We’re an Indian craft beer brand that makes fresh and planet-friendly craft beer, now available in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pondicherry.
Since 2017, we’ve been brewing a range of global craft beer styles. We set up South India’s first distribution craft brewery by transforming a once abandoned plywood factory set amid the fields of Nimbekaipura – (literal translation: the village of lemons) into a brewer’s paradise.
We brew a variety of international craft beer varieties including wheat beers, IPAs, stouts, lagers and more

We’re beyond thrilled to announce that Geist Rauch-a-Fella, our Franconia-style smoked wheat beer, has been awarded the Silver Medal at the European Beer Star Awards 2024 in the Smoke Beer category! This marks the first time an Indian brewery has claimed victory at this globally renowned competition since its inception in 2004.
Around 150 international beer experts met to taste and evaluate a total of 2360 beers in a two-day blind tasting. The beers submitted were tasted and evaluated in a total of 75 categories as part of the European Beer Star international expert tasting. Geist Rauch-a-Fella’s authentic interpretation of a Rauchweizen impressed the international panel of judges, making this a proud moment for Indian craft beer on the global stage.
In 2020, we set up our flagship beer garden restaurant nestled under the shade of a 100-year-old Banyan tree beside our production brewery. Our menus are curated and designed to offer homestyle cooking favourites from India and around the world – comfort food with a special Geist twist that pairs best with our beer! Today, we proudly operate multiple Geist Brewing Co. locations around Bangalore.
