New brewery in the neighbourHoodi village meant that at some point we had to visit – ABV – Artisanal Bier Village. It was delayed because for some reason, I thought it was just The Pallet rebranded. As with every other microbrewery, this one too is expansive, with multiple floors and the mandatory large television screens. We sat on what was like a mini terrace on the first floor.
I think the best thing about the place was the Helles Lager. I had liked the Mannheim version too, but this one was better. D chose her usual Hefeweizen, known here as The Wise Old Hefe.
It was a rainy night, and that meant the Woo-Man-Chow punched above its weight, despite being just average.
The Tibetan Momo was saved by one excellent dip, a peanut based one if I remember right.
The Dragon Bird Eye Chicken was obviously spicy, and went quite well with the beer.
We had to try this when we saw it on the menu – Puliogare Arancini. It was a brave attempt and wasn’t an absolute failure but I don’t think I’ll repeat.
Middle age meant that we didn’t have the appetite for mains. The service was just about okay, and the bill came to just a little under Rs.2500.
If you live around, ABV – Artisanal Bier Village could be a reasonable hangout, but don’t make a trek for it.
