge of caramel and coffee). Amongst the lighter ones, ‘Raging Elephant’ an Indian Pale Ale is the ideal choice.
