Verbena Brewpub

Popular roof-top eatery at Kamala Mills, Verbena, has now launched its own microbrewery within the premises itself. A section of the brewpub is now dedicated to freshly brewing five different varieties of beers at a time.

As we enter the Skygarden for the preview of these newly-launched beers, we are greeted by the brewmaster who gives us a walk through the brewery. The impressive set-up manages the entire process from scratch, including storing their wheat and barley right here. After learning the basis of beermaking, we head to the part we were looking forward to the most– tastings!

The five flavours brewed here and available on tap are the Stout-Out, Fordidden fruit, Aye Blonde, Yayger Bierster and Verbena White. Very intregued by the name Yayger Bierster, we asked the brewmaster about it. "Taste it to know for yourself," he said. And we did. One sip of us made it go "Yay!" as what we were trying was, they informed us, the first Jagermeister flavoured beer introduced! Hard-core beer-lovers may or may not approve, but we found the Jagermeister flavour an interesting and creative offering.

The Verbena White, however was our favourite with its cool, refreshing and light flavour. For those who enjoy a stronger beer, the Stout-Out does not disappoint.

Order some heavily loaded nachos from the tempting food menu, they are a good accompaniment with the beers. Also well-prepared are their Indian tandoori preparations, so do not hesitate before ordering a chicken tikka too. They'll vanish from the table before you know.
