Though microbreweries pubs that brew and sell beer on the premises are no longer a rarity in cities like Delhi and Mumbai,the trend is just about starting off in Chandigarh,with Hops n Grains being the tricitys first. Launched formally on Friday in Panchkulas Sector 9,Hops n Grains is spread over three floors with the psychedelic-lit brewery in the basement and the ground floor. To complement the industrial setup (read large steely tanks with pipes jutting out) the pubs interiors,specially the concrete surfaces,have been left deliberately unfinished. Its a new concept and we are hoping it will catch up here too, says owner Amritanshu Agrawal,who learned the tricks of the trade in Australia. I wanted to set up a place that was young at heart, he adds.
The microbrewery catches ones attention the moment you step inside the restaurant. The seating is casual and contemporary with high bar stools and fuss-free tables and couches. The highlight is definitely the beer,brewed fresh and made from German hops,Australian barley and yeast from France. All the ingredients are put together through various brewing processes,the result of which is four types of lager beer premium,dark,wheat and light. All the beer we brew is free from preservatives or chemicals, adds Agrawals partner and wife Dr Priyanka Gupta.
