There’s some sort of race going on between Indiranagar and Koramangala on the number of microbreweries. Vapour has been around for a while, but we had delayed the visit because of mixed reviews. But on a Sunday when we just didn’t feel like having Koramangala versions of craft beer, we decided to check out Vapour. Located on 100 feet Road, it’s actually difficult to miss! (map) It’s spread across four floors, and since we wanted à la carte, we had an option of sitting on the terrace or on the 2nd floor. Given Bangalore’s random rains, we chose a table on the second floor with a view of 100 feet Road. The decor seemed to be industrial. Pop culture wall art under the a/c to add to the coolness. 😉
The menu is pretty elaborate and has everything from North Indian to Chinese to Continental. We first asked for a beer sample set (You can choose 4 from the 5 available) We visited on the week they had launched a new beer – the Gotze Blonde, so we ended up with samples of the Dark, Wheat, Ale and the Blonde. The Blonde turned out to be the best of the lot. Wheat, Ale and Dark in decreasing order of preference. Beef wasn’t available so we ordered a Fish Chilly Pepper Dry, which was quite spicy and went very well with the beer.
Next to arrive was the Bacon Wrapped bbq Glazed Chicken. Sweet, spicy and well cooked meat. Meanwhile, D asked for a Gotze Blonde and I decided to check out the Vapour Kula – dark beer, old monk, cherry brandy, orange juice. This was quite a potent mix and I really liked it. We debated a bit on pasta vs pizza vs continental fare. For a change, pizza won. Though Oriental was never part of the discussion, the pizza we chose was Chicken Thai sounded – Thai grilled chicken, green onion and tomato. Not a bad pizza, and sufficient in quantity to bump off all thoughts of desserts!
The service was quite prompt, though I wonder how it’d be when the place was packed. The wallet was left lighter by about Rs.2000. There are a couple of beer based cocktails I want to try, so I just might drop in again.
