Those experiencing the brand for the first time must try the fresh brews it offers. White zen - Mumbai’s Original Wheat beer, is light & refreshing with hints of clove and banana; Doppelganger is a dark and malty beer with a luscious mouthfeel; Zini Lager is a homage to a native rice variety, Zini from Palghar, which is on the verge of extinction. This light and crisp lager is great for easy drinking while being truly local at heart.

For teetotalers, the menu also has a wide selection of mocktails such as Espresso Tonic with orange, honey and mint; Spiced Guava with strawberry and lime; and Watermelon Mint with melon and coconut, amongst many others. Guests can also try Smoothies; Juices; Soft Beverages; Gourmet Teas and Fresh Ground Coffees.

Gateway Taproom, KalaGhoda will open doors to the public this October, just in time for the festivities.
