The pandemic and lockdown may have put a damper on most Bengalureans' favourite activity - enjoying a craft beer in our favourite brewery. But our breweries are not one to sit back! Most of the city's breweries are offering beer takeaways in growlers. Since it is International Beer Day on August 7, we at Indulge decided to pen down our guide to the best craft beer takeaways available in Benglauru:

Arbor Brewing Company
Of course, we have to start with Arbor. One of our personal favourites, this brewery is offering takeaway options such as Bangalore Bliss, a Hefeweizen, Watermelon Kettle Sour, Beach Party Double IPA and Michael Faricy Stout.
