The first brewpub was unveiled in 2020 at Taj MG Road, Bangalore. The Goa outlet will offer beer inspired by the quintessential flavours of the region, as well as those made from the finest locally sourced ingredients and crafted by experienced international and Indian brewmasters.
Commenting on the announcement, Puneet Chhatwal, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, IHCL, said, “IHCL, for over a century, has pioneered new cuisines and food and beverage concepts. The opening of the Seven Rivers brewpub in Goa is in line with our vision of bringing differentiated experiences for our guests. Furthering our partnership with AB InBev, over the next five years, the concept will scale up to 15 new destinations across the country.”
Highlights of the pub include the Poi lager, which uses local Goan bread Poi as part of the mash bill, and the Kokum Gose, which uses the tangy local Kokum from the farms of Goa. The usual suspects – Witbier, Hefeweizen and Kolsch- also join the ranks. The brewpub will offer a menu with a mix of local Goan flavours and global favourites paired with craft brews.
Kartikeya Sharma, President – India & South East Asia, AB InBev, said, “The Seven Rivers brewpub is a testament to the growing consumer demand for artisanal beers, and we are confident that beer as a category is poised for growth in India.”
“We look forward to bringing the one of its kind – beer garden experience to Goa,” concludes Vincent Ramos, Senior Vice President, Goa, IHCL.
