Bengaluru (Bangalore) is often called India's pub capital, and since 2010 its microbreweries have become the default setting for a night out, a team outing or a Sunday brunch. The events below, refreshed daily, are the ones hosted by breweries and pubs: live bands and DJ nights, quizzes, stand-up shows, screenings of big matches, beer festivals and brewery tours. Toit on 100 Feet Road in Indiranagar, open since 2010, describes itself as one of the city's first microbreweries; Arbor Brewing Company on Magrath Road, established in 2012, bills itself as India's first American craft brewery; Windmills in Whitefield pairs its brewery with a ticketed jazz stage; Byg Brewski runs garden brewpubs in Hennur, on Sarjapur Road and in Yeshwanthpur; and Ironhill on the Outer Ring Road at Marathahalli is spread over 1.3 lakh square feet. Koramangala, HSR Layout, JP Nagar and Whitefield each have their own clusters. House ranges typically cover a wheat beer, a lager, a stout and an IPA, with seasonal brews on rotation. Most venues admit only guests aged 21 and over in the evening and check ID, and big brewpubs take table reservations online.
