Outer Ring Road Edition
Mannheim Whitefield
Afternoon sun, open space, first pint in hand. This is how the crawl begins. Crisp German lagers that taste even better when it’s still daylight, tangy sours to wake you up, and just enough grill smoke drifting over to make you hungry. The place is huge but never feels rushed. Perfect for slow pours, easy conversation, and setting the tone before things get loud later in the night. Mannheim at 2 PM is not about chaos, it’s about starting smooth.
Toit Mahadevapura
The OG name in Bangalore beer. Toit Mahadevapura is bigger, brighter, and just as buzzing as the Indiranagar legend. The Basmati Blonde is still the crowd favorite, the Toit Weiss still smooth, and the pizzas still dangerous when you’re a few rounds in. Everyone knows Toit, everyone ends up at Toit, and there’s a reason it’s still the city’s most loved pitstop.
Ironhill
This place is massive. Asia’s largest microbrewery and it feels like it. Neon lights, endless tables, music pumping, and beers that just keep coming. Wheat beers for the easy drinkers, stouts for the brave, IPAs for the loud ones. Ironhill is where conversations get messy, someone orders too many pitchers, and the crawl kicks into overdrive.
Long Boat Brewing Co.
Step into a Viking party. Dark wood, fake fire pits, giant platters, and beers poured into goblets. The IPAs bite, the stouts are heavy, and the vibe is just rowdy enough to shake up the crawl. It’s part theme park, part brewery, and completely fun once you lean into the madness. Perfect place for mid-crawl chaos with your crew shouting over mugs.
Biergarten Bellandur
Lights strung overhead, long benches packed, and wheat beers foaming up everywhere. Biergarten is noisy, happy, and always full of energy. DJs slip beats into the night, friends clink oversized glasses, and random tables join your laughter. This is where the crawl feels like a full-blown party. If you were still pacing yourself, forget it.
Bier Library Sarjapur
The soft landing. Green courtyards, chill playlists, saisons and sours flowing slow. After the chaos of Ironhill and Biergarten this is where you catch your breath. Share a pizza, sip something funky, maybe grab a quiet corner. The night winds down but the conversations don’t. Bier Library is the last stop, the final cheers, the place you’ll want to linger even when the crawl is technically over.
Heading home?
Before the night ends, chug some water, grab salty snacks, and soak up the last beers with greasy food. Someone will insist they’re fine right before regretting it, another will disappear and return with a stranger and a wild tale, and the group chat will overflow with blurry photos. Tomorrow brings groggy heads and half-serious vows of “never again,” but deep down everyone knows the truth — you’ll be back for the next crawl.
