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

Last year, Geist Brewing Co. became the first Indian brewery to win at the European Beer Star with a Silver. This year, we’ve gone one better. Geist Uncle Dunkel—our Bavarian–style Dark Wheat Beer—has been awarded Gold in the South German Style Hefeweizen Dunkel category at the European Beer Star Awards 2025 in Munich.
This is a category historically dominated by German breweries — won for the very first time by an Indian brewery. For a beer brewed in Bangalore to be celebrated in Germany, the birthplace of this style and the heart of global brewing culture, is an achievement we’ll cherish forever.
This year’s competition saw more than 2,200 beers from around the world entered across 74 categories. Over 150 international experts — from master brewers to beer sommeliers and trade journalists — tasted and evaluated the entries in a blind format, focusing solely on appearance, aroma, taste, and style-true character. Only the top three beers in each category earned a medal, making the European Beer Star one of the most rigorous and respected beer competitions in the world.

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.
