The perfect pour results in a bold inch and change of head. You want to start the glass at an angle but quickly straighten to collect all the foamy flavour.
A rotating selection of special beers that we occasionally introduce in our portfolio for a short period of time.
Geist Tropical IPA is hazy with bright fruity aromas and a great mix of tropical hop flavours. Built on the Geist Kamacitra base, this beer has a perception of a lighter body and mouthfeel, with a supporting malt profile.
The Geist Tropical Ale is subtly sweet with lush passion fruit and guava characters, enhanced by a mild tartness. The pour reveals a straw yellow colour and the faint salt & chilli add a layer of freshness to this fruit beer.
The Geist Stratosphere Lager -- a limited release craft lager brewed by the Bangalore collective #LadiesWhoLager -- is straw yellow in colour with a soft mouthfeel, showcasing “Strata” hops. The simple malt profile and lager fermentation provide a clean canvas for the hops to shine in this adjunct beer featuring “Aralu”, Karnataka’s local popped rice. This exceptionally balanced beer has distinct and complex hop aromas and flavours of tropical fruit, stone fruit combined with floral characters and a wisp of berries. This broad depth of flavours, medium conditioning and the light alcohol warmth will delight most drinkers.
Brown-black in colour with a creamy tan head, the Geist Stouter Space stout has delightful notes of dark chocolate and roast. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, this delicious stout has hints of coffee, mild caramel, moderate hops bitterness and sweet malt notes blending together harmoniously.
The Geist Smoked Lager is a classic Rauchbier inspired by the historic smoked beers from the Bavarian town of Bamberg. Pouring light amber, this unique Märzen-style lager brewed with beechwood smoked barley malt, exhibits a toasty malt character balanced with mild smokiness. The light bitterness and delicate wood smoke provide a perfect finish to this medium-bodied beer.
With notes of grapefruit and tangerine accompanied by the most peculiar nuttiness, Geist Six Decades APA boasts the smoothest, most drinkable "IPA" without being an IPA at all. The Lotus™ hops shine through the beer, and augment the nutty notes that linger after a worthy sip. Even with its beautifully balanced haziness, it's rare to find a beer so robust and complex that goes down as easily as this one.
The Geist Silly Pint is a straw coloured, effervescent India Pale Lager with delicate notes of tropical fruits and floral botanicals. Brewed to session-strength, this delightfully light-bodied American-Style IPL is flavourful with a citrusy character and pleasant hops bitterness that lingers into the finish.
Geist Show Me The Honey is a wheat ale refermented with Multifloral Honey from the Moonshine Honey Project. It's a product of bees feeding on a variety of flora. The beer pours light gold with hints of banana and throws off huge honey flavours without being cloyingly sweet or winey. Heat was not applied to the honey during the refermentation process to preserve its purity and nutritional properties. The yeast blend feasting on the honey, has produced a flavourful beer with a lingering honey character and a dry finish.
Light on the palate, this hazy session beer pours deep straw colour with a distinct hop profile, a nicely restrained bitterness and a soft mouthfeel. The many layers of fruit flavours and hop aromas complement the lean malt base, balancing the lower alcohol content and the pale ale's character.
The Geist Rauch-a-Fella, a smoked wheat beer, inspired by the famous Smoke Beers of Bamberg, is sure to bring on an appetising smoke experience.

The distinctive smoke flavour, the toasty malt character and classic Weissbier yeast aromatics, make it a true Rauchweizen.
We brewed the Geist Pre-Pro Lager in celebration of New Beer's Eve (April 6th) - a momentous day in beer history. In American beer history, the late 1800s belonged to adjunct-based Lagers. Glasses of cloudy beer weren't as appealing to the Americans as clear ones. As all-malt beer brewed with their protein-rich 6-row barley was a challenge, most breweries used some kind of adjunct - corn, rice, sugar - creating a uniquely new kind of beer that was drier, lighter and clearer. The Geist Pre-Pro Lager is pale yellow in colour with a delicate depth of hop aromatics, gentle bitterness and a finely balanced profile. This 10°Balling adjunct lager presents a clean malty nose with a corn-like character and noticeable herbal hop flavour. For thirst, this lager is perfect!
The Geist Picket Fence IPA, a White Beer-India Pale Ale hybrid, pours pale yellow, featuring an experimental hop variety, HBC 586. With a spectrum of fruity flavours and a fine, restrained bitterness to support the refreshing witbier grain profile, this wheat ale also has notes of gentle spice, lemon and tangerine
The most noteworthy in the current barrel series, this wood-aged beer matured for five months in whisky casks, carries the unique Scottish highland peat character. The malt spirit from the previous barrel fill has contributed to the distinctive flavours, without being overpowering. Blended with a splash of Geist's classic stout to open up the cask notes and accentuate the roasted grain flavour, this edition brings a range of phenols from the peat smoke, with a lingering alcohol finish.
The Geist Passion Fruit Chilli Ale is a hazy yellow, fruity sweet ale with subtle aromas of fresh chilli and notes of tropical fruit. This beer is infused with locally sourced Passion Fruit and the mild chilli heat adds an interesting dimension to the sweet finish.
Brewed in collaboration with Ellerslie Hop & St. Andrews Beach Brewery.

Mildly bittered, this refreshing brew exhibits a light malt character topped with mellow fruity-citrus hop notes and a dry finish.
The Geist New England-Style IPA is juicy with fresh stone fruit and lush tropical fruit flavours, highlighted by a soft and significant bitterness. Supported by a delicate malt base, this Hazy IPA pours cloudy pale yellow, showcasing the versatility of American hops and its bright hop notes. Fermentation with a flavour and aroma enhancing yeast strain, SafAle™ S-33, has given this India Pale Ale a boost.
The Geist Maibock is a malt dominant lager that pours dark orange with a rich bread-like character and an assertive bitterness. With spicy and herbal notes from the noble hops, this medium bodied Helles Bock, fermented with a hybrid lager yeast strain from a novel lineage, Lalbrew NovaLager™, exhibits pleasant fruity notes with a subtle alcohol warmth that lingers into the finish.

Traditionally served in a 0.2-litre, cylindrical, thin-walled glass called the Stange, Kölsch Wies is unfiltered and Kölsch is filtered.

This sessionable beer, infused with Jamun (a purple-hued seasonal fruit), is perfect for a summer day. The bright all-natural fruit flavour and nicely balanced sweetness, tartness and saltiness, make this beer appealing to many.
The Geist Imperial Stout, a stouter version of the Geist Stouter Space has delicious notes of cocoa, toffee and mild coffee. Soft on the palate, the taste is a nice blend of malt character and moderate bitterness, with the smooth and velvety mouthfeel amplifying the flavours of dark chocolate and roasted grain.
The Geist Grapefruit Wheat Ale is hazy yellow with lively citrus aromas, fresh fruit sweetness and tanginess. The mild bitter and fruit character enhance the flavours of this light refreshing wheat beer.

Bursting with tropical fruit and funky notes like barnyard, horse and leather, this Wild Ale will continue to evolve and change character over time.
The Geist Blood Orange IPA is juicy with bursts of citrus fruit in the nose. Highlighting the freshness of the fruit, this west coast style IPA combines an assertive bitterness and mild resinous notes from the hops that linger into the aftertaste.
Geist Barrel-Aged Stout received seven months maturation in bourbon casks. The batch was blended with a touch of Geist Stouter Space and left for further maturation, giving it a silky mouthfeel. Notes of whisky in the forefront and noticeable alcohol, this beer is characterised by a distinctive taste of Maraschino Cherries, laced with chocolate reminiscent of Ferrero Rocher, all in excellent balance.
