Few Mumbaikers would be honest about life in this city.
The humidity sits on you like a heavy blanket you didn’t ask for. You step outside and start melting on the spot, even in “winter”. Then the traffic. Nothing tests your patience like staring at a line of cars that refuse to move while everyone honks at nothing in particular.
By the time you get home, you deserve a medal. At the very least, a cold one. But not the sad, fizzy yellow stuff. You deserve better than that! Life’s hard enough; your beer shouldn’t be.
Most people grab whatever’s on the shelf. The same boring brands because it’s easy. But your palate craves a little joy, and that’s where Effingut steps in.
Real craft isn’t a hipster label. It ain’t about looking cool with a pint in your hand either. It’s about real ingredients and flavours that make you pause for a sec.
Every one of our craft beers in Mumbai gets the same love and attention. No yucky chemicals or preservatives. Just good beer made by good folks who enjoy making good beer. Premium craft beer awaits you.
Freshness Defines Craft Beer in Mumbai
Think about the last time you had a regular commercial beer. It often tastes a bit metallic. Well, it’s because those bottles sit around for months, collecting dust. They travel across the country in trucks hotter than a Mumbai local at rush hour. And by the time they reach your lips, the beer has basically lived three lives.
That’s not how we do things at Effingut. Our beer is brewed fresh, poured fresh, and meant to be enjoyed fresh, not to be stashed away in sad storage rooms. We don’t touch glycerin or any synthetic additives or flavouring agents. We don’t cheat our way to foam with chemicals. We stick to four things: malt, hops, yeast, and water. That’s the recipe.
And you can taste the honesty. The flavours jump out. Sips feel smoother. The whole experience just lands better. Really, fresh ingredients change everything. You taste the grain for what it really is. You smell the actual hops, not some artificial perfume. And let’s just say your head won’t hate you the next morning.
This is what sets us apart. We brew for flavour, not for shelf life. And this is the new baseline for craft beer in Mumbai.

We Canned the Magic for You!
Sometimes you just can’t make it to the pub. Maybe work ran late. Perhaps the weather betrayed you. Or you simply want to flop on your couch and stay there. Totally fair.
So we fixed the problem. How, you ask?
Cans!
Now you get the pub experience at home, minus the dress code. Effingut’s 500 ml cans don’t mess around. Here’s the lineup waiting to chill in your fridge.
Bavarian Wheat Beer
Meet India’s best Hefeweizen.
This style goes all the way back to the Middle Ages, and for good reason.
Expect banana and clove right up front, and a little bubblegum note from the yeast. It’s light and frothy and is perfect when you need a break from the Mumbai heat.
Strong Boozy Lager
Forget everything you think you know about “strong” beer. This one is craft done right.
We use Indrayani rice from Maharashtra to keep it crisp and smooth. It hits 8% ABV, but it stays balanced and easy on the palate.
Strong, yes. Harsh, never!
The InCider Scoop
We don’t just love grain. We love apples, too.
Try the InCider Ale Kashmiri Apple with its champagne-like bubbles and apples straight from Kashmiri estates.
Or go for the InCider Ale Cherry Berry, where ripe apples meet berry sweetness for a tart, almost playful finish.
It’s fruity. It’s berry refreshing!
Big Bottles for the Best Craft Beer in Mumbai
(See that alliteration in the heading? Guess my English major paid off. Ahem, moving on.)
Sometimes one can just doesn’t cut it.
Let’s say you’ve got a house party brewing. Or a long WoW session where you refuse to get up. Or maybe you’re settling in for a full season of something new.
For nights like that, you need backup. You need our 1-litre PET bottles, filled fresh just for you.
And we don’t play it safe with lagers. We bring variety for every mood.
Craving something crisp? Grab the Japanese Rice Lager. Feeling a lil’ adventurous? The Strawbeery Seltzer hits that refreshing sweetness just right. More of a dark beer lover? The Filter Coffee Porter brings roasty comfort with a rich coffee kick. Or try the New Dunkelweizen for a darker twist on classic wheat.
Effingut 2 Go keeps you stocked without the fuss. Fresh draught beer, straight into a bottle you can take anywhere. It’s convenience without compromise. Quantity without losing quality.
This is how we keep raising the bar for premium craft beer in Mumbai.
Local Heart, Global Soul
Mumbai deserves better beer. And so do you.
At Effingut, we take global styles seriously. We respect where they come from and the stories behind them. But we also live in India, and it would be unfair not to let our own flavours shine a little.
So we give classic brews a local twist. We use Indrayani rice in our lager. We bring in apples straight from Kashmir for our cider. The Salted Guava Wheat tastes like your favourite street-side treat in a glass. Familiar, but also brand new.
Whenever we can, we source local ingredients. Not because it’s cool to do so, but because it actually tastes better. Indian flavours have personality, after all. They’ve got attitude. So why not let them lead?
We respect tradition, sure. But we’re not scared to bend the rules when it makes the beer more fun. That’s what drives our brewing team every single day. It’s why we stay at the front of the pack when it comes to craft beer in Mumbai.
You get world-class styles with a local soul. That’s the Effingut promise.
Swing by our Colaba brewpub or our new Goregaon spot at NESCO when you can. Trust us, it’s going to be a good one!
FAQs
1. What makes a beer “craft” beyond ingredients?
Craft means small batches, hands-on brewing, and complete creative control. We design and tweak recipes ourselves. We test flavours. We brew because we love it, not because a market team told us to.
2. Do Effingut cans taste the same as the beer on tap?
Almost identical. We use careful carbonation and fresh canning runs. Tap pours feel softer because of natural carbonation, but cans stay incredibly true to flavour. We fill them in small runs and lock in flavour so the differences stay minimal for most drinkers.
3. Why does Effingut use so many different yeast strains?
Because yeast defines personality. Wheat beers need one strain. Porters need another. We match yeast to the style to bring out the right aromas and texture and stay true to global styles while still giving the beer our signature Effingut personality.
4. Does Effingut experiment with local ingredients?
Yes. We’ve used Indrayani rice, Kashmiri apples, guava, Indian spices, and more. We love giving global styles an Indian heartbeat. It’s how we stay creative and keep things fun!
