Indian Craft Brewery is psychologically closer to the airport than home, so it made sense that we dropped in there for dinner on our way back from a vacation.
As with most breweries, the place is huge, and the high ceilings add to the effect. I thankfully missed the mandatory artificial water body, but it does exist.
They did have interesting beer though. We tried samplers of El Chamraj (lager) and Raseela Cider before opting for their seasonal Oktoberfest beer and Nandi Nectar (honey based). Both excellent, and good to come back to.
The Chicken Gyoza – pan grilled, with a very good chilli garlic dip that took the dish a notch higher.
The Haleem Samosa was decent – crisp with a well cooked lamb filling. The dip, unlike the previous one was quite insipid though.
The Thai Basil fish was spicy in patches, and made for a good beer companion.
The Chilli Coriander Fish looked like the Andhra Chilli dishes we love for their spice level, but didn’t pack that level of a punch in this case. The fish being pre-fried nuggets didn’t help.
A meal for two with beer would be in the range of Rs.2000. There are a lot of other options on the menu for both small and large plates, so it’s unlikely to run out of choices. The beer was good too, and if it weren’t for the distance, we’d probably visit more often.
